AI Skynet WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

What have you done to the ai? do you even know what you have done? is it self aware or what?.

Not even 15 min into a game or maybe 20 min. The freaking AI slams a moon right into by freaking commander. WHAT!!?!

I have played many games in my 30 year life, never i have played against such an insane AI. lol.

If i didn know any better, i would say that the AI isnt using the new prices. It seems to get tier 2 almost impossibly fast.

We are talking normal ai here, not hard, not insane, not skynet

Hard AI does get an economy bonus. The normal AI is playing "fair" but otherwise completely the same.

Sorian has been designing the AI to NOT cheat by default, so that doesn't seem that likely.

Skynet is being built for realz! as irl!!

Well they did hire *Sorian* to do the AI... He produced some superb (read *self aware and evil*) AIs for SupCom I believe

The AI is a core component in the game and is intended to be the main opponent for single player so it's good its challenging. The trick now will be scaling it back for normal human beings

Normally in games i prefer to play AI. but with this MONSTER they have created, i think ill stick to playing actual human!. at least they have some morality.

Yeah dont get me wrong, i normally like AI. and gripe about games that have bad ai or no ai at all. This AI is just a whole new level. it actually does want to murder you horrible. lol. i swear, in the replay it hit my commander dead center, and there i was just minding my own business.

Let this be a warning to other players

They should hire this guy to do Civilization games AI, because that has some serious issues with water combat and such.

The funny thing about his prior AI work is that in both cases he was held back. In FA he had to make do with only what modding allowed for, still made for some huge improvements thought. In SupCom2 although he had much more control being able to tinker with everything directly he didn't create the AI and was only allowed to work his magic afterwards, still once again made some incredible improvements.

This time, well, this time Sorian has full control and is making full use of it!

I definitely agree that Sorian deserves a pat on the back with the latest AI update. My dad and I were just playing against 1 normal, and both of us had to step our game off to fend it off. Was a nice challenging push back. (Love the new larger sized armies that are sent.)

@sorian if you keep this up, you're going to become famous for enslaving the human race with the first true ai.

Very impressive as usual.

It's not that bad playing against the AI. I just recently played a FFA against 5 hard AIs and won. Granted it was before this new patch and I only really won because they mostly fought each other, but I still won nonetheless .

But we'll all be freed by a server crash.

Yeah, the AI is pretty evil. RTS' have a reputation for tepid AI, I think this game is going to gain notoriety for making you want to go online to avoid the AI's viciousness rather than its mundanity.

I just got beat by a normal AI, and it wasn't by nuking. Attempting to process the possibility...

Segmentation fault

They are referring to the new patch AI. Night and day difference.

Nice one. But the AI has really changed. It actually uses many workers now while buildings the planet engines. Its pretty damn crazy. If you play a FFA like i did with a planet that only requires one engine to move lol. thank you random system generator haha. you better watch out.

I hope they remove and fix the planet instantly moving, because that gives you zero warning and chance to do anything. the planet in my game just teleported as soon as the AI engaged then 2 sec late hit my commander in the face. The planet should actually have to move around the sun. not sure why it didn, bug maybe ?..

that's probably a bug

Well Sorion said there would be personalities. The little pink robot should be easy and timid and the black spikey bot should be evil and aggressive. And would help if you can have little visuals of them reacting to you like in Stronghold...that was the best of the AI *ILL KILL YOU, ILL KILL YOU!! ILL TEAR YOU INTO PEASHESH, INTO LITTLE...ITTY....BITTY....PEAAASSSHHHEESSSHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Just played my first game against normal, there were a few close calls but I still managed to beat it in fifteen and a half minutes.
(Of course if I didn't T2 air rush I probably would've lost)

The Pig was awesome

Though killing The Rat still had the most satisfaction.
