Suggestions for AI Improvements in Future Updates

[Furio]

This is an interesting thread, with many good ideas.

In my opinion, however, we should pose ourselves a simple question: why all these good ideas aren’t already implemented? As far as I know is because they’re anything but easy, and the most difficult issue is about decisions.

An “AI” reacts according to a string of possibilities, strictly predefined. If there is any deviation from what is predefined, AI will not take any decision, or will take the wrong one. For this reason, I suggested some sort of time out and some simple tools to allow the one and only human mind in offline missions – the player – to take decisions. I understand that is not a perfect solution, but it represents a progress, perhaps in the only viable direction.

Of course, I appreciate the effort of all other people here. This thread is a sort of brainstorming session, and something useful should come out of it.
