More then a Game?

[lgsptlnd]

I'm a some time poster on TheBlitz and recently got into that discussion on TheMatrixBoard regarding improving the AI. I personally played vs. AI for the same reason I snapped up one of the first computer chess games that came out. The challenge of beating "the machine". It was very difficult for the average guy to out-analyze "the machine" in a computer chess match. Sadly, it didn't take long to realize that there were too many variables in CS to expect a similar level of competition from the AI. A flank attack out of the woods against rear line artillery apparently doesn't register like knight to queen four.

But I continue to play the AI for a number of reasons. As mentioned in the TheMatrix responses...it's quick for one.

And over the years, I've noticed the amount of discussion on TheBlitz regarding cheating, with additions to the new version to reduce or combat it. Well, the AI doesn't comprehend cheating...which means I don't have to contend with that crap.

So as far as changes to the game go...yes, it'd be nice to have a stronger AI for those who play it but no, not at the expense of the overall integrity of the game.

Still gamin. Love your site. Thanks for all your work.
