[quote who="Hellions" reply="118" id="3470819"]Although it's a rare occurrence, I've seen the AI cast Escape several times. Of course, it didn't prevent me from attacking again on the following turn since it doesn't seem to have mastered the concept of fleeing on the strategic map. [/quote] Hmm really thats interesting. I've never seen it, and it has an AIPriority of zero so I assumed it never happens.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="110" id="3470706"]Ok. Second 8 hours begins now![/quote] Awesome. Another ability/spell that it would be great if the Ai would use (in addition to Blink, other spells target an empty tile) : Escape. Also pls see reply 101 above (getting the resource upgrades working for AI) and reply 105 above (getting strategic ValueCalcWrappers working). If you can get any of that done that would be brilliant. Personally i&#

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="95" id="3469842"] Quoting Primal_Savage, reply 88Does that also fixes other upgrade lines? Altar-Shrine-Temple Quarry-Mine-Trove Mine-Smelter-Foundry-IronWorks AI will only build the bolded ones unless the resource/shard is within city walls. This would explain a lot. I was wondering about this. [/quote] @Frogboy - can you manage to squeeze this into 1.7 also?
I don't normally like to post stuff until i'm sure it will see the light of day, but here's a sneak preview of what I hope will be in the next release... The fearsome (yet be be named) beach ball demon.... Some new races/factions... wip halbadier
Hi Kellhound_AU, glad you like it. Thanks for the heads up on the links i've just fixed them. There will not be a compatibility update for 1.5 / 1.6. There might be a few issues but I believe it all still works for the most part. Instead of a minor update I'm hoping/planning to release a major update, pretty much a D&W 2.0. It will still have all the summoning in the current version, but will add another new path (probably two), a heap
[quote]I'm willing to make you guys a Spell pack DLC for tactical battles and code the necessary AI to use them.

So something like Mirror Image would meet that criteria and

[quote who="Alstein" reply="40" id="3468559"]Also- Squad Size, I don't think that needs to be buffed at all. I already think it's often better to increase the size of units than to upgrade weaponry, and it would nerf melee heros more (which is a problem currently).

[quote who="nikolaypavlov" reply="106" id="3467578"]No ships. It is ridiculous that sea is not accessible. No flying / cloudwalking (MOM). Only the Air elementals can fly, and that is all there is to flying in the game.[/quote] I think these would be at the top of my list also. And the fact that the AI doesn't use some spells.
Good luck Soren, Mohawk & Stardock.. sounds interesting hope it's a great success.

An AI could really screw themselves over with that. As long as ValueCalcWrapper for Strategic Spells gets activated, it shouldn't be a problem. Plus, I'd rather they activate the possibility of doing something even if it needs to be disabled through some

[quote who="Primal_Savage" reply="214" id="3466966"]- The spell will not / should not work for human players;[/quote] Just had a look at your code for this, curious to see what you did. What would stop a human player from casting Spell_X_ArcaneMonolith ? I don't think it would matter if they did but just can't see anything that would prevent it.

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="15" id="3466719"]Abob101 mentioned allowing the AI to cast spells that target land. Birth of Summer in particular would help the AI a lot [/quote] Yep good point. I think Consume might be another one, fairly sure the AI doesn't use that. If that's the case that's another great example of a faction missing out on a key part of their strategy.
