AI for Yuri

Can someone post up a really good aimd.ini file for an unmodded Yuri's Revenge. Really hard like Deevious AI from Deezire or sommat like that.

No one will post up a really hard AI AFAIK because each person has their own unique strategy and therefore have their own weaknesses to beef up on the AI. A generally hard AI is neigh impossible and most likely won't be found.

If I'm wrong and someone posts an AI, you may call me a liar. #Tongue

Or you can try and google one.

I would post one, if I didn't add units to my mod #Tongue

And I dunno how hard Deevious AI is. I never tried it...

A rulesmd.ini edit is required as well and making a decent AI takes time, effort and a lot of testing.

^So true... I'm working on my private mod more then a year now, and I'm still testing and improving the AI #Tongue

default aimd.ini file size = 135 kb

my mod aimd.ini file size = 554 kb and its customised for my mod.

Meh, I haven't even doubled the size yet... But it ain't done yet Wink

You know with rules editing alone you can make the AI produce more than most mods AIs, even RS 1.99. And it only uses one war factory. #Tongue

Let the AI build copies of units which have a BuildTimeMultiplier eh? Or a different way...

No copies, no editing units etc. Skillz. #Tongue

If you are going to modify the aimd.ini file to make a more challenging AI you will have to edit certain sections of the rulesmd file to make it use those new tactics efficiently. These rules optimizations have their own special place and is somewhat easily found but you are not limited to that. if the new AI depletes yours and its resources to quickly early in the game and then the rest draws to a craw you may have to tinker with the economy.

And lemme guess: it's something special and you ain't going to share the secret... Or will you?

OmegaBolt · Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2008 6:16 pm Post subject:

It's not a secret, you just havent found the right combination of tag changes yet. Or the same one I have. I can't tell you a formula, because I don't have one and I'm not copying half of the ini anywhere.

there are more tags at the top like the virtual AI ore purifier and the tweaks for easy/med/hard AI buildspeed.

I have changed those already #Tongue

Also, I'm looking at the rulesmd.ini atm... What does "BuildSlowdown=yes" mean in the AI difficulty part? I mean, I know what it means, but what is the result if you disable this? Will the AI build his base just as fast as in TS (aka you have radar, they have tech center, even if you build really fast)?

Apex · Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2008 12:03 pm Post subject:

I think that makes it follow how big your base is. With it off the AI built up a pretty big base.

Isn't that a contradiction though?

Aside from creating an AI like that, using preset flags and switches, is it possible to write AI scripts, possibly using an if/then format? (sorry for possible idiocy, but the entiority of my AI experience is limited to staffing for text based games Very Happy
