Dominions III Artificial Intelligence

[Arralen]

@curt : As I said above ...

@Johan K. : What do you think about releasing info 'bout the file formats to the public ?
And what about releasing the info to trustworthy members of the community only, who are willing to sign a NDA ?

At the risk of being unpopular, there won't being any support for programming your own AI in Dominions III. It would be much work to do and believe almost no one would take advantage of that possibility anyway.

I just wanted to point out that entire communities have evolved around games with AI scripting. I am a member of one such community:
http://aiscripters.com/

Please don't take this as meaning that I don't appreciate dominions in it's current state, I just look at AI scripting/modification being included as an opportunity to erase every other game from my hard drive. I think there are plenty of people who would take advantage of this feature if it were available.

Interesting. I joined a number of map-making communities back when I was working on turning the Dom2 maps into semi-AI variations. None of them proved helpful.

Lets hope that the Dom3 AI has some improvements.
