What's the difficulty of creating new AI scenarios?

This exciting new release is a faithful adaptation of the renowned Conflict of Heroes board game that won the Origins Historical Game of the Year, Charles Roberts Wargame of the Year and the James F. Dunnigan Design Elegance Award, as well as many others!

Designed and developed in cooperation with Uwe Eickert, the original designer of Conflict of Heroes, and Western Civlization Software, the award-winning computer wargame studio, no effort has been spared to bring the outstanding Conflict of Heroes gameplay to the computer. Conflict of Heroes includes an AI opponent as well as full multiplayer support with an integrated forum and game lobby. To remain true to the core gameplay of the board game, the PC version is designed to be fun, fast and easy to play, though hard to master. The game design is also historically accurate and teaches and rewards platoon and company-level combined arms tactics without overwhelming the player with rules.

What's the difficulty of creating new AI scenarios?

Post by smittyohio90 »

What's the general consensus on how difficult it is to create new scenarios that play decently from the AI standpoint? I'm not so worried about map creation and such, but play balance and challenge. Does the AI get scripting, or does it just use general algorithms to figure out what to do? Also, does the AI handle point-buy scenarios ok?

I've been experimenting with the editor since last weekend and it looks very easy to put together a scenario. There are lots of AI scripts that you can choose for individual units in the editor and it's possible to create your own individual scripts as well. I haven't played with this yet but it looks fairly easy to do.

Point-buy? No idea. I haven't gotten that far yet [:D]
