Default Re: An AI question for a Dev

See the other AI thread for how to modify the matricies more quickly and easilly. Its not a perfect description, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You can have different operators for different levels of indie strength, differnt levels of richness, different whatever you think you need an opeator for.

That operator then gets applied over the others, its pretty simple and stratforward matrix algebra. The difficulty comes in chosing the right values for the operators, but that's no different than we already have I'd guess. In fact using the operators gives the user a lot more flexibility in tweeking the AI preferences as they see fit. Well thats a no brainer statement, since the user currently has no way to do this (yes yes script up a map, but we're talking about general AI now )

Racial preferences sound especially nice if there will be a possibility of selecting random AI opponents. I'm not complaining, it's just a thought.
