It's finally here! After 6 brain melting weeks of solid programming the new AI system has been completed! The main goal of this patch was to reimplement all of the old AI into the new system, but while I was rewriting the code I slipped in a whole bunch of fun new behaviors and tweaks that I hope you'll enjoy. I also added a bunch of great maps that you guys have created, and a new music track!
I expect this patch to be very buggy, and very unbalanced. So please provide as much feedback as possible! I'll be working on refining the AI throughout the InDev 15 unstable builds while I am working on the new influence system.
You can report bugs over at the official website's Support and Bugs Forum, or on the Steam Discussion Board. :)
