ROTG 1.70 Changelog
--FEATURES--
Artificial Intelligence has now been included allowing for solo games of ROTG!
Any combo can now be done including:
4 AI vs 4 AI
1 Human, 3 AI vs 1 Human, 3 AI
2 Humans, 2 AI vs 4 AI
etc.
You can now play with any number of computer players that will function in both duel mode and teamplay mode. (Deathmatch)
The AI will take over from any leavers and itself can be taken over by watching referees.
The ability to turn the AI on and off for your team has been included for players who prefer to control leavers
themselves.
The AI will buy items including advanced decision making so item builds are more random from game to game, although each
hero has their own... [Read More]

Hey folks,
I have created a working prototype for the AI in both duel mode and teamplay mode now and it does actually play both the games to a half-way acceptable level.
I am now moving into resolving the bugs, testing the systems, making it smarter and so on.
The problem is, the "smarter" you make the AI, the more code required, and the greater lag it will generate.
That said the AI at the moment is not exactly basic, it will not only buy items, but each hero has their favourites and the buying order is not fixed, 1 time a hero might buy a few mercs, a hammer and so on, another time it might buy a perminant item, or perhaps an upgrade for it(!)
The AI now also reacts to friends under attack, and to a limited extent, the Ritual game.

 Artificial Intelligence! |

Hello everyone, thought i'd let you know im actively developing AI for ROTG.
This will mean you will be able to play games of ROTG in both teamplay and duelling mode solo with all computer players.
It will also mean the AI can take over from leavers in both modes.
Options will also exist to disable/enable the AI for your team if you prefer to manually control the leaver heroes and get their resources channeled to your human players instead.
This is obviously quite a major change and hopefully will come off. While not being as smart as human players ironically the AI actually plays better than humans in duel mode and at least it dosn't quit.

| ROTG 1.61 + Host Bot |

Since I share my network and am unable to utilise the upload bandwidth as much as i'd like ive archived up the hosting bot, along with the config files and the maps im using.
For those of you who'd like to host it this may help.
You will of course need to edit the ghost.cfg file with your warcraft install directory, cd keys, bnet account etc.
Use the included readme if you need help with the hosting bot.

I have almost finished re-working the Hero spells in the next version of ROTG.
Every single hero spell has had some attention and the changelog is huge so far!
The new version will close a lot of elusive memory leaks and introduce some new heroes and powers.
Ive done some extensive re-balancing of the heroes (especially the tank classes) and am startng to test some of the new changes now.
