Grigsby describes the AI as “…a bunch of kludges used to make something that’s really stupid look not quite so stupid.” The AI, in practice, was way better and smarter than just “…not so stupid…”
The development of Steel Panthers was marred by “a considerable amount of tension” and “bad karma” between SSI executives and Grigsby and Brors. The main point of contention was that the company wanted Grigsby to simplify his design, to be more in line with Panzer General, which would reach a much wider audience. Grigsby simply “refused to compromise his standards of realism and detail.”
