Balanced AI Option

from Sins Forums

There are currently four levels of difficulty...good

There are also four (I think) types of types of AI's....economic, fortified, agressor, researcher.  Is there a possibility that a Balanced AI can be added in as well that is a combo of all 4 and therefore better in some areas but lacking as well.  Maybe one of these AI fulfills the role of Balanced already and I just don't know it.

Thanks,

I agree with you Phalnax.  For the time being though, could you have a team of for AIs with different attribuites helping each other out to achieve a better AI combined?

yeah possibly...but maybe a new feature  (mini feature)  down the line with hope...Anyone else agree?

I think thatd be a good idea it can all too often be too easy to beat anenemy thats focused on a particular aspect of development once you've figured out exactly what they are trying to do so a balanlenced oponent coud well provide a deeer challenge cause theres no way to see exactly what it'd be doing

you never know it could be added as part of the next expansion

yeah indeed...if i find them hunkered down, i don't have to worry about defense....and it ruins it until i go on the offense but Balanced AI would be nice....hard to believe they don't have it...but i'm sure unfair AI would own no matter...i'm not there yet lol

I think it would be interesting if there was an AI that would go all-out on one strategy, but switch course mid-game to focus on something else.  e.g., start out as an Aggressor, but then start fortifying, or vice versa.  Obviously it would take some work to make sure that it didn't switch at a bad time, though... ideal would be if it could figure out when a good time was!  ("ok, my fortifications and defensive fleet just destroyed the main enemy fleet -- time to assemble a strike force and zap a planet or two...")

Yeah, i wonder if Unfair AI does that...but idk...i haven't played them.  That and a balanced option would be nice...

i dont think unfair does, all that does is the same as hard but gives them bonuses like economy and probably construction etc etc
