I'm trying to think if I've actually played any games that did in fact have good AI. Seems like every one that I've gotten at all serious about has had the same complaints. I'm wondering: are we expecting too much from the technology? Is good, or maybe even just competent, AI just not possible yet in the current state of gaming? If there are good strategy/tactical combo games out there with AI that really gives the single player at least a reasonable facsimile of a humanoid challenge, I for one'd sure like to hear about 'em. Please share!
p.s. When I was playing Sid Meier's Gettysburg and Antietam 5-6 years ago, those sure seemed to challenge the human player. But they'd prolly be unplayable in the XP world, more's the pity.
