Netherlords

Hi,

My name is Peter Norberg and I've been working on a strategy game together with my brother since early 2011. Now that we are getting closer to launching the multi-player version we're starting to look at an AI for a single-player version. This is currently a side-project but I thought I would share our progress if anyone is interested. When I've searched for information about game AIs I've had lots of help from other sites and blogs (for example the blog by checkmarkgames also discussed here).

Anyway, I've only started by discussing our pathfinder:

... and an overview of the AI structure:

I'm new to this and hope to learn a lot with this project. Insights, ideas or thoughts are welcome!

Best regards,

Peter

Hi,


My name is Peter Norberg. My brother Johan and I would like to introduce you to our current game project, Rising Empires, that we have been working on for a bit more than one and a half year. Rising Empires is a civilisation building game with a focus on conflict:

“Rising Empires is a massive multiplayer turn-based strategy game in a fantasy setting intended for Android phones. The goal of Rising Empires is to expand and strengthen your empire by developing your cities and research new technologies.

Six races with unique abilities struggle to survive on the Surface and deep in the caves of the Netherworld. There is a constant conflict for territory between empires as well as in between their demanding gods! A rich technology tree allows each player to mould his empire and troops to suit his playing style. All empires play in the same world and interact with each other.”



The game has been designed for Android smart phones and we intend to release it on Google Play near the end of this year. Nina Olsson at Morgis Art & Design has helped us with all in-game graphics and Robin Chyo (Senior Concept Artist at Funzio) has created all race images:



If you're interested in Rising Empires and its development please support us by visiting our website or our Google+ page and +1 us. We write regular updates for Rising Empires and there is also a gallery with screenshots from the very beginning of the development.

Cheers!
