Thread: How does the AI make decisions?27 Jul 2021, 16:00 PM From things I have seen about Relic in the past, they tend to do rather complicated/elegant calculations for things. Relic needs a way to decide which units to make. This changes after each patch. So it is my belief that they do a calc that decides how much a unit costs and how much DPS it can do. So you will see that after each new patch, the AI will start to spam a different unit. And it is a weak indicator as to what is OP during this patch. Of course it is hard to make decisions about DPS and map fighting distances. So, for example, the AI will spam close range units like OST pios on a large map where they get rekt. There is also no way to calculate how strong that units abilities are either. Some obvious things as your enemy: - The AI has no Fog of War. So they will run around your units and cap points behind you. - The AI will park its vehicles in front of your AT weapons. - The AI will hunt down your sniper. - The AI will step on or drive over your mines. - The AI will move its units to the position you tell your units to travel to. So never click far away or use rally points or you will be met by the AI at that point. - The AI will spam light vehicles with all that extra fuel it gets. - The AI tends to put bunkers/bofors/etc on your fuel cutoff. Things as your team mate (still enemy): - The AI will drive its vehicles behind yours to block them and get them killed. This seems to be code that tries to support your advances but the code is not so good. - The AI will steal your team weapons etc if you tell your units to take it. So you need to move your units nearby, but not too close to it. - Since the AI has no FOW, you can almost use it as a recon source. Since it will move to areas where no enemies exist. And of course it is completely broken for many factions: - OST AI will send a pio out to cap a point as it makes a new one. Then it will call the first back to build a building while the 2nd is standing in the base. - OKW will spam Kubels at all points in a game. Must be calculated as powerful for its cost??? This is all from my limited experience playing AI and testing maps. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The best feature of CoH326 Jul 2021, 04:20 AM vCoh had the best physics. Ragdolling corpses bouncing off everything was 30% of the fun of the game. I saw a dude get popped with a tank shot, fly into the air and land on the tank. Then slide down the side as an arty strike came down. Then he flew into the air cartwheeling across the map. I have no memories of fun like that in Coh2. It is sorely missing. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Suppression Meter25 Jul 2021, 23:24 PM This would be great for the times when my unit is in green cover but is instantly pinned by MG fire. Quality product would buy again. In: COH3 Central
Thread: Pathfinders?24 Jul 2021, 22:38 PM Jump back to quoted post23 Jul 2021, 21:55 PMKurobane ...every noob under the sun cries about something being OP rather than reflecting within and realizing that maybe they just aren't that good at the game. You should not say "arent good at the game". You should maybe say lack knowledge of certain units. Especially since NONE of this information is provided by Relic in the game. Hopefully something they fix in COH3. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: I'm sorry Relic20 Jul 2021, 16:51 PM I keep telling you guys RTS players are a special breed of psuedo intellectuals. All they ever want to do is prove how much better they are than everyone else (Self esteem issues?). They will always argue with anyone over the dumbest points. It is kind of who they are. It is their identity. That is why you see so much flaming and trolling and people complaining about cheese strats etc. "It cant be me I am amazing!" I keep posting this info here hoping some will read it and grow as humans to be more comfortable with themselves. But then I feel bad for the people around these PIs because arguing on the internet keeps them busy and not bothering anyone around them.

Thread: Black Prince Poll19 Jul 2021, 02:56 AM You guys seem to be having so much fun talking about a tank in a video game. While I am blissful in my lack of WW2 knowledge and can just enjoy the game. Does everyone lose their shit when they play as soviets and land on some French based map??? Or when they see a piano or bath tub in a field because Coh2 seriously lacked useful models? "Do you think that is air you are breathing?" In: COH3 Central
Thread: Relics Legendary Team Game Matchups17 Jul 2021, 19:03 PM Recently, I keep seeing mismatches where a team of 2 or maybe even 3 are given a lot more weight. In a perfect world It makes me hope Relic has made an adjustment to boost premades. In this particular case, maybe they were still calibrating? So they will get matched high? In: Scrap Yard
Thread: Rosbones Coh3 Wishlist15 Jul 2021, 13:18 PM This is premature since we have not seen MP yet but here are my thoughts: MAPS There needs to be a few different styles of maps for COH3. There are different styles of players. To maximize the player base and make everyone happy we need more map styles. PVP - Player vs Player PVP maps need to be a little less cluttered and flow better than campaign style maps. At some point we will get MP alphas and then we can talk more to this style of map. Right now we have no idea of mechanics, army comps, what will be OP, etc. FL - FUN/LEARNING MAPS FL maps are designed for new players to get used to PVP while fighting bots. The maps should be a mix of pretty and PVP maps. The mappers can push the boundaries a little more of what should be allowed for balance while adding in lots of eye candy. Many players play on lowest settings to get maximum FPS, so standard PVP maps should be dumbed down a little. FLs should be used to showcase the new engine and how beautiful maps can be. That is a big draw for many learning players. CS - COMP STOMP These maps need choke points. These include your typical CS maps that have 3 bridges like Lyon, Sittard Summer, etc. Some players do not enjoy microing units all over the place but enjoy the setting and the big ticket items like arty and tanks. Choke point maps also force the AI to fight you rather than sneak around behind you capping points. When I played vCoh and early Coh2 I always enjoyed a long single lane map. An example would be my map THE NARROW. A great feature of this style map is you can make it a 4v4 map. So players have more control of the number of enemies they fight. You can play you and a friend against 4 AI for example. So you get to kill more units that are less aggressive (See AI below). And similar to FL maps, CS maps could be heavily decorated like this amazing map BUDAPEST or the campaign maps we have seen already. AUTOMATCH MAPS - PVP maps: These are designed for automatch and should be included of course. - FL maps: Depending on the engine performance and the map veto system, a few of these can be used for automatch. Many players love pretty maps but there should not be so many that it breaks peoples vetoes and forces top players to play on them. - CS maps: None of these maps should be used for automatch. AI UNIT SETTINGS The Coh system usually has a few levels of AI. Each is basically the same AI but with more resources and less FOW. These are great for prepping people to play PVP. I would like to see adjustments for comp stomp players. For example you can play against an easy AI that is very passive but you can set that AI to have massive resources. This lets low skill CS players fight lots of units that are not fighting back as much. This way players can adjust the game to how they actually want to play it, rather than be forced to only play a certain way. For example playing against EASY AI is boring because it makes very few units. Playing against HARD AI is fun because it makes more units, but it sucks because the units fight differently and are more aggressive/back cap more/ etc. Would be great to adjust the skill and number of enemies to your skill level and map style. This would add another setting to the AI: - Easy AI: low, mid, high resources - Normal AI: low, mid, high resources - Hard AI: low, mid, high resources - Expert AI: low, mid, high resources I am assuming that the AI will already be better at fighting than previous versions. If anyone has ideas about the map or AI styles I can add them to the list. In: COH3 Central
