Right now, the AI intelligence level is set to
Katie Perry.
Unconventional, human style responses are hardly ever implemented making the AI very predictable and boring.
For example, I take out as many GEVs with missiles as I can ASAP so they don't become immune harassers when my treads are reduced to 2 movement. To a computer, this would seem to be a wasteful use of missiles but 6 turns down the road but to me in 6 turns that there are not a gaggle of immune GEVs widdling me down more. A single GEV at turn 6 can do (6x2x⅓) 4 guaranteed damage. If you leave 4-6 of them running around while you have 2 movement, that's about 16-24 guaranteed damage.
Why not have the game upload every game played and have the AI analyze the success of each and help build us better AI in the form of updates from SJG?
It would be a very interesting experiment for sure!
