Hi lws735:
I like your AIs, but I disagree that UP "destroy the game's Design intention". I think that the game designers had liked to allow AIs with behaviors more similar to human style and with stronger performances, but they considered that there should be so many AI scripters and people should be complained with the Standard AI and others with similar performances.
For example, early attacks are the way to go in Arabia 1v1, but AIs have always had severe problems for it because attack-now and attack-groups mainly send man at arms to enemy's town center like if they were dummies, and TSA (a tool invented by the AI scripting community, and not initially considered by game designers) works a bit better in flush, but also has limitations.
So IMHO, AI scripters have two different ways to work. Design our AIs for 1.c patch (or 1.0), to allow them to work to people who doesn't know even the existence of the UP. Or design our AIs for UP/FE for people who knows and play them. Every aproach requires different codes. For example, my Crusade AI is optimized for 1.c but with a few additions to make it acceptable with UP. Although Cruzada, my next AI (I haven't started it yet
) will be designed for UP 1.3 and FE, and it won't work for 1.c, because it's too hard optimize a too big AI to UP and keep it compatible for 1.c.
P.D: I'm glad to have you here. Boss and Kung Fu are great AIs, and I was very surprised to discover so strong AIs despite to don't to be helped by a whole AI community like this. It's a true self-learning.
