[Question to the Devs] How does the AI ...

[Arralen]

1) Lets say the Ai has several Death-1 mages, Conjuration-2 (Dark Knowledge) available but no death gem income.
Will it
a) send those mages to search for sites (what doesn't make sooo much sense with lvl-1)
b)alchemize other gems into death gems to cast the spell?


2a)
How does the AI decide if/which mages are send into battle?
b)
How does the AI distribute troops (escp. summoned ones) to it's commanders?

From this point on it might be hard to get answers like this. I know that for me my wife makes a joke about "download, upload money management" to make sure Im in the right mode of thinking to ask me a question. Then when she is done she says "reboot". I complained because she used to be half-way thru a question before I was fully listening, and it took me so long to get back to what I was doing.

Anyway, what I mean is that Johan might have to work at remembering what Dom2 does in its AI if he has already made lots of changes in the way Dom3 does it. "download, upload, reboot". (at least, many of us are hopeful that there is a big difference) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I have no idea, but I suppose it isn't too clever on any of these.

I think it sends mages out to search on a random basis making it more likely if they have many death mages.

I believe it doesn't alchemize to cast spells.

2a and 2b also random I would guess. One type at a time.

I am probably a random distributor myself. How would you distribute them?
