Indeed, I'm aware the AI is barebones, however, this is a case of flatly refusing to utilize resources, which gimps them even further.
I'd hasten to add, the AI completely ignores precursor relics.
If its easy to start with, its even easier when the computer hands you complete control over all resources.
The placeholder AI "should" utilize basic resources.
It could. In fact, it might.
Feedback; call it whatever you want. There it is.
you are really overestimating how barebones the ai is atm
right now the ai is pretty much a rock holding down a pile of income tax returns and your saying well its sitting on the paperwork it should start filling it out
i think gilmoys pretty much spot on here
The current AI placeholder is as rudimentary as orcs in the Rogue dungeon crawl:
{ if (gold in room) moveto(gold.xy); else moveto(rallypoint.xy); }
if you change that last line to
{ if (enemy visible) moveto(enemy.xy); else moveto(rallypoint.xy); }
you pretty much have the capabilities we have now.
