Reply to AI & Wild Improvements? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="Nightmurderer03" reply="2" id="3488110"] i've seen the custom shards in d&w but never the upgrades. [/quote] Come to think of it, I don't think I've EVER seen the AI upgrade shards altars to shrines, or temples. Ever, ever.

Reply to AI & Wild Improvements? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Not positive about upgrading iron mines to foundries and above, but I am fairly certain I have seen them do it. AI builds on wild ogres, order of asok, mercenary camps, etc all the time.

Reply to Ability that activates when target is below % health? in LH Modding Elemental Forums

[quote who="Rynas" reply="4" id="3486563"] Without Death Blow (took Break instead): 6, 9 With Death Blow: 8, 6: With Death Blow, opponent with 17/17 health: 43 It's pretty clear to me that Death Blow applies to max health only. [/quote] Thanks for sharing your test. Sure sounds like you're right.

[quote who="Rynas" reply="2" id="3486463"] Thanks - actually DeathBlow activates based on max health. [/quote] Not positive, but I think it is current HP. Test it if you can. I'll report what I see if I get a chance to test out. Also check out the "Rage" ability, it has a tag that checks for percentage hit points (not sure if this will work as a comparative).

Reply to Stardock can you please address this... in LH Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="Alandroid" reply="5" id="3486396"] Calling it a game design flaw may have been over the top but it still feels like something that can be exploited and can be fairly easily fixed. [/quote] I think (can't be certain) that Derek likes it that way, and doesn't see it as broken. There's a lot to discover in this game. I'd say keep playing and feeling it out - you are observant to see the potential of those abilities. But there's more

Reply to Stardock can you please address this... in LH Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="Alandroid" reply="3" id="3486240"] Now with cleave my hero can hit him for 20 points of damage cause it will become all physical damage when using an ability. [/quote] True, nice little workaround. Only works for one attack, then you have to deal with his fire resistance again. If you're playing on expert or higher, an extra 8 points of damage hardly ends the battle. The scenario where you swap to a cold axe might still kill fire resist

[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="28" id="3485482"] See the movie "I, Robot" to explore just how a 'smart' AI could use the three laws to imprison us. They are a great start, but more is needed. [/quote] I'd recommend the short story collection the movie is (barely) based on. Ends with much, much greater insight into the long-term consequences of a superior intelligence dealing with the shackles of the 3 laws. Profound and disturbing.

Reply to New IBM supercomputing chip SyNAPSE–low powered human brain emulation in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="12" id="3485314"] Perhaps what really is needed is "The Three Laws of Robotics" (a.k.a. Asimov's Laws): A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="5" id="3485030"] I think without fearmongering that there are issues tied into AI, questions which are very significant regarding how computers do things with a rather single mindedness that need to be considered. [/quote] Yes! Safeguard One: Do not give an AI access to any centralized military command system, ESPECIALLY one that might have access to nuclear warheads. Safeguard Two: Don't connect an AI to the inter
