For BBB we decided that if you miss just one turn you go AFK.
At the moment, the way the AI works is that it ignores any existing orders and plays the turn as it would normally do.
Very soon we will change it so that the AI will not change any of your ship orders in the first turn, and I would also prefer it not to spend any of your resources either.
Thanks for your reply, and even before I saw it, I realized what was up: AI takes over as soon as you miss a turn deadline, and does crazy stuff. It’s not like NP missed turn deadlines, which was why I was confused.
It makes sense, and I like it. Obviously, the alpha AI needs some improvement, but that’s already happening. In short I popped off with a bug report without background and way too early.
I really enjoy the richness and fun of this game. Thanks to you and Pea for developing and producing it.
Thanks @kringle. We did change it after your original feedback so that the AI will not take over straight away. Although you will be marked as AI (AFK), the AI will not change your existing orders or make any additional orders for the first turn you miss.
Hmm… the AI took over and changed my orders on the first turn I was AFK. This doesn’t seem right, since you guys said that this was a problem you already fixed?
