I love GC2, the AI is the best in any computer games I have played. But one thing is missing from the AI that make it perfect: the ability to learn from game to game (pls correct me if I'm wrong, I will be delighted if GC2 AIs do indeed learn from the human player)
Can Stardock develop a learning AI? One that can learn from the player. It need not be able to counter the player strategy in a single game, but over a few games, It is able to learn from the player style and strategy, develop it's own strategy and counter the player.
If this can be done, I will not only trying to outsmart Stardock computer gurus in strategy, I'm also trying to beat myself in everygame, cos the AI will adapt to my play style.
In another aspect, I'm also training my own GC AI. A host system can be setup to let player's trained AI battle it out without human interference and have a ranking of player's AI like Meterverse. The system should also allow player to upload their "pet" AI for other to download and play against.
Several AI of different difficulty levels and play styles can be host on Stardock website or SDC. Player can download different AI to play against. These "official" AI can/should be release on a regural basis.
If Stardock is able to provide this, I'm willing to pay monthly/yearly suscription and not buy another computer game.
