AI or Nothing?

What do you want when someone drops?

August 5, 2009 8:56:35 AM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

When someone drops a game would you rather have them replaced with an AI or not replaced at all?

 

Sadly, I think this is a legitimate question. It seems to me that the AI does nothing more then feed the other team. I'd rather take my chances alone or with my reamining teammates. Maybe I am not appreciating the few flags they capture or the one or two citadel upgrades they buy.

 

What are your thoughts on this?

The better solution would obviously be to just make the AI better. The question is if that's possible.

The problem with the AI as far as I've noticed is how he doesn't anticipate spikes of damage. He's basically a free kill even at full health, because he doesn't start running until he's rather low and is easy to finish off.

I think the planned change of increasing his hp and lowering his reward sounds pretty good, but still a bit of a compromise. Additionally I'd definitely make him more defensive. I'd have him run away just to avoid coming into another dg's range in the first place.

I think they have already decreased the reward for killing AI.

 

I still think that as things are now I would rather have nothing then AI.

 

I agree with your comments about making AI super defensive.

Just have the AI run back and forth avoiding demigods and putting capture locks on flags and I'm happy.

As it is now: One player down over an feeder AI every time, sadly.
