Re: Promi 2.10
Posted: Mon Jul 26, 2021 1:34 am
Hey everyone, I have some big news to share regarding this project.
I have officially handed over all work on Promi (which is also the default AI on the Definitive Edition of the game) to Offwo, known for his work on AIs such as Ulysses. This means that I will no longer be doing updates myself but Offwo will invest a lot of time to work on it on a consistent basis and also take all of the feedback posted into consideration.
The one exception to this is the final update which I will release here after the Dawn of the Dukes expansion for DE launches, which my Promi version will still support. This version will be unique, with some last adjustments and fixes I'm still adding until then.
If there's anyone who would have liked to see further updates from me: No worries, something exciting is going to happen (at least exciting for me ).
With less time available, but as a hobby I will be creating an entirely new AoE2 AI!
Or almost entirely. It will incorporate quite a bit of the existing code of Promi to save myself time on straight forward features which are not related to a strategy (such as dark age villager micro) but I expect at least half of Promi's to not make it into the new AI or be heavily rewritten.
Why not just continue with my current Promi version? There are quite some things which I would like to change about Promi and how it's written, with Offwo taking over the work on this AI I feel that this is the best opportunity to take what I love in Promi and use it for a fresh AI which is more structured and readable.
As for how I will allocate my limited time on it: Army micro is something that I won't try to perfect until much later, I love working on the decision making part of the AI and perfecting some smaller things which are often overlooked. The current version of Promi will likely be more competitive for a couple of months at least but I'm already really looking forward to spend my hobby time on something fresh!
Now what will I name it if Promi is already taken... 11

PS: Thank you so much for the feedback everyone, I'll try to incorporate it into my new project as well as I can. Please feel free to send me suggestions, to keep this topic Promi (by Promi, I expect Offwo to create a new topic for his version) related I'll open a new topic for my new project.
