Companions/ Allied AI

from Stardock.net Forums

Alright I have a question. Is this game going to allow us to place companion characters into games? Let's say I want to make an action rpg, and not a cookie cutter FF Nes clone.

I'll add it to the list of requests :)  As a huge 'Secret of Mana' fan, I'd love to see AI companions get implemented!

THANKS!

Another thing, have you ever played Ogre Battle 64? I have in mind a strat rpg where you don't control your units in battles. It's AI controlled. You do the preperation work and can select tactical priorities.

Scotty, would you take a few minutes to watch that video about Ogre Battle so you get an idea of how the AI controlled combat works?

Hey SarYehudah,

I'm swamped right now getting the last round of bugs hammered out for the Alpha 1 build, but this weekend I'll make time to watch that video and get back to you with thoughts on how VGM would do AI controlled units.
