Any chance we're going to see a skirmish mode any time soon? That's still number one on my wish list!

That would require AI.

Speaking of which, where is it, Phil?

I could have sworn I sent it to you a couple months ago. :shock: Did you not receive it? No wonder I never heard back..... I'll send it again.

Oh, and AI was precisely what I was talking about. Is there any chance WI could have an AI added in the near future?

Whoa, you programmed AI for warfare? Or is that a level?

NOOOOO! NO! NO! :lol:

I did NOT program artificial intelligence for WI. Sorry for that. What Verdagon and I are talking about a level with triggers that SIMULATE artificial intelligence (loosely) that he and I have been collaborating on.

It's still in beta, but hopefully will be out soon!


.....i only wish i could program a true ai for WI....... :wink:

Edit:
Of course, if you'd like to try a mission with similar ideas, try "Sword of the Sun." I based alot of the attack triggers in the AI mission on the same series of triggers for "Sword." Sword has triggers that tell the computer to build units based on what the player does. It couldn't really be said to be a true simulation of ai, but it comes somewhat close. The mission Verdagon and I are working on will be even closer!

Yep. Making AI is fun. I used to do that for Age of Empires II. It drove my brother crazy, but I liked doing it.

When AI's out, I'm sure, Skirmish mode will be too.
