Dancer & ZKGBAI vs 3x Circuit

A slow inglorious death..

The support tag is now exclusively used as a target category for Dancer type statemate units, including felons, convicts, funnels, impalers.

circuit should now react to this sort of play more sensibly, with artillery and heavy spam.

I think AIs will need hardcoded responses to beat shieldball

Cloaked roaches are best argument vs shield balls if they aren't screened.
Cloaked snipers is even better at start. Until area shields is in field they kill felon with one shoot.
Cooking with fire walkers also works.
Racketeer spam.
Penetrator.
Bigger shield ball.
Agree that AI needs shield ball detection coded.
Shields balls and trollsoms make hard time for AI. I don't know if latest version are better vs trollcoms then previous.
However most problematic is attrition rate from AI. It doesnt care about suicided units. However i know that is impossible to make so clever AI.

To make it the skill of a human with no cheats will require a very very long time to make.

Remember every human has their own style (most of the time), and will respond differently, especially in ZK. Someone may respond against Gogo by building a shockley, another may use Tremor, one may even go Thunderbird.

The only plausible way for an AI to reliably beat a human in anything is to have AI learn, and make it learn faster. Then use said information against human/AI.

It is simply because you can easily mess around with AI, CAI is terrible at defeating porc unless it has sniper/pene, at which point a raider can easily take it down,Circuit can't deal with Funnyweb, or Shields, simply because it doesn't seem to use Saturation arty

Then it gets bombarded by artillery and can't recover.

Micromanagement is useful, but not moreuseful than changing your tactics when random stuff happens.

That's why AI loses and Gogo can get beaten, people adapt to situation, AI can't.

quote: Instead of playing unfair 1v2

I prefer that over a "fair" match over AI's which tend to be inferior in anti-porc. Or killing Gogo balls for that matter.



I like CAI, and I can't follow circuit download properly. I'll try again lolz.

Circuit does dirtbag against Shieldballs, or in a 1v1, a heavy tank push, or heaven forbid invisble Reaper spam.

If you can destroy the Gunship/Plane, breach the porc, and avoid looking for a fight, Circuit is screwed.

Artillery to take down porc and just following your units is probably best way to get around, and avoiding transit routes tends to help against it. It also helps to win the attrition battle, since Circuit can't fight with a damaged unit force, unlike a human.

What do you mean ?

quote: What do you mean ?

If the player has a damaged pool of units being repaired, and the enemy attacks some critical objective that those damaged units could defend successfully (at the cost of their lives), or the enemy exposes a critical vulnerability that those units could exploit (at their dying breath), a human player will often take this opportunity.

Circuit will keep repairing. Neither it nor KGB can comprehend opportunity cost.
