AI for FREE

[Deathstalker]

This is something I just whipped up quick while working on the (not quite finished yet) Nostropholo AI. They are a tough race (but no shipset, just AI files). Quick ship production, lots of defense ships and satts. Good colonizer production. Even some use of satts at warp points seen (though, this may be from destroyed sat layers).

You may change/mod these files at will, they work best with any other files being the Mephisto Mod ones, not the default (Meph just does it better it seems.) http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif


But if you do post these files with a new race just please mention my name. These files were fun to make, the only one I spent alot of time (from scatch) was the Vehicles Construct txt. Which seems to be the key to making a good AI. Without it, the AI just seems to wander and produce not a heck of a lot.

Don't mind while I borrow these for my new fleet do you. . . ?

No problem, they are 'free' after all. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif


They use DUC weapons, then move on to Gravity Weapons and then High-Energy Discharge (wave motion guns http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif) The one balance you might want to change (up to you) is the Defense Ship Alpha, has four pdc cannons normally, might want to lower these for more guns, your choice.

Hey, Steve, are you goign to help with Ratings at USy?

I noticed that the AI down below wasn't too keen to expand/explore on its own. It wasn't building any battley cruisery type ships, and wasn't exploring outsite its own systems.

Maybe I didn't it play test it for long enough.
Anyway, its in my new fleet at USy, the Vidrihne, if you'd care to download.

Yep, I will definitly be rating the AI for the various shipsets. Though I will have to abstain from marking my own, seems a little to tempting http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon12.gif. Currently I have built the AI's for: StarWars (emp 1,2,3,Rebels,), Y'Gathian FreeStates, Cephalopeia, and the soon to be released Nostropholo (prob, this weekend).

So far I have downloaded the Taera, Uce I, and Seorfleet for rating. Along with a copy of the Scrin Victory fleet I found on the PBW site (if it is diff from yours just tell me.) The faster they are available for download the faster I can rate them. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Oh yeah, about the 'Others' AI, if they are not expanding rapidly, it might be due to the missing files I didn't post. Anything that was missing (ie, Planet construct.txt etc.) was from the Mephisto Mod. Didn't want to post as they are not my AI files.

Very cool!
Keep me posted, but preferably by e-mail!!!

johnbeech@hotmail.com

You can still get all the old shipsets off my site, go to the 'completed' page, and down at the bottom is a link to the old completed page, where you can get access to all of them.

I'm working on getting the EarthAlliance, Toron, Rage, SWEMP2, SWEMP3, REBELS and several more Online becauce people have e-mailed me about them - 'working to demand'.

[Markavian]

Still waiting for info on them. . .
