    The focus target is the army the AI is focusing its attacks against. I could add a FocusTargetThreatRatio maybe, if that would help.

    [Edit]
    Also, HaveFullPlanetIntel might be what you are after for one of your other points. It checks to see if the AI has had intel on all metal points on the planet within a reasonable amount of time, based on the size of the planet. So, as long as the AI has intel, or has had intel within the last x amount of time on all metal spots, this would return true.

    More AI Unit Cannon work. Getting excited for this. Can you tell?

    I'm really interested in how you want the AI to use the unitcannon. Cool stuff sorian!

    yeah :D

    Is an army a player/team or a unit grouping within an area? I'm assuming the latter given that the AI will send out multiple forces of varying sizes to different map areas.

    Platoons have proven to be the trickiest to do anything with because the check uses an absolute value, and I haven't found any way to get any meaning from the value (because I assume it ties into neural net numbers).

    Well now I'm really intrigued. I'll have to play with that check :)

    Given that higher levels focus on the weakest player that check probably isn't useful for FFAs as it's the biggest threat to the AI you want to know about i.e. can I tech or will that result in me getting crushed

    True, so maybe a PlanetHighestEnemyThreat might be in order.

    Something like this:



    Still a work in progress, of course.

    Hope you can train the AI to break into locked down planets by dropping a nuke (or four) and then firing it's unit cannons into into the blast zone. If launched from the same planet I find a delay of about 5 to 6 seconds is perfect, but I suppose the AI may have a transit time check for interplantary travel.

    Good to see the AI actually learning how to play on multiple planets past just lobbing nukes.

    So excited to see Sorian is developing the AI for this game. Recently just started playing it and was actually looking for something like the Sorian AI mod in SupCom, and here I am.

    The AI does seem to perform very well on the planet you spawn on but has a lot of difficulty getting a foothold on locked down planets. Would definitely like to see the unit cannon used in conjunction with some nukes, orbital fighters and some orbital fabs to immediately start on a beachhead on some planets. I know I like to throw down some anchors, immediate nuke protection and a portal to begin with if I am landing on a hostile planet, after a good nuking of course. Then it is either a unit rush, or a turtle to hold my portal.

    Looking forward to your updates Sorian, and playing against your AI :)

    Is Deep Space Radar increasing the OrbitalThreat? I saw one AI build an Umbrella (which it only does when OrbitalThreat > 0) but all its opponent had was a Deep Space Radar.

    What exactly is your Queller AI? Is it a personality of Sorian's AI? A spin off?

    I believe @Quitch's Queller AI mod tweaks Sorian's AI for the 1v1 game, tries to make it a bit more realistic relative to competitive play (e.g. opening builds). I still haven't tried it yet but it is apparently quite good. Still needs an eco boost to match a good player, but that's about right considering the complexities of AI.

    So my guess is this means I can check which personality is in use using true/false checks? If I'm guessing right that is bloody awesome. All sorts of helpful hints could be given to the AI that way, for example the FFA personality.

    It's a replacement AI brain. Changes what the AI builds, when, what the composition of its armies looks like, etc.

    Bingo! Couple that with the fact that the AI will load all json files in its data directories, including in sub directories (ie content/ai/fabber_builds/ffa_ai), and you could do all sorts of stuff.
