I like the new effects you made! Do you know how to make AI do naval transport invasion?

Give it a try on island maps, Transport invasion is included already xd. Or u can simply take a look at my aimd.ini

If I tell you all of my AI's unique features then how will mine be any different from yours? 

Are we not rivals?!

I'll tell you the bug though, after a certain number in the buildings list (for targeting in the scripts) the buildings have incorrect names, so you have to select one building before the actual one you want. 

I forgot the exact number where it starts going wrong, but I know it affects all yuri buildings. 

 

For the naval transport make it move to your barracks or factory first, than use the load transport script action + guard area 20-30 ticks, move to enemy building (must be specific), unload transport action (2 return transport on unload keep units), any attack commands after that.

Philosophy. Despite the fact I am really impressed by Toveena's weapon effects, I will never add them because I want the game to be basically the same. Our differences would be:

 

1. Your adjustment is map specific, intelligently using different paths. My AI will keep going the same way, but it will work on any map.

2. I included some balance change, you only changed AI.

3. I tend to focus on the macro side of things, while your attacks are very specific like targeting economy.

4. Your AI go all in basically have no base defense. Ultra aggressive.

 

I know the fix. Download my mod, it has the correct ordering of building numbers. Copy it.

My AI is not map specific, it uses different paths naturally. If I add it to any other map or globally it will find the least protected path for some attacks and it will work on any map.
I'm just developing the AI on map to make online/play testing easier, using Final Alert 2 to configure the AI as it has a proper AI editor built in.

That's the general idea of my mini project, AI only for the vanilla game.

I'm selecting the most effective strategies and including some macro attack groups as well, I find the specific attacks to be more effective against players.

That's only because I haven't added the base defence scripts yet, it's all in the design plan, I've mentioned this before.
It will build base patrol and defence groups in the future.

How about you tell me how to make the AI build multiple factories and I'll tell you how to deso bomb?

Thx, I spent over a year and half polishing my INIs, and it is still an ongoing project.

1 Basically you duplicate existing factories, and set techlevel=-1 so player cannot build it. Beware how much you give them, because AI handle extra factory differently than players. 2 factory = double speed and half price. Slightly faster than 3 player factories. I dont want to add more than 3 factory unless you want an AI cheating very obviously.

 

1. Add numbers for new buldings

[BuildingTypes]
407=BLD001
408=BLD002
409=BLD003
410=BLD004

2. Duplicate the new buildings and change their name to the one listed above. Such as:

[BLD001]
Adjacent=2
AIBuildThis=yes
Armor=wood
Bib=yes
BuildCat=Tech
Capturable=true
Cost=2000
Crewed=yes
DamageParticleSystems=SparkSys,SmallGreySSys,BigGreySmokeSys
DamageSmokeOffset=408,880,435
DebrisAnims=DBRIS1LG,DBRIS1SM,DBRIS2LG,DBRIS4LG,DBRIS4SM,DBRIS5LG,DBRIS5SM,DBRIS6SM,DBRIS7LG,DBRIS7SM
DeployTime=.044
ExitCoord=512,256,0
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
Factory=UnitType
Image=GAWEAP
ImmuneToPsionics=no
MaxDebris=15
MinDebris=5
Name=Allied War Factory
NumberImpassableRows=1
Owner=British,French,Germans,Americans,Alliance,Russians,Confederation,Africans,Arabs,YuriCountry
Points=80
Power=-25
Prerequisite=PROC,GAPILE,GACNST
Sight=4
Spyable=yes
Strength=1000
TechLevel=-1
ThreatPosed=0
UIName=Name:GAWEAP
WeaponsFactory=yes

3. Go to above codes, set TechLevel=-1 to prevent players seeing duplicate buildings. Set Image=(original building name).

4. If that looks like trouble, just copy my rulesMD.ini

Did you design some of the effects on your own? I don't see some of them on vanilla game. Or are they unused assets?

[Toveena]

Yes, they are all unused assets in vanilla mix files, 0 exterior art work implemented.

Thanks, for the info.

You can deso-bomb buildings, by making a transport move to a building, unload, deploy passangers, have them move to a different building or guard area for a few seconds then undeploy and deploy again to increase radiation levels.

If only I can desobomb tanks.

[[CC] RaVaGe]

Not possible to target unit types specifically otherwise I could make a godlike Ai that doesn't have to cheat to be better.

Ran a quick AI 1v1 to see how it went on the lastest build, Seems like they are running out of money before T3 at 7min mark doesn't look good to me. Nvm of the animation differences, i just didnt bother to delete my artini

How did you record it? AMD's relive doesn't seem to work full screen.

[Toveena]

Windows mode with Bandicam 

[TK3600]

New patch:

1. Decreased sentry gun and pillbox threat to 20 so they are not prioritized in attack over grizzly tanks.

2. Aegis cruiser default to guard area, helps AI focus.

3. Larger terror drone attack by Soviet.

4. Soviet tank attacks are followed up by terror drones.

5. Submarine guards area by default, helps AI defend shipyard.

6. Slave miner threat increased to let AI focus it over slaves.

7. AI use larger dolphin rush vs ship yards. Guaranteed frustration!

8. AI respond to attacks faster, apparently there was a delay coded.

9. AI use the V3 rocket from crates now.

10. Easy AI no longer us dolphin rush.

11. Dreadnought and carrier use 25 guard range instead of 20, which I wrote by mistake.

13. AI respond to carrier with robot tanks attack.

14. AI now send prism tanks via transport on naval maps. May be slightly buggy.

15. Easy AI Allied may have 2 groups of air strikes.

19. New and improved naval scripts for fleet battle.

20. AI now regroup slightly closer to enemy to fix bugs like stucks and iron curtain running out by the time they reach base.

21. Experimental feature, grizzly tanks respond to enemy automatically within 20 grids. Same mechanic as dog chasing spies. If it turns out glitchy I will remove it.

22. Desolator available in crates.

23. Fixed sniper script, which I broke by mistake.

24. AI use dogs to contest for oil derick control.

25. Buffed tech outpost missile to give enough range to kill engineer before it capture it.

26. Libyan could use iron curtain to rush 3 demo truck at once.

27. Soviet use smaller submarine attack on easy.

28. Deployed siege chopper has same HP as flying. I made it consistent.

29. Soviet use larger attack when fully set up (owning battle lab).

30. Allied use bigger tank attack when fully set up (owning ore processor).

31. Yuri now use its attack submarines as missile submarine when there are no more enemies.

I will update less frequently now life becomes busy. Probably in a biweekly schedule instead of every week.

Please, please, please pu this mod on cncnet. I would love to play this with a friend.

[wombat1501]

Can you use this mod with YR Apocalypse mod?   Thanks

[[CC] RaVaGe]

@TK3600 Can  you tell me how  to 'convince' the AI to build naval teams, they make naval yards, but takes them like 30 minutes to actually make a naval team, even with naval teams set to high priority.
