Re: [Audyssey] castaway suggestions
You might be on the right track with that idea. I'll admit, while searching for the solution to these priority problems, I've been pretty much ignoring any solutions that would require me to totally overhaul the existing AI. I think many of us remember back to when the alternative jobs were first coded in haha! The original AI was designed very well for what it was intended for, but because it wasn't part of the original design, the idea of secondary jobs had to be patched in in a somewhat sloppy manner. I've gone through it several times to clean things up, but it will never run as nicely as it did when it was following the initial design. In that same way, if I have to fundamentally change the AI again, it would require another sloppy patch job that would end up introducing about a hundred bugs I'd need to fix. I'm avoid that if at all possible. > I imagine it's quite hard for the AI > to know what should be prioritised at different times of the > game. Every1 plays differently.

Re: [Audyssey] castaway suggestions
I imagine it's quite hard for the AI to know what should be prioritised at different times of the game. Every1 plays differently. So I think if we have the ability to manually set a building on the map as their priority to give supply of resources to might work better. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: "Jeremy Kaldobsky" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Friday, August 26, 2011 1:45 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] castaway suggestions That's a pretty good idea, but for the short term I'll just make it easier. If I get around to adding more missions, it does seem like a good idea to insert them between the current missions 2 and 3, and then put mission 3 back to being the original difficulty. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to handle the priority settings for the AI. I've tried a few different methods, but so far I haven't been happy with any of them. There is a big jump in difficulty from mission 2 to 3. Instead of making it easier, how about adding 1 or 2 new missions in between and make this a later mission? Maybe something to get them more prepared is a mission which they have to launch an attack with 5 knights, 5 rangers, 5 pikemen and 5 cavalrys? This is like having to wipe out a more powerful enemy force than mission 2. Not sure if you got my suggestion on setting certain buildings to high priority with backspace instead of just open or close. This way is easier to tell the workers to supply resources or work on a particular building. Sometimes i have to close 4 or 5 other buildings for peasants to work on the 1 i need. 锦发/Steady Goh --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] castaway suggestions
Something that makes it particularly tough for me is that the enemy deliberately seeks out new building projects and destroys them. They will change direction and move horizontally towards a new bit of wall rather than continue towards the rest of my settlement.

Re: [Audyssey] castaway suggestions
Good point Brice. Depending on the playing style and strategy of the individual players, missions that are hard for some people would be simple for others, and the other way around as well. This game allows for such differing strategies, there is really no way for me to really know how easy or hard a mission will be for everyone. > To be honest I thaught mission 2 was > harder then mission 3, because trying to keep the enemy at > bay while fighting off goblins and building stuff all at the > same time is hard to do when your guys only work so fast. > And then to have the Yetti's come down from the mountain and > star killing in injuring all your people really makes it > tough. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
