( RAW UNEDITED NOTES from a Twitch Live Stream)
Note: ResonanceBot or 'Resbot" is Resonance22's Age of Empires Artificial Intelligence(AI)
- RESONANCE22 INTERVIEW and STREAM NOTES:
- Resonance22 is Talks While Streaming a DE Resbot Test Game
- best AIs tell a story, put a castle in the middle of your trade line. it lost but ....
- difference in difficulty levels:
- they take relics at different rates
- have a hard limit on how many resources they can send each other
- exclusive content << pretty stupid A's and the mods crash all the time
- "cyclical balance" maybe the win rates are better between the civs
- Blog post author asks:
@Resonance22 if resbots have a hard limit on how much they tribute each other wouuld that not limit them if the game goes on very long?
Resonance22:
It's on a timer system that loops.
- Some thigns are hard coded in there
- Hardest gets a bit of extra resources, it's not that much,
- on hard it
- they all sotp after a scert point
- a lot of failsafes built in to keep it from getting stuck into a 6 hour game.
- it does tone itself down a notch.
- i don't like players feel llike they're making no progress
- basically if u survive past 90 minutes it does not drop off a lot after that.
- Other stream viewer: @Resonance22 what are your expectations of AOE4?
- I am "cautiously optimistic "
- but MS can not afford to mess this up
- MS does rush releases sometimes though
- i hope it will be good
- similar to aoe2 is good
- i wish it were in aoe1 timeline
- I just want to see more games with the greeks
- I love AoM
- "i dont want them coming into this witha stupid trilogy mindset" < what did he mean
- dont buy into the hype train for everythign you see
- i learned this the hard way with Aoe2 DE and aoe1 DE
- I will do content on AoE4
- clearlly taking their time is the best news you could possibly give me
- them taking their time to do something is a good thing
- conntent creators will make content on aoe4 whether or not it's good
- it makes money
- I wont mllk aoe4 if it turns out to be mediocre
- if it's great i will do a lot
- i hope to see the series return to it's roots
- i've heard it will
- reasonable
- easy for noobs
- and enough depth for experts
- nothign will replace aoe2
- but it' is not supposed to replace aoe2
- but it's going to be a good RTS game
- DE did not replace Voobly
- the reason the RTS gener is dead is because RTS games are too difficult to produce
- i wouldn't ay it's dead, it's hibenrating
- nostalgia is very big nowadays
- at some point i would expect to see a resurgance
- not a renaissance but an electros wing of rts games
- we see games like
- celeste, cave story
- celeste is top 100 on metacritic and this speaks a volume to the indutsty
- i would not be surprised an indie rts game be the best reviewed in 10 years
- but that would only be one game
- "too much strategy, too much to learn"
