Hey all,
I am in the process of drafting AI scripts for both Skirmish, Multiplayer and Gameplay. I was wondering how hard you actually would like the AI to be? I can make them really agro and apocolyptical in defence, basebuilding and assault, or just harder than a brutal C&C Generals enemy.
Mod Members, PM me so the public dont see the difficulty level ^^, otherwise, public members, feel free to post your own reccomendations as they are always welcome.
Just give me a yell because by trade, my mods are always HARD mods ^^
Cheers,

Well, there are 3 difficulty levels... So you could make the Brutal one really hard then scale the medium and easy ones down a bit (so I might be able to beat them 
)
)

keep in mind that the mod should stay playable for all ppl who download it, n00bs and guys who have no experience with RTS games included
Don't make the easy level too easy and the brutal one too hard

Easy for N00bs
Medium for the casual gamers
Hard for the RTS veterans (build A LOT of units and throw them at you)

Moderate - Challenging but not indestructable.

Now that I have to see 
I Have returned from the belly of the beast and am back to wreak havoc
Anyway, back on topic, If you made the easy AI slightly harder than it is in generals at the mo then make the medium about the same as generals' hard, then make the hard level so hard you sweat your nuts off worrying about how your going to survive the next attack, real 40k style

agreed
the easy AI in generals had absolutely no point...
it was too easy for somebody who had one arm (they're right handed and they only have a left), was blind, deaf, dumb and shizophrenic, oh, and had never played a video game ever in his life...
THAT is how easy the easy AI is...
it sends maybe a few soldiers and a tank.. then 30 mins later, a rocket guy and a hummer... that's about it...

Hey all.
Ill see what I can do. This is my proposal:
Easy: AI in C&C Generals standard (for absolute NooBs)
Medium: Custom (combination of defensive and offensive, not too hard)
Hard: HARD
Brutal: You'll wish you were dead.....
Ive left out the major details so the public dont get a great idea of whats coming up. Sam, you're a laugh, and I love your work btw, you're a champion!!!
Oh and btw semagae, the formation control isnt defined by AI at all, the route that units follow as far as I know is set by pathfinding. If you would like your units in game to stay in their current formation, select all the unit (preferrably in a select box rather that SHIFT+Left Mouse Click) and hold down CTRL+F and they stay in that formation unless you toggle it off by doing the same ^^.
Cheers all, back to work (on the AI) for me tonight!!!! ^^

Make the Brutal AI goes mental, allow it too cheat, ensure it has unlimited resources and such, that way your gauranteed a good fight.

Corrupt program now requires constant reboots and does not function at all in majority of instances. Designed with a web browser component to replace AOL, it has exceeded our expectations by being more crashy and unreliable and with worse tech support. We didn't think it was physically possible! A general product recall is advised; when it does function it seems to require background processes Girl 0.1Beta to stave off further crashes. Will someone PLEASE remove that code, and insert Backbone 1.9 in its place? That's assuming we even bother to continue this prog.
