AI Problems

[Ishmaru]

Hello am currently makeing a mod and i noticed that for some reason the ai does not build units anymore. It does utilize units it currently has so its not completly dead. Is there any reason for this or a way to modify ai?

Thankyou

Hmm, I had that problem too for some reason, still looking for the reason myself. Just a wild, and worthless guess probably, but maybe it has something to do with the order of commands/skills of the units. I have no idea if that has any influence in glest, but it wouldn't be the first engine to have that 'problem'.
Sounds foolish I know, but it might help

wciow and I are working on a mod extending upon the existing Magitech tree.  I haven't done extensive testing with it yet, but I did notice that they started to build a second summoner's guild instead of building a necromancer tower.  I think this deserves more investigation and should possibly be posted under the bugs forum.

We tried to make the AI as generic as possible, however it can not adapt to all possible tech trees. Building an AI for this type of games is a major task especially when you don't know what kind of units it is going to have. I think this is a minor problem now that we have multiplayer support. So you can still play your mods against other human players.

Thanks to all the info helped.

Hurray for multiplayer support!!  AI is definitely a tricky thing.  It's one area I have yet to do much work in.

Could there possibly be a place in the xml for a specific faction to tell the AI to build X instead of Y?
