Winborne chooses to discuss exactly what the title of his article suggests, a different kind of artifical intelligence, in his debute column on Apolyton.Comments/questions are welcomed here, or you may opt to contact the author directly. ----------------

I'm no programmer, so I'm not exactly clear on how this works. Could someone please explain it more thoroughly? |

What Windborne describes is possible in Age of Empires II and to a lesser degree in the original.  ------------------

Don't mean to sound "contradictory" here, but...We already have a "modular" approach to Ai's in every version of Civ's; Attack-Expand-Civilize AS 1,0 or -1 is some kind of variably applied personality for opponents. This method is a >low-level< stacking that is almost identical to the NODES-Ply's verification standard in many games. Contrary to programmable >high-level< calling from subprocedurals tied to a "constant" main, it basically makes planning more "humanlike" than unpredictable. Randomizing is another key element; Smart reasoning OR emotional thinking. A library of intelligent moves by chessplayers (for example) has been known to recreate "smart" somehow.
The human's -sad-, -mad-, -sensitivity- aspects are harder to code than the mathematical approach. |
