I did a search on AE AI and did not get much
I do recall seeing a few discussions on the topic
Most notably a discussion on the problems with task groups and convoys taking absurds tracks from the U.S. to Australia that take them proximate to enemy bases
I have seen this as well
This combined with the helter skelter way in which bases are resupplied necessitates a lot of micro management

I would like to get some feedback from the developers on what their goals were for the AI and how successful or not the efforts have been

And last but not least - the "hold up" (for those that have been reading) has been that in June, we decided we had to re-write the AI processor, that has cost us several months - but we think it will be worth it. Here is the most detailed discussion of same:

Testing of the AI is an ongoing thing.

I have the version from Usual Suspects going..."Old McDonald had a gun ee i ee i o. And on that farm he shot some guys. Badda boom badda bing bang boom." [:'(]

Old MacDonald played an AE game

And in that game he had a battleship
ee ii ee ii o
The battleship went blub-glug here and blub-glub at Pearl
ee ii ee ii o

Mary was a little plane

Which is worse in my opinion [:D]

I am surprised someone hasn't posted something to the effect of "playing against the ai is like beating up your little brother, PBEM is where it's all at"
That being said....
5 gold rings... 4 calling birds...3 french hens, 2 turtle doves and a copy of AE under my christmas tree.[;)]

Because you asked.......PBEM is the only way to go........the AI is like beating up on your little brother.......no true challenge.[:'(]

I like beating up on my brother.  Not only does it make me fool better, he needs it!![:D]

not unless youre celebrating christmas in 'Q1 2009'

i suppose we could suspend it til then, just cancel Christmas til about march - itll confuse the church kids with the whole Jesus born in March and died next week thing but heyho!!!

Now that I'm approaching sixty, my 50 year-old kid brother says its time for some pay back.

Perhaps as senility sets in the AI will do that to me as well.

 Are we there yet?[;)]
