Immortal v0.10c

[jicam96670]

I know this is outside of the AI use case, but im running your AI through the campaign(using the load custom scenario) and the AI is very confused and runs back and forth left to right and many other strange behaviour, Any chance you'd guess to what could be causing issues so that i might be able to work them out?

I would assume if its a B&D scenario Immortal might work, if the AI has to do special objectives or command special units, I would imagine it not to work. Also it says supported Settings are "Starting age: Dark or Imp with High res", so that might not be the case in several scenarios and I'm not sure how Immortal does handle that.
If you mean by working out issues to adapt Immortal that is probably decently close to impossible, if you look into the code.

Ofc Immortal can't complete specific objectives, but many of them can be ignored as long as you defeat the enemy. It can use special units like hero units, but also have problems with others mostly that it will not attack enemies and just that on hold. but it will move them around(sort of).
Even on campaign maps that you either start with no base but villegers like nomad, or at castle/Imperial Age it strugglers. Biggest problem is Immortal becomes very indecisive, for example which enemy to attack, wont try to defend its base, it won't activily try to defeat enemies, and it takes running the game at x5 speed and waiting very long until eventually it has destroyed enough enemy economy and buildings. Immortal is almost hard focued on reaching the left and right edges of the map and will ignore anything in its way. Enemy walls also confised immortal and it will try to attack the tower behind walls with melee units and die.

But i guess for an AI to work with campaign maps it would have to be tailored made for that purpose from the ground up.

I would agree that Immortal can take long to push the enemy decisively and runs its army around the map. At least that has been an issue in the past.
On the other hand it did very well in the recently played free for all tourney games by Leif. Went for the strongest opponents and crippled them without getting stuck for too long, which is an issue for many AIs.
Also its still limited regarding attacking walls iirc.
