Is there any plan from the dev teams side on fixing the AI ? I was moving up in a trench, but my stupid AI squad decided to run outside of the trench … every single one of them.
Im trying my best to keep my idiot bots alive, but they really try their hardest to avoid any kind of cover.
I run into the same issue you get them into a location or run down a trench and they just seem to want to get shot and killed no matter what. But having usable AI squad mates seems to scare DF so probably not.
Yeah I would say the game has come VERY far from just a few months ago with the Silver Econ changes and adding new weapons, maps, and changes to gameplay (especially conquest). The biggest needs are AI improvement and QoL improvements. The most dreaded f*cking thing is all the time it takes to change individual soldiers gear. I realize there is no GOOD answer for this but something needs to be done to make it easier to equip and manage squads.
One improvement would be adding a sidebar with soldiers in the equipment menu, so you can directly switch to the next soldier, instead of backing up, selecting a soldier and entering the equipment screen.
My bots have gained sentience
One in my squads usually pushes way ahead of me for some reason…surprisingly it sometimes works nice lol, as you are already half flanking when your main dude dies…but often they just run in and die for nothing
They also use up medkits for tiny boo boos…when I run health upgrade and knockdown chance and never use them before I get knocked down lmao. They also LOVE to “GET DOWN MR PRESIDENT” for the enemies I’m about too shoot by running in front of my gun. And AT or AA? Forget it, they are inspecting the inside of the barrel from the front every single time almost.
But it really is crazy to see your own dude be like 75m ahead of you for once lmao
I order them away when im using AT weapons for exactly that reason & that seem to do the trick. But really the AI seem to be alergic to trenches & taking cover in general.
