Better AI?

Post by pecelot »

It goes without saying that the original AoE 3 AI is dumb as shit, anyway single player games or even comp stomps with some noob friends may be quite interesting, so I'm looking for a substitute for that - do you have any reccomendiations, any links with a better CPU?

I remember some guy named Murdilator ended up improving it more. But at some point, he merged it with some new patch he wanted to make (that wasnt too good).. I cant really find the solo AI of his right now unfortunately.

I found one as well in the Improvement Mod but it changed the game completely so that you couldn't return to the ??nilla" version of TAD and it was also quite difficult and time-wasting to uninstall it so it's probably not worth trying.

Why do you even expect the AI to be smart? It's impossible to make AI better than a human player.

Btw, you can assign AI a strategy with scenario editor yourself. I once made a scenario where AI does 10/10 agra rush 3 years ago. It did work okay, but still AI is dumb enough.

The changed AI is pretty good though.. Current AI raelly does use retarded unit compositions and build orders. If you make them do something smart (not halbs) and make them do a logical build order, the expert AI would be really tough.

As it was already mentioned, better unit composition for instance, but you know I expect Ai to at least make a landing on the main island on Ceylon if it is an original map...

It doesn't really matter, it's just a good example. Btw. I guess at one point in time everyone played it just to try?
