Modification of AI in next version?

Post by Longstreet_slith »

Will there be any modifications in the AI in the next version. (Hope, hope!!) I have seen some disparaging remarks in different posts about how bad the AI is in WIR. Actually, I never thought the AI was that bad playing the Russians! What have been the experiences of other folks with the AI? I know it does not do well at all as the Germans.

The AI is *bad* at playing the Soviets, and totaly incompetent at playing the Germans. I don't expect to ever see this AI play the Germans competently, but there is the possibility of making it better at playing the Soviets. Unfortunately, there is no effort underway on the AI. We're still working on bugs and balance issues (like excessive tank losses), so the next release of the game will still have the old AI. Work on the AI will be the last thing done, according to our coder.
