I tried out the new AI today and it does seem more efficient. It also seems to have given me more time before it started attacking me. When I revealed their side of the map I could see a ton of workers and much less troops than last time. Here is their base: So it looks pretty good. That is a ton of workers but they don't send a massive army to me 5 minutes in, and I was able to defeat their first attack (though it is still a nice challenge)For some reason it decided to move like 100 units at once, and you could see every unit scrambling around to find it's appropriate path so that's when I saw a bit of a lag spike, but it is certainly an improvement from my last game when the AI caused a lot of choppiness later on in the game.

Thanks for the writeup in this thread of the Aegis Bot. I am looking to help with this part of the development so it is really nice to see a well established ai. I have not contributed to any open source project so this will be my first time but I have worked with AI before, but never on an RTS. Don't expect much from me but I look forward to learning how the current AI works and hopefully I can start helping in some aspect. I have played against it a few times and it is going well I see!

Hello all this is by far my favorite open source project so I decided to make an account here. I had an idea that I couldn't find already in the suggestions here. If you have played the RTS called company of heroes at one point you know by dragging the mouse while holding the right mouse button you can change the direction your units will be facing when they arrive at wherever you are sending them. I think if this isn't already in the works it would be a very useful feature so you can make sure your units arrive how you want them to. At times it is hard to preposition your units in battle without this feature. That is my suggestion! I hope to contribute on the programming side of things too once I get more familiar with the codebase as this would be my first time working on open source project.
