Author's Description from AI ID 245:
ABOUT VNS_Halen_ ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
VNS_Halen_ is a sweet AI for Age of Kings – The Conquerors Expansion. You can use it to test your AI as well as to improve your skills in AOK-TC with many level of difficulty. Besides, it’s a very simple AI which might help beginners-in-scripting to make their own AIs.
VNS_Halen_ is cool at AI-vs-Human games, and it’s good in AIs-war, I think. I’ve tested it (1vs1) with many powerful AIs: Alliance Thunda, Archon, Assaiki, ER_EW, Gensaric, Goths, Kosmos, KnightRush, Mexico, Saiyan, Tiger, The Babyking, VNS_Caesar, VNS_Tarkan, VN Game Development Team, Zycat...
ABOUT HOW TO USE
Just unzip VNS_Halen_.ai and VNS_Halen_.per into folder AI - next to folder age2_x1 (for Example : C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesAge of Empires – The Conquerors ExpansionAI) - then you can select VNS_Halen_ from Single Player/ Standard Game/ Computer.
ABOUT GAME SETTING
Game: Random Map (can play Post-Imp DeathMatch, but best in RM)
Location: Arabia, Mongolia... (all Land location)
Size: fits the number of Players
Difficulty: Moderate or more difficult (should be Hard)
Resource: Standard = Low
Population: 125+ (200 recommended)
RevealMap: Normal better than Explored
Speed: No Problem
Victory: NP (VNS_Halen_ won’t build a wonder (^_^) )
Lock Team: either ON or OFF (checked recommended)
Civilization: Vikings / Huns
(if you play Post-Imperial DM, choose Goths / Huns for him)
(At first I designed VNS_Halen_ for Huns only, but when I nearly finished, I wanted to prove that other civils can defeat Huns. So I picked up Vikings (RM) and Goths (DM). However, after my friends had tested it, they advised me to keep Huns for VNS_Halen_, and I did it. Therefore you can choose Huns for VNS_Halen_ (both RM and DM). If you think my AI is better with another civil, you can send me an email )
ABOUT CHEATS
VNS_Halen_ is nearly a non-cheating AI (it only uses cc-players-unit-type-count 0 to detect resource, and some cc-commands when you send some special taunts to him). If you want it to play harder or extremely harder, chat 11 or 102 to it at the beginning of the game and it will get TAUNT-CHEATS mode: Human-player mode or Super-VNS_Halen_ mode.
HUMAN-PLAYER Mode: chat 11 to VNS_Halen_ in first 5 minutes of the game, he will get the following resources:
- 380 Food + 200 Wood + 50 Gold in Dark Age to get a fast Feudal
- 100 F + 300 W during researching Feudal
- 300 F + 450 W in early Feudal
- 420 F + 450 W + 50 G in middle Feudal
- 400 F + 450 W since researching Castle Age.
Total : 1600 Food + 1850 Wood + 100 Gold = 3550 (too much ?!! But a Hardest Computer get total 8000 Resources – with 2000 each ^^ )
And some other food if you play in Location SCANDINAVIA.
SUPER VNS_Halen_ Mode: I think VNS_Halen_ has the Level of zone-rate 1570->1610 (in HUMAN-PLAYER Mode and Hard-Difficulty) ; if you think it’s too easy for you, chat 102 to VNS_Halen_ in first 90 seconds of the game and do your best to fight the SUPER VNS_Halen_. Super-Mode will get more resource than Human-Player Mode.
(I am ready for hearing somebody call me cheaterGay (>_[Edited on 06/06/08 @ 01:05 PM]

This is a great AI File - for use on open LandMaps
it will play an aggressive Flush, for additional Difficulty you can enable a CheatMode - which makes it harder (a good and smart Way to use Cheats).
It will adapt to the Units its enemy is using.
Also it develops very nicely Camps to gather resources.
It has the strengh to get good results in AI Wars - indicating some Work has gone into it, and that it is able to deal with Opponents on equal Circumstances
I recommend to add this File to every AI Collection it is definately worth the download.
It`s only downfall is that it may be not so good in Team Games[Edited on 04/11/05 @ 04:59 PM]

I can't seem to be able to play with VNS_Halen ....it keeps quiting very early in the game. Is there any special setting that I should be aware of. Many thanks.
-------
as far as i know it plays land-maps.
And allways keep in mind that AIs have certain disadvantages ;).
You can believe me - this one is really strong - and if you think it's not good enough against you, just choose to play against two of them or even more. |

Also, I have tested what happens when removing the line where it surrenders because it isn't viking, and it played the other civs just fine. So, will you remove the "non-viking-surrender-bug"? |

Oh man, that's really a bugged AI... The Vader AI is IMHO much better since it can play more civs
-----
The current (not available) version of VaderAI just plays with about 4 civs anymore - so you wonna tell me that it became worse?
(the available version is much outdated, and i'll update it when i get the time to complete it for all civs)
Of course it is nice to have an AI which plays all civs - because you can use "random civ" then. But to judge this ai, you should use the settings that are suggested by the scripter.
Btw. i have another version of VNS_Harlen which can play with other civs (than vikings) as well. :D (In fact i have about 7 different VNS AIs)
If you want to play against a good ai which can play many different settings ATE is number one anyway. |
