Default Re: Important AI Improvement

We kindof hit the wall with Dom2. All the changes that could be made without a full rewrite, were made. I totally expect that many things will be vastly improved with AI. Including the fact that a full new version will support things the users wanted.

So I ALSO expect that no matter what improvements have been made, we will come up with more. And push it to the wall again

Indeed, and as we know IW, they will keep enchancing the AI with the patches. [If the players will have constructive ideas hopefully]

Keep in mind not to rush with the suggestions. Its easy to overlook the balance or use of something. Even in Dom2 we all saw the new players rushing to declare how imbalanced Ulm or Ermor or certain tactics were. This one will be even rougher.
