I might not seem to bright right now, but what I can gather from this discussion, it's seems like you guys don't know that you already can give resourses to your allies! Or am I just plain stupid?

You realize you can pay tribute to human allies already? Hit the tab key while in a network game.

Yes I know... But this would be a more graphical way

Oh...DARN! Missed those!

So, would there be any scripting in the AI for your ally to give you resources?

[Rhodin]

Well...have you seen how the AI hadles their finances? Not very well I can tell you that, they have like...at the most 4000, most of the time only a few hundred. They use ALL resourses for spurting out soldiers. So I can't really see the point in working on that so that you'll get like...50 resources from the AI every 20 minutes. I'm sorry, I can't...I just CANNOT DO IT!

You're joking, right? There have been multiple times when I've finished a skirmish only to find out that the enemy (and/or allies) ended up with almost twice the resources I had (mostly because mine were spent building a massive base and army.) Then again, I camp when I can as opposed to rushing.

I've only ever seen a few thousand at one time when looking at it in game. So it's really wierd. Still, I don't get why you would want money from your allies, after a while into every skirmish, I've got over a 100.000 every time!

Mney is really no problem up tonow but it cold be in the new beta?For example that dwarfen riches ting is limited in time,isnt t?

[Sûlherokhh]

Believe me. Money is only ever a problem for the AI, as the AI spends it's money as soon as it can. As a player you just have to concentrate for a moment on troops positioning, a creep or another small battle, pop, you look at your account and you find you suddenly have a lot of cash! Time flies.

The AI efficiency is offset by the players non-random build choices. The AI just picks one path of buildorders right from the start and sticks to it. If you ever find out, which possible paths there are, you'll be able to recognize which one they took after about 5 minutes and predict what it's gonna build and when pretty easily.

Lol did you just ruin the gaming experience with an AI player for me Sûlherokh?

Just kidding

Still I think the main reason why we should have such a system is not to get money from your allies, but to have more "interaction" with your allies then only on the field of battle.

Easy for you to say, you coded it.
