    can the AI handle units that just magically spawn? If this were easy I am sure it would be in the game already.

    If you take control of the AI he tries sending orders to new units that are spawned in. Factory and otherwise. In fact struggles with you over the commands too.

    You mean humans in general right? A lot more people would benefit from the logical nature of programming than just gamers.

    How to spot a non-math student: Say you can differentiate. Check if they're impressed.

    Yeah I won.:D

    But what about a IT or computer science student?

    Also still looking for my hex editor. Now where did I place that?

    The only thing I can do is differ - what does that make me?

    s just more, going through what everything did before. Every command must therefore be commanded. This can be shortened if the computer can assume all the orders, which i assume they can. This simplifies things- I suppose.

    Isn't that the most introductary level thing you learn in calculus, that is almost as easy as regular math? That thing, where you take x^2 and find it's sub-factor is 2x? Or, if its (x^2)+4x then its 2x+2... idk about that last one, it has been 5 years to be honest. Man I am getting old. A quick google which I won't do, and I would probably be just as good...

    ...the point is, it's calculus, but is easy enough for a 5th grader to do.

    Yes.

    Also x^2+4x is 2x+4.

    Lol, ask @cola_colin about my edit, but I second guessed myself and changed it from x^2+2x to x^2+4x. Given that change I made, the first guess was right derp.

    1. Enable Puppetmaster mod
    2. Create game lobby
    3. Enter spectator slot
    4. Add as many AI players as you wish on team or FFA
    5. Watch them duke it out and intervene where you see fit
    6. Enjoy your new god status
    7. Observe the AI's ability to handle magically-appearing units

    ok I see.

    but the current news we have is that it handles it badly?
