Hi all. I''m building a Space-Game (like Starfleet Command) and would like to ask the following: What would be the best (low expense work wise, greatest results) AI for my game? This is not meant to start a what''s-the-best-AI war. thanks frank

I was thinking along the lines of a FSM type (i.e. if my health lower 10% then run like hell) but also with multiple personalities and basic learning (don''t fall for the same trick twice).

would (basic) learning be to hard?
I read la''mothe''s article on NN but didn''t really figure it our

i''ll probably will be loading in the personalities from a dll to make the modifications easyer.

Starfleet Command, released by Interplay, was a Star Trek based game. you where the commanding officer of 1-3 ships, in a pseudo 3-d world. mostly all you did was fight. the AI was very limited.
It would follow you everywhere and only did obstical avoidance.

thanks

frank
