[.913 issue] AI always chooses Assassin and Warrior paths [AKA: 'help me test AI level-up rules' thread]

from Elemental Forums

I'd like to investigate how AI's level up (trait selection, trends, abilities they choose, specialisation). I've observed strange traits in AI sovereigns after levelup. Can you help me do this?

I need the access to logs that show levelup choices per AI level; or a cheat that lets me see AI sovereign details in-game, so I can observe them as they level up.

I also need a description from the Functional Spec of how you want AI level-ups to behave.

Finally, I'll need the ability to make suggestions on improving AI level ups based on the above. :) I'll then begin some scenario-based testing and analyse the results for you.

Let me know if you'd like this or not.

:S I cannot help you with this, and I allready think you have the ability to make suggestions on improving the AI ^_^

If you need me to print some of the sovereigns I see when playing, just ask, I wont mind :)

If you note down some examples of what the AI sovereign had on level1, and what they chose when they levelled up, it'd be useful. I'll start doing the same. We can then compare notes.

Sounds like a very good community project. :)

Yeah, every AI takes Path of the Assassin + Warrior. Pls see screenshots attached for examples. Seems like more meaningful selections should be made on level-up by the AI (or, at least more diverse!)

Occurs for custom and standard sovereigns, as well as champions:

I think I see them so often pick merchant 1, although I never see it available for myself ^_^
