We do not want AI to automatically play dumb requiring players take extra step to smarten it up.

There will be options to dumb down retaining original OTA compatibility if that is what a player prefers. Skirmish Pack is offering smarter AI game play. An overlay for Escalation aiprofiles is opposite from S-Pack approach. The same deposits you have referred to in other forums as being 'ugly', plus some other oversized variants of them.ĭ) What is good for V Maps is not necessarily good for skirmish. TA innards do not enable efficient handling of those big patches. Another reason for map revision is splitting/reducing size of oversized metal deposits. Why? Increases chance of having backup factories and resource structures located away from the more vulnerable front allowing some room to fall back as its base defenses deal with incoming threat. skirmish play?! For example, moving start positions to be about one screen height/width distance from nearest map edge doubles choice of expansion directions for AI. Skirmish Pack has the option to improve maps for. If needed, perhaps separate 'Best of' or 'Recommended' lists for land maps, water maps, etc.ī) Trying to avoid 'fill-up-the-pack' appearances so less chance of player shrugging it off as 'just another map pack'.Ĭ) V Maps revises some map features to improve head-to-head play. Probably best not to go too far above 100(?) but we will get feedback from players as pack grows. Too many maps becomes counterproductive because takes more time to preview 500+ maps. S-Pack's priority is skirmish players as it aims to:Ī) Save player time by offering quality choice of maps good for skirmish.

V Maps is set up to please head-to-head players. What you may be missing is Skirmish Pack targets a different portion of player base.
