All AI cheat. It is part of the program, how they cheat is important but they all do.ORIGINAL: Treale
I'm not picking on any particular game, but don't confuse a good AI with an AI that cheats!
Simply not true.
-1 to berto.
You've failed to define "cheat" before saying "no".
Do you mean - instant reactions, production bonus, omniscient view of the galaxy or anything else which might be considered to be a "cheat" (to limit it to a DW contect)? If you examine any one of these and find the equivalents in any other (roughly similar) game , you're nearly guaranteed to find at least one instance of "cheating".
Yes, I think Twitribes is probably right. Writing an epic scale 4x game without any cheating (of any form) by the AI is probably something we won't see for a while.
caveat: I'm referring only to "decent" or better games. I'm sure there's a lot of absolutely crap games out there that don't do any cheating... or much of anything for that matter. I'm sure you can find something on Steam that doesn't cheat at all.
