markshot Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I've played CMBO/CMBB/CMAK. I only play single player and for the most part have stuck to user designed scenarios. I got the impression that the quality of game play (single player) for well crafted user designed scenarios was way ahead of quick battles. My question: Will CMC simply use COMPUTER PLACEMENT FREE to set up units that is built into the CMBB engine or will it go beyond that and generate better quality battles than are normally found when one plays quick battles with free computer placement? I appreciate the operational aspect of the game, but I would like know that the actual individual CMBB battles themselves will be worthy investments of playing time. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Battles are generated with your units in setup zones in those areas of the map in which they are located on the big operational map. So if you enter a "tile" from the south, you will be able to setup your units in that area, while a defending player will be able to setup where his forces are located. CMC is pretty smart in figuring out where your units and the enemy units should be. Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markshot Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 Moon, To be sure I understand you. The setup placement of individual AI units in the CMBB for an attack or defense will be determined by the CMC AI component and not CMBB's COMPUTER FREE TO PLACE units? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 CMC determines where the setup zones will be, and within those, CMBB's OpAI will determine the actual unit placement (except when you're playing against a human, in which case he'll obviously be responsible for the final unit placement).

Kellysheroes Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 So there's basically two ai's at work, one for the setup zone and then one for the actual placement of the units within that zone. Sounds good to me, when's the release? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
