AI "personalities?"

Hmm, maybe AI could be granted internet access and start posting tips and taunts in these forums ...

LOL that would be fun. Im almost tempted to do that. Maybe when the game is released just to answer questions from newbies. Kristoffer should do that. RPG the AI.

Ive actually written posting bots to serve as help people in IRC, MUDs, Customer Support chats, etc. But those were to avoid drudgery and FAQ. Actually playing the part of "the AI" could be more fun here.

Well if the AI from Dominions_2 would post tips on the forum it would say stuff like:
1} Don't pay attention to food supplies it doesn't do anything.
2} Expect troops to get diseased it's just a random factor which seems to happen when many troops are gathered in a province. Nothing can be done about this.
3} Send your pretender into the death match at all times... I'm sure this time it will work.
4} Don't summon the elemental royalty commanders such as the air queens and fire kings... it's better to use the gems to power up weaker mages.
5} Never cast ghost riders, flames from the sky, and send horror... I'm not sure what these do thus don't use them.
6} Don't waste time building SCs... makes the game more challenging.
7} Never build labs or castles... I have a personal phobia about these two buildings!
8} And finally no matter what stage of the game make sure to summon lots of cave drakes, fire drakes and ice drakes... because they look kool.

Heehee. I guess thats true. Shouldnt necessairly trust "tips" from the AI

It would be terrific to have a AI bot answering questions. One never knows, perhaps it wouldn't be a bot at all, like in that song where the bot turns out to be a hot blonde...

Well, it would make moderating these forums much more interesting, thats for sure.

Can't listen to it at work, but I assume it is Europop! Looking forward to hearing it tonight

Nice of Annette to make a cameo appearance for them there.
