Are some AIs better at tactical warfare?

September 28, 2006 7:37:15 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I know that there are four categories of AI. Does the category affect "startegic" actions only or also "tactical" ship movment, i.e. are some AIs smarter than others in moving/positioning their ships? (e.g. not leaving undefended transports within striking distances, not chasing weak ships into ambushes etc) Thank you!

No, but that might make for an interesting racial ability.

If Frogboy could work out a way to make the tactical AI better, he'd do it for all the races.

I believe there r differences.

I have always found the Altarians and Arceans very competent in war. Strange, u would expect it to be one of the evil races. Not sure if those use the same AI script or not.

I agree Meglobob. I have noticed that if they get big enough, Altarians get pretty smart in war. Thinking that were peace loving, I have ignored them at times and regreted it. They also seem to hate me. Could be because I am ALWAYS evil.

I think that evil races should be better at war. If it could even be done(unlikely) you could have that as a race went to war more and more, the got better at designing ships and deploying forces.

This is easy. The human (non-AI) player is the best.

I don't know why they can get the AI players to half-play
like some of the humans.

Maybe they want the humans to win. I guess that can't be
all bad.

Yes.  Some compuer players are better than others. Each one has its own AI.

That's just teasing. In what order would you rank their fighting ability?

Somehow I get the impression that Frogboy isn't going to tell us that one Mumblefratz.

I was trying to cajole a response out of him, but you probably just spoiled my chances (no hard feelings though). Actually, I doubt even he could give a definitive answer, but I would think his subjective opinion would be better than most.

Has anyone noticed that the Thalans r the most friendly of all races?

Game after game, they always just go to friendly and stay there. If I have just military conquest on they r usually always the last race I have to conquer and I always feel a little guilty conquering them.

Actually, IMHO humor has the best chance of eliciting a response. In fact our interchange has probably increased our odds.

You don't think free men fight better than slaves?
