Wil lthere ever be any posibility to add some kind of skirmish multiplayer simulating AI to settlers? Thats mainly what I always enjoyed most playing with in old settlers games and the 10th annivasery. I really like RoaE except that point there don't seem to be any AI opponents for skirmish gameplay made me really disspointed. :<

Perhaps it will be possible to create AI scripts with the coming editor or at least custom maps that can simulate a skirmish match as good as possible?

According to what I've seen on Die Siedler, the editor comes with some pre generated scripts for adding enemies etc.
If you'd rather add your own scripting, you'll need the professional editor, but they say you'll need to apply for that one by email.

Thx ye heard about that email for editor already.

Was just hoping somone knew, if BB doesnt want to do a own AI I hoped they at least open up a way for somone else to write a own AI for it. Make/Editing strategy game AIs is one of my greatest hobbies, I really love it. Always dreaming of creating a strategy game AI that can play as good as a good professional human player without cheating. Simply likes a challenging AI.

Thing I dont get is that on the back of the box it states

"RISE TO THE CHALLENGE: Join forces with your friends in cooperative multiplayer. Who will create an empire that can stand the test of time?"

Last time I checked cooperative multiplayer means that you can play against an AI in multiplayer. Whats up?

I think by co-op multilayer they mean that you and a friend can play against two other human players.

I really hope they release some sort of AI tho, definitely would make the game a lot more fun when you can't get online.

Hy! I want to play the settlers rise of an empire with hamachi. who wants to play with me? please send me your nickname and password (if you have) for hamachi to make a lan connection

a Year has gone by and it seems no AI will be added to the LAN Multiplayer MAPS for ROAE. Kinda Sad to hear that.

Hey BTOG46, any updates on this AI on LAN multiplayer maps? Anything BB can do to give us something to pass the time until Spring 10 gets here? There has to be something someone can do to @ least have some AI included in those MAPS. Is there a widget we can use on the actual multiplayer maps?

I'm not sure if it would be possible for a map maker to create mp maps and script in AI enemies, I'm not that good a map maker myself to know if it could be done or not.

I know that some map makers scripted in some AI as extra enemies in Settlers 5, but that was more as a distraction to all players, as the AI was hostile to all players, and wasn't used to replace human opponents.

Sadly, the majority of mp players prefer playing against human enemies, so there isn't a large demand for AI enemy maps.

Understood. Thanks for the update BTOG46.
