[OPINION] A.I. Pantheon

from Demigod Forums

Someone said that right now the Pnathoen players - or the bulk of Pantheon players - are A.I.s. If this is true, let me applaud the developers for providing such a welcomely entertaining set of foes. I love the difficulty. I love the fact no discernible pattern was present. This is just damn fun.

Bodes extremely well for the full game single player in every respect (skirmishes, tournaments, Pantheons, campaigns). Sorry to gush (I suppose)... this thing is just great fun.

Updating to new version.

Just hit TAB and anyone with a ping of 0 is AI.  Out of all the Pantheon games I've run I've only had a human in my game one time.  At release we'll see at least two humans in any Pantheon game.

Glad you like it!  Enjoy it while you can though, in the released version, you won't get all bots like you currently do.  We currently force in bots in order to test out the back-end infrastructure.

The single player AI in the final game will be even better. Beta 3C does not have the updated AI we have internally and it's been really fun watching them progress. I think the biggest thing I've noticed is that now the AI seems to be aware of other Demigods on its teams and use them more as a team rather than as individual bots that don't know what the others are doing.

That said, I wish there were more difficulty levels.

Maybe further difficulty levels and additional A.I. routines could be added later? Patterns of behaviour are good as long as you vary them up. Keep A.I. fresh rather than hard-as-nails, necessarily.

I dunno, the AI still gets stomped by me every single game... it's easy to bait into a trap as frost TB, and it almost always works. Not that I hate AIs, I just wish they'd maybe even cheat to be more formidable.
