Hei! I start making my very first game applet, applet name is fall of france '40.. applet is a wargame between france & her allies and germany.. applet has an gameboard, a 15'15 hexagon map.. gameboard has towns and cities and game pieces with combat factor and movement.. i have never before tryed to do complex ai, some missiles following spaceship but nothing deeper, hmm..is this more complex than chess ??.. so..here is how far i have get, my current main idea for game ai, if you can please send me few ideas, greatly would make me happy.. 1) there is town&cities that ai should conquer or protect with game pieces.. 2) every town&citie has an importance number that gives its priority to ai on protecting and conquering gameboard.. 3) every unit/stack has an importance number that gives its priority to ai to know when to attack unit/stack.. 4) there is different states on game pieces, 1 = protecting a citie :: 2 = available :: to ai to know how to use game pieces.. 5) well.. hmm.. thats about it.. thats how far i have get with my ai..as this is my very first attempt on wargames i need your advises and experience.. so, if you have any experience on similiar projects,please please share that experience.. ::: JariTapio / Helsinki / Finland :::

I feel the first step to any AI project should be a clear description of the behaviors you want to see.

As far as yours... with a 15x15 board, simple scoring, it should be doable with a simple space search. (minimax and the like), depending on the number of pieces that can move each turn...

Thank you for replying..

Please more..

You're either going to have to do your own research or ask more precise questions. What does "please more" mean -- do you want us to program the game for you?

Work out exactly what it is you're trying to do, and then if you have a question someone may be able to help you.
