I would like to see some team AI for next version of Starcrack!
I don't know how hard it would be to do all these things but here's a list I think you could possibly do:
- Make the AI ping on interesting points (where he's going to exp, where he's attacking, when he needs help)
- Make the AI respond to messages like "Attack 1" and he would attack player 1
- Make the AI come and help you when the message "your team mate is under attack"
- Respond to pings, if you ping somewhere on the map he would go there and scout for it (to maybe kill an exp)
That's all I could come up with for now :)
totally agree with all them above!
Very good ideas!It would be vrey good to implement them!

From what I remember looking through the code, the AI does attack with you if you're on the offensive (though I can't remember if that's just while they're teamed with other AI), so it probably wouldn't be that difficult to expand that to helping out with defense if it's not already there. The other three may be impossible though; I don't recall seeing any way blizzard allows the AI to interact with messages or ping the minimap. I'm definitely not the expert though, hopefully I just overlooked something.
I agree...
I really like playing team games in almost every game I play, like Warcraft 3 I always like having a computer that actually does something.
Right now, Starcraft 2 teammates in Easy mode, don't do anything. When I get attacked, they just sit around building even though they have a huge army. When they get attacked, I have to go all the way there to help, sometimes I don't even notice that they get hit! It would be nice to have "HELP ME" from the AI's.
I play DOTA Ai alot in Warcraft 3, and I like the options of "Attack", "Defend", "Gank", "Attack Boss", etc.
But this would be a little hard to implement very fast, and they have other stuff to do. But I really hope it is implemented.
ya i had similar stuff as nibbit had. i was playing earlier today and the other team rushed me with cracklings and i was toss. didnt have any cannons up yet and couldnt force field in time. they demolished my army and my ally came up with 20 marines or so but wouldnt do anything he just keep going back and forth.
there should be commands i think that you can tell an ai what to do. maybe say help and he sends units to wherever you are being attacked at with no hesitation. maybe as said above a ping you can do and he will send units there and check it out or say attack and ping and it will send whatever it has to to attack an area.
also maybe commands saying a unit and it will add that unit to its build
so i say hydralisk and itll put some hydralisks into its build rather than just lings and roaches. or sentry and it will put sentries in its army rather than zealots and a few stalkers.
other commands like these that would make it a bit more realistic for a teammate because your teammate would probaby try and get those units if you ask them too and you can make a group attack covering each other weaknesses.

Yeah I brought that up in an earlier post, some help from the AI when under attack would be AWESOME because otherwise there's no sense in having a team mate, I'll just go 1v2 or w.e. 'cause I get ruined if I rely on the Ai team mate for much other than to distract the other teams ai until I'm able to romp em.
I agree with most things said here heh :)
Just by adding something that makes the AI help out when it says "your team mate is under attack" goes really a long way.
Hope we can see a little bit of this in v8 or even maybe 7.5!
