JEDI_MASTA Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 ever notice that in all the screen shots that iv seen of swgb the armies look pretty small i hope this dosent mean that it will be really hard to create large armies and id like to kinda see what a large amount of wookie berzerkers could do to a place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 The AI in AOK doesn't like making large armies, that is probably why we are not seeing masses of troops, like most players will make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest T.I.E Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 I think that when they show a screen shot with a huge army it makes things messy. Its harder to pick out units and isnt a very good marketing eye candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admiral Odin Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 Also the screenshots are showing a portion of the map. I think that they want to show of a different units and having a larger army would have units all over the place. by building small forces you then can concentrate on individual pieces and won't get overwhlemed.

Guest Gamma732 Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 Its just a screen shot. I doubt they want to show off most of their units by posting a shot of a huge army. One would think that they would want to keep some suprises from getting out just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 actually, the screenshots in PC Gamer from june showed off a Hoth battle with LOTS of units. tons of stormtroopers and such. looked very intense. What i'm really curious about is how those BIG units willl look and work. From the sound of it, the team is increasing the size of the vehicles as they go.

Guest God Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 yeah, i think that the big units may look weird when they turn around. they may just jerk to face another direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paladin Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 the AI in age of empires always build a strong defense but didn't build that many troops:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rommel Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 They built a ton of defense, but it wasn't nessacerily strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEDI_MASTA Posted August 28, 2001 Author Share Posted August 28, 2001 then they would make baracks ARCHERY RANGES stables siege shops and not use them and they made few numbers of willagers and used stupid strategy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gamma732 Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 It was an AI playing, you can't expect a whole lot from an AI player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitth'raw'nuruodo Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 I hated it how the computer could do so many things at one, especially how it controlled it's bowmen! And yet, it was so stupid at times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 I agree, they need to design the AI around how a single player would play. That means doing only one thing at a time, and it also means that they would build up armies, and also rush a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord JayVizIon Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 there were pretty good rushes in starcraft, esp by the zergs, so you can expect something like that here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admiral Odin Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 my dream AI, one that learns. when you begin a new game the AI starts out normal. But as the game goes along it tries different things depending upon the succes or failure of such things it will try something else or modify it a little bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 dream on then. The AI formulates strategies before the game even begins. To have an AI that learns would be next to impossible, as so many factors would have to be calaculated. Like, say they attacked one place, and failed, then if they were to learn it would have to formulate another entire strategy, then if the next one failed, they's have to come up with another, and so on and so on. So you see why that won't be happening any time soon i don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xwing guy Posted August 29, 2001 Share Posted August 29, 2001 Now that would be awesome. It would be kinda like the borg they would atapt so you would constatly keep thinking up new startigies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your partially right, there is a certain degree of learning in AI like that, but it is only a single command. It takes the previous play and runs through a likely defense for the next play. You could run the same play almost every time (as i frequentlly do), but the command is still random, so you will only be totally blocked a small percentage of the time. Leanring, and retaining knowlege is something that requires a vast number of commands and possibilities. But your right, its not impossible, but it would be ver very hard.
