Trolled by Friendly AI Urg?

I was playing with my friend in an online match, 3v3. Our ally was a hard AI and started wrecking the enemy forces. We loved having him around, that is until he trolled us. He put 3 Halleys on my moon (where my main base and commander were) and launched it at my friend's base (where his commander was). The planetary annihilation destroyed my friend and I, and Urg went on to win the match. Is this some sort of glitch, or some new, human-like AI that we will all have to worry about? Either way, was the funniest thing i have seen on this game yet. Anyone else have this "problem?"

welcome to the forum

The AI doesn't really know that it has allies currently. It isn't the best teammate

Edit: were your enemies on the smallest planet in the system?

This makes me kind of afraid of getting superweapons and subcommanders in Galactic War.

LOL, well this happened to me with a human allied player... ^^

not really a glitch, just incomplete AI.

We just have to trust sorian to put anti-skynet code in.

You mean it isn't a feature of this AI for it to betray you? because I mean I think that makes it a very effective AI

sorian strikes again!

The AI isn't kitted out to fully understand the importance of commanders IIRC, including it's own, and while the alliances mechanic IS implemented, the AI doesn't 100% have the skills to act in a team yet. For now you have an allied AI that thinks it's alone.

Well that's what I remember anyway, but I'm sure if it's untrue someone will come around to correct me.

Too late on my end...

*Oh, And it will probably be fixed in the near future... To be even more likely to betray you!

Yes, we are all waiting till it becomes self-aware. ^^

No, they were on the largest.

We were making fun of Urg's name in the chat... that might have motivated him.

Well i do think that the AI knows the concept of Allies. because i had a base, and the AI actually came and build defences and protected a few open flanks to my base.

I thought that was pretty damn neat.

Yup, then you were trolled

They AI tends to be a bit single-minded currently, so once it starts a task, it feels it must finish it, even if finishing it would be detrimental to it's own allies.

"Oops, forgot to carry the one!" cliche?
