CAI learn to eco!

hm, is it possible to make cai make energy grids properly?.. at least tell em to make fusions next to mexes, this would help them grow in diffulty over time, cuz they just get rolled once all mexes are taken

And also use strider fac after 15 min. And maybe antis.

hadn't noticeed excess, ive seem them just stalling.. but if they simply excess with more income, obviously that needs to be fixed too

Well I think it's more important to teach nubs not to make random stardusts/fusions/OD properly/not to exxcess...
Don't bother about CAIs....

CAI is effectively a noob training programme, there is plenty of benefit in making it as dangerous as possible.

Why not?

Why not just make 2 levels of CAI, useless stuff spamming version and pro version. Weaker cai would do crazy stuff to give newbies chance, no protectors, tons of useless fusions, no air swich and so on. Then there would be pro version using air fac swich, protectors, maybe some grid too so that it would be a good opponent to better players, as they usually end up with porcing and nuking cai when not able to win. This way, players could also practice emping antis and all that stuff that we dont see that often.

+1 for allowing an APM limit to be toggled hard or easy, but with smart ai

Yeps, plus there's already ways for players to make CAIs easier. Just lower the game speed or pause when there's lots of things happening at once, like Floris suggested in his Eco vs CAI tutorial. I'd rather see time spent on improving guides and tutorials, than on limitting CAI in any way. That's probably more of a help for beginners.
