Strategus AI stuff

[chadz]

- Strategus recruiting changed: every hour it hires applicants. Once hired, you can still be kicked out if the AI thinks there's a better applicant
- if you are not in the battle roster right before the game, don't give up - it kicks people out that have not been active right before the battle (like joining a server on using the website). This means you can still get in.
- the AI will remember your performance. If you do bad, your chances to get hired in the future sink drastically. At the same time, if you do good, you can ask for more money from the AI in the future.

- Sabotaging the AI is not allowed.

AI will be OP
But then again its not that good at getting the right equipment and can't assign a captain and all that stuff, so it might be evened out.

This is freaking awesome, but after a few battles all the ai mercs are going to only be high k/d heroes and no support characters.

It's true, I'm pretty worried about overweighting K/D. There are many more factors affecting it than just skill, or even skill and level.

woah, nice addition

remind me how you were paying your mercs in last strategus, AI is probably more fair than you

[okiN]

K/D was never the only thing we looked at, and overall we paid a lot more than Mercs ever did.

There's just so much a basic AI can do and no more

i payed top scores 1000 you payed them 300, obviously ;)

[okiN]

We paid you 300 or whatever it was near the start of the game. By the time Mercs offered 1000 to top scorers, practically everyone was doing it.

Anyway, it's nothing to do with this thread, so let's not make this conversation any more ridiculous than it already is. We'll see who pays who what as Strat progresses.

But oKin is right: that cheap latvian and I payed people like 150-250 gold.

So does this mean that after a few battles the ai will only recruit the people who had really good k/d ratios before? No one else will get to play?

This will be both uncool for the majority of players and the ai at the same time. Because the ai will end up with armies of only 2h spammers, but it won't have enough 2h weapons for all of those 2 handers. The attackers will then annihilate the defenders that are all using weapons that they have no proficiency with.
