Todo list

Open 25

• AI pulls the same ranked unit back every 30 seconds

  One unit was pulled out 11 times in a single match.

• Damaged Scorpion waits at the Arms Dealer and is never repaired

  A Scorpion at 14% health sat at its Arms Dealer for 10 minutes. Cause not found yet.

• AI pulls back unhurt units when their team is losing

  Colonel Burton was pulled out at full health. A unit that is not hurt should stay in the fight.

• AI garrisons nothing along the front line

  It only garrisons around its base and its own buildings.

• Infantry the AI puts into a building never come out
• AI buys no infantry for its expansion bunkers

  Only men already within reach get in.

• Measure AI garrisons in neutral buildings

  Never measured yet; Twilight Flame has no suitable building near the base, so it needs another map.

• AI ambulances die almost every time

  24 out of 25 died. They are not pulled back when hit.

• AI ambulances rarely let healed infantry out

  Only 2 of 10 called in were let out.

• Ambulance can turn back to a hazard it already gave up on

  It stops once the hazard runs out, but the trip is wasted.

• Guarding ambulance returns to the wrong spot after a cleanup

  An ambulance guarding an object goes back to the spot it stood on instead of the object.

• Prove the AI changes with a win rate

  Twilight Flame Hard 1v1 ended 0/8 decided both before and after. Needs another map or more matches.

• Repeat the ambulance test with more matches

  GLA wins went from 1/6 to 3/6, which is inside the noise of 6 matches.

• Repeat the gatherer fix test with more matches

  It earned 1.3% less money in 4v4, but over only 2 matches.

• Reshoot the Spectre clip

  It has a black map-edge strip at the top left. Shoot it from another heading.

• AI never builds a new dozer once it has none left

  A base that loses its dozers stops building for the rest of the match.

• Let the AI save up for what it needs most

  It spends money as fast as it comes in. A priority queue would let it save for the top item instead of buying whatever is affordable now.

• AI attacks too early and too often

  Make it play more defensively and build its economy (supply centres, oil derricks, Black Markets) before it pushes.

• AI leaves its Chinooks idle

  Use them to carry infantry to the front.

• AI sends siege units ahead of its tanks

  Artillery, Tomahawks, Scuds and Nuke Cannons die before they fire. Keep them behind the tanks.

• Bigger effects for rifle, machine gun and tank shots

  Tracers, muzzle flashes and impacts read too small on screen.

• Options setting to turn cloud shadows off
• Bigger explosion for the Aurora bomber

  It does far more damage than a Scud missile, yet its explosion looks much weaker. It needs a blast that matches what it does.

• USA AI builds too many ambulances to heal veterans

  Since the last update it puts dozens of ambulances to work and its attacking strength drops while it does.

• Smarter Particle Cannon use for the USA AI

  The AI should aim the USA's laser where it does the most harm.
