I think that an AI version could be a big improvement for Ultimate Footmen. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] is a great example of a good AI.
In the OLD topic, they discussed really, advanced ad smart AI. I don't think that would be necessary for people that just wanted to test or learn things. I don't know much about world editor but the above map is a perfect example that a decent AI is possible. Something like this would be perfect for Ulty Footy. Simple, upgrading tiers, controlling heros and footmen. Buying upgrades and items and using the "marker on the minimap" function to warn AI to attack where.
To work out the difficulties, higher levels can make more money on kills, start off with more and maybe even level up a bit faster.
Check out the map and the AI, on insane, evcn some of my pro friends can't win, where on easy, the newbiest n00b could win. The reason I want an AI for Ulty Footy is... well.. its so Ultimate. :lol:
So anyone, with skills, capable of making AI. Try it out and post it! Or at least tell us that you can make a map, even a test. We'll all beta test it. :chessey:

I plan to make an AI in v1.2 of my Footmen Revolution map. :chessey:
v1.0:

I created an AI for my previous map, Micro Battle Arena. I had people complaining that the AI was too good.

The only thing it doesnt do is buy items.

Hmm thats a good idea, that way you could play Ultimate Footmen by yourself or with one other person, just for the fun of it. I dont know much about AI, acctually i tried it once and SUCKED. i couldn't do jack. so i dont know how complicated it would be. but yeah it seems like a good idea.

Hey if anybody needs any triggering done or has any questions about it just PM it to me and i will help you to the best of my ability.

it would be prettty good for 1v1 matchs becasue you could add comps on all of the teams, so they game wouldnt be like a hero wars because thats pretty much what a 1v1 is...

A wise man once said, When you know whats good for people more then they do, you have the right to impose your will on those people. As a mod of pollama, i have that right.

Heh i actually did this.. just for laughs and kicks.. those who played seemed to like it ^^.

How was it? I would never try to make an Ultimate Footmen AI. I would never get the random player effect that makes Footmen Wars map, Footmen wars map.

Mr. Zero

Most Footman AI just sux ballz.

1. Send unit to middle
2. Send hero to middle
3. Keep send units, level hero and learn spells
4. Hero low health send home.

Do the same again and again and again and ag... you get the idea.

King Stubby

do they upgrade? :chessey:

MrOrange

Some do.

And Mr. Zero. That's exactly the reason why I don't like AI footmen wars. Like it's cool when you have two other players on the team with the AI.

Titan

The one i did, to make it hella hard, upgraded atk/def/race upgrade +1 at certain points.. and id hav like footmen 0-0, theyd hav tier 1 7-7 >.>..

But as zero already said.. thats all the stuff u need to do (at least all i did)

EDIT: Heya, found that AI map i made, so if you want to take a look/play it, its uploaded in this post!
Oddly enough, Vexorians Optimizer INCREASED the file size on the map, so dont be fooled.
Use the one that doesnt have (Optimized) to look at, and the one with (optimized) to play

The idea of making an AI map is a good one at the core, but there really is no match for human allies and enimies which is what Ultimate Footies was made for. How would you ask for gold? How would you coordinate your attacks. It just would not be as much fun as playing via battlenet and I see no real reason to make and AI version.

To test in single player.. if you actually want to win, you need a strategy, some do that by single player testing.
