It is still a bit of a strange mix of having some super-human strengths combined with some sub-human weaknesses, but it’s amazing how it really does seem to have a personality, and it’s a really great AI to play with and against for people around its level (around champ 1 rank).
Then a breakthrough was achieved that made machine learning viable, and a ML AI called Necto was produced by the community that is more human-like than any previous AI. This has been easy to see in Rocket League, where only hand crafted AIs were available until recently, and none of them played anything like a human. Machine learning is good for making AIs more human-like, as it has some similarities with how humans learn. What do you not like on the AI? What do you think they should improve to make it more fun playing against the AI?įor me the smartness is not as important as an AI with character that it is fun to play against. Otherwise it is not fun to play against the AI. Please developers work on these points with the AI. In an other blog post I also wrote about the importance of a more lively AI: Please give AI more life In addition there was always an animation of the opponent moving.įor casual players it would be very important to have a more lively AI. During attacks, before defeats, during setbacks, during victories, when danger was imminent and in other situations it announced itself. There I played almost exclusively against the AI. For example, you could have Genghis Khan as an opponent for the Mongols, Joan of Arc for the French and so on.Įven better in terms of liveliness would be an AI like in Stronghold. The AI should be more alive like in AOE3. Napoleon for example was a very aggressive opponent (my favorite opponent ). Depending on the opponent they also behaved differently. They also reacted to taunts and a picture was displayed. In AOE3 for example you played against Napoleon or Elizabeth.
By lively I mean you are not playing against someone but against a faceless civilization. This should definitely be fixed soon.Īnother (for me bigger) reason why I don’t play against AI is because it’s not lively enough. This make royal rumble unplayable against the AI in my opinion. Very stupid: The AI attacks in royal rumble with their king in the first minutes.Since there are no taunts or the like, you don’t get an answer if it responds. Often the AI does not respond to calls for attack or support.For example it sometimes destroys wall sections even though there are already sections in the walls that are destroyed. The AI often attacks buildings that are not match decisive.Such a small army can be easily defeated. Later in the game the AI still attacks with small groups of units instead of gathering a large army.
Due to the numerous nerfing of stone walls and since they are generally weak this can probably be classified as intelligent at the moment. Some example on not intelligent behavior of the AI: However, in AOE4 the AI sometimes doesn’t behave very intelligently and is not lively enough. For example in AOE3 I played mostly with friends against the AI. Actually I would like to play alone and with friends against the AI.
