We have once again done the impossible.
This might look like a base built by a skilled human player who knows how to expand. But it is not. Instead, it is built by our new Advanced AI!
This AI expands through the map from one resource field to another. Once it has reached a resource field, it places a Refinery next to it, and then continues expanding to another one!
The AI also builds extra factories to bump up its unit production speed, depending on how many fields it has managed to expand to.
This makes the AI play far more competently on large maps with many resource fields and makes matches vs. the AI much more exciting and dynamic compared to the original TS engine AI, which preferred sitting in its own corner for the whole match.
Thanks to this smarter AI expanding logic, we were also able to heavily cut the AI's cheats while still having it be roughly as difficult as our old AI was! This opens the room for many human-like tactics to work against the AI, such as starving it by hunting down its harvesters!
