We would be so lucky :sad:

AI dreamteam programmers would be this AI skirmish mod team + DCPro team.

Definitely a shoe-in but try to remember the last game (PC or console) that EVER shipped with remotely decent AI? I can't remember since.. oh... FOREVER! Coding is soo low down the pole methinks but I do wish I were wrong.

If anyone could totally revolutionize AI scripts and logic while at the same time drop-kicking them paid devs into a new paradigm shift on code it would be Mr. A! :sad:

DoW II Announcement:

As usual, I was going to ask you folks to link me up, but I think I found the link now that I know that I was supposed to be looking for the link:

At least they didn't announce it on April Fool's day. That would have made it hard to believe.

Hope you work a deal with Relic/THQ, Arkhan! DoW2 could really be one of the first RTSes in history with superior AI out-of-the-box but the best part of it would be that AI would FOR THE FIRST TIME get support for major AI improvements between patches. Considering major patches take between 2-4 months for Relic then AI dev would be easy to accomodate (provided the testers were up to it).

I always wanted to be a tester in a professional very organized environment, but I'd have to say good bye to my beers :rolleyes:

I'm still interested in what this means. They want you to do it, but for for free?

It was just a direct translation of a cynical slang expression meaning 'No' in german. Sorry for the confusion.
