[The AI in QB maps]

Recently, in the FI forum, some of us were sharing our experience of programming the AI Nox Vidmate VLC when designing QB maps.

This is an interesting topic that I think should be immortalised in its own thread

I've put my own meagre experimentation first (because it was first in that particular thread chronologically), but @kohlenklau has observed the behaviour of the AI much more scientifically; and I know there are others on the forum (including experienced designers like @benpark) who have also carefully observed how the AI allocates AI groups to forces.

I'm much lazier, I just playtest them, and if I have fun I give it a tick

So I am working on a scenario where I have the defending AI with a mixed regular Syrians and insurgents force. I give them three different zones with occupy victory points. I play test the scenario, hit cease fire and the two objectives occupied by regular Syrian troops score VPs normally but the third objective occupied by insurgents scores zero points.

If I replace insurgents with regular Syrians the third location scores VPs normally.

Is this a known issue? And can someone think of an existing SF2 scenario that has both regular Syrians and insurgents on the same side?

It is probable that I am not doing something right but I double checked several times.

let me know when you finished i'd like to see the good work

I'm really interested in what some of you more analytical designers have learnt, so I can apply it to my own maps
