no famine for AI - bug?

Postby Apollon » Sun Sep 22, 2002 5:50 pm

i noticed that the AI never suffers from the consequences of famine. i can view the exclamation mark in the status window of their units, but they never seem to lose any HP. is this caused by the nova patch i'm running, or does it also happen in the original EFS?

That phenomenon, as well as a few others, are intended since the AI wasn't developed enough to handle all the different situations.

Some examples:
- AI can build units that require other units as prerequisites without actually having the pre-req units, or the units are not in the city needed.

- AI always has universal warehouse, in fact I don't think it knows what to do with cargo pods aside from capture them :)

- The AI can be flat broke and still support an army of infinite size.

Most of them are pretty harmless, esp. given the less-then-great performance of the AI in most cases.
