yes guys its almost done so now youll have a 3rd general to play against!!
ive been working on the demo gen and im learning some really cool ways the AI can kick your ass in

UPDATE:
Made a lot of changes to attack groups, they are much more deadly and varied. i also came up with two new methods that will probably be used for all generals in the future:

Smart Money Management System (SMMS)
Im working on making sure the computer will never run out of money and will never have too much of it either, while growing progressively stronger...
It will use a smart logic to build more stashes (and laters black markets) if it needs money and will build more factories and therefore units if it has too much of it. it will help me remove the EA cheats as it will work for its money harder

Combined Weapons Assault Combos (CWAC)
Im working also on making the AI use a combination of superweapons, general powers and attack groups all synchronizedly, dealing a devastating blow to any foe. An example of a rudimentary version of CWAC is on the match below.


To test out my demo gen i got a standard hard USA AI to play against it on TOURNAMENT TUNDRA (great map for playing with AIs as they waypoints are well made). Within 2 minutes you could see clearly who was who on the radar by the huge amount of dots Demo had compared to the USA in the map. Demo managed to almost get the derricks but the USA rangers killed them only a few seconds before the capture finished. USA took the derrick but not for long. soon quads razed it and took control of the center of the map. Bigger raids using scorpions, quads and technicals soon ensued. Having 30k in bank Demo built a fourth arms dealer and started pumping out bikes nonstop. bike attack drained USAs forces and kept them rebuilding defenses and power plants constantly. once the scud storm was done it held it as it gathered its forces. then suddenly Demo launched a scud storm and anthrax bomb in the middle of USA's base. amidst the chaos i noticed a sneak attack appeared right by the side of their PCU. Four bomb trucks quads and scorpions stormed out and quickly destroyed the PCU before it even fired its first shot. a demo rebel ambush appeared in the remaining of the USAs tanks and destroyed them all. a few seconds later some 20 bikers attacked from the flank and destroyed all defenses and power of USA's base. lots of scuds, attack buggies and scorpions soon came from 3 directions at the same time and utterly destroyed whatever USA had left, which wasnt much..

great fun to watch that match... im off for a final play against it and some adjustments. After that ill send v0.4 to MiCScoTho and youll all be able to enjoy its sheer goodness 😁

Keep tuned!

Impressive!! 😁 Keep up the awesome work.

hehe it can also be keep tuned in but i want to be original 😁



ok v0.4 is done...
there are a few bugs that are GLA related not specific to my AI, both of which will hopefully be fixed:
-not building enough workers for each supply stash
-Not refilling the tunnel network sometimes caused by reinforcing the group while its out of the tunnel, causing it to think that it doesnt need to go inside even after it has been destroyed..


the changes are in the changelog (although im tired of putting the same stuff for each general)
Mic while we at it can you put a button (like the ones in the main page) for downloading my mod so its easier to see?

by the way id reccomend playing it on tournament tundra for good waypoints or maps with lots of space for expansion (although im fixing 90% of the lack of space problems the AI has)

v0.4 beta added!

I updated the installer with a button to go to Generals World. I also updated the Advanced AI Mod page with a new "Download Now" button on the top right... hopefully this will make it easier to see the download link. If anyone has any suggestions for the website, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

nice one 😁
once the news section is updated then everyone can download it with no frills and the go to CNCGW still in case it gets posted somewhere else!

btw the CWAC and SMMS are only for the demo gen ATM, i didnt have time to do that for other generals yet..

This looks good. Who do you plan on doing next (as in what General)?

lol, i didnt mean to triple post but in the excitement of the act, well you know 😁

as most people seem to be voting for the airforce general, i think ill be working on him. It will be a tough one to do as the computer is not very clever when it comes to avoiding AA fire, especially from quads/gats...
i guess ill have to use quite a few ground units a la SWG and huge comanche attack squads
on the other hand ill be trying some new resource hunting logics that might make it quite effective at crippling the enemy and then finishing him off

Btw Mic could you update the main new section? people probably dont even know v0.3 is out let alone 0.4 😁
