Excellent...

now ask yourself what part of the military or scientific multi billion dollar industry would pay for it?

Great...so lets get it straight...IF CA actually did manage to code "human realistic" AI in their game, we'd bloody well know about it, or maybe they would just disappear because DARPA buy's them out for lets say....1 Billion dollars!!!



Christ on the cross people.

It's 50 dollar game and your equating a section of CA's code with something that would be as valuable as what the quantum physic coders make for billion dollar investment companies to predict the stock market.
CA promised a revolutionary new AI, never before seen. In the demo of the game, when playing as the British, it seemed like they had made good on their promise. The American troops defending the fjord stayed in place and ripped any units you sent at them to pieces. If you moved troops to cross the undefended fjord, they would swing around 60% of their army to meet your troops, and march toward you in order, engage you in order, mimicking tactics of the day, and would put up a bloody good fight.

All scripted behaviour, deviously designed to fool people into buying Empire. If we played that battle with the AI we have now, the American soldiers would charge at you over the first fjord, the one they have fortified, and abandon their excellent defensive position. If you crossed the second fjord, you would be lucky if they sent a unit of cavalry, and if they did send a unit of cavalry it would charge head-on into a 4-rank deep unit of line infantry with bayonnets equipped, getting ripped to shreds.

The rest of their army would then bunch up into a huge cluster, unable to make a decision, and be annihlated.

If CA can't make anything but crap AI, then they ought to just admit it, not lie to me and talk about revolutionary this and revolutionary that, and then let sympathizers like you try to convince me (unsuccesfully) that they did the best they could with the funding available.

Once again, perhaps they did do the best they could with the funding available, but the AI is not revoltuionary, nor is it an improvement on Rome or M2, and it is a hell of a lot worse than MTW1, which I find funny, considering that was released... 9 years ago?
