Merciless Klingon AI (for the stock game)

(4 votes)

Freyr, 2010-02-07

This new Merciless AI replaces the Klingon Hard AI build list, and also contains a new set of personality parameters for the hardest difficulty level AI. (either Merciless, or Hard depending on which mod you have installed)

The build list makes the Klingon AI a lot more dangerous in it's own right on the hardest difficulty level in an Instant Action/ skirmish game, but the real development here is the new personality. The hardest difficulty level AI will now act more intelligently with fleet deployments on both the offensive and defensive.

This has been available in a thread on the forums since November, but I thought a larger audience might like a crack at the current state-of-the-art in Armada AI's.

Merciless Klingon AI, Version 1

Thank you for downloading this and for taking the time to read the readme file. This mod includes a new AI that makes the Klingon Hard AI... hard.

Because this makes changes to the .AIP files this is not compatible with version 1.1 for multiplayer games.

The reasons for this are fairly simple

1) We want to know where our files are being downloaded from!

2) Some sites have terms of service that are unacceptable and we don't wish to be subject to them.

3) We would prefer only having a couple of download mirrors because its considerably easier to update a smaller number of mirrors.
