RE: First Ever - SteeMonsters Game Play Analysis (Preview match #2)
I am disappointed with this game. I thought that I would play the games: I would choose my team, choose the places of the monters and then choose whom they would attack, based on the speed and characteristics of each monster.
What I saw was THE PROGRAM, with a weak AI, choosing for me!
There were a few attacks that the target should have been another monster. If I, human being , were playing with the whites, I would have won this game.
For a chess program it took years of development to achieve a medium level of technique. Bridge programs are, till now, very weak players. Magic the Gathering programs are bad players.
Why try to develop an AI to play steemmonsters? Why don't you simply do as Magic On Line does: You choose your deck and you choose the cards to play on each turn and the program only checks if you are playing according to the rules. Of course, the program organizes the tournments and the possible ranking.
I want to play!
I don't want the program playing for me!
This is NOT AI.... not in any way.
I'm sorry i didn't do a good job making that understandable... i'll take this as feedback on how I do these in the future.
This is an animation representation of how the match turned out based on YOUR decisions and your opponent decisions.
From what I understand, this is not AI. It's just the game playing according to the rules. The rules determine that, unless there are abilities in effect that change the attack's target or the opponents' placement, then:
So, even if players could play the game manually, they would have to follow these rules and be subject to these restrictions (can't pick a target and must attack the opponent in front, etc.), and the outcome would probably be the same.
@monsterworld, please correct me if I'm wrong :D .
