Masochist, more than evilIs it evil enough to be a scenario?
Always peace. I like.
The challenge in SGOTM / BOTM / HoF etc is the other teams / players etc not the AI surely. I think Immortal might frighten off some players.Going lower than Immortal i would consider a huge step back..
It's difficult making AIs challenging for the top teams on Imm. already.
I agree with everything you say - but I think people don't understand that until they join, it's about getting them through the door first ...Teams are stronger than single players, a group of ~Monarch players could easily win Immortal together esp. cos you usually get 1 higher level player joining.
So what's the goal with dropping diff.?
Frightened players? Makes not much sense for me, team spirit raises with challenges.
And frightened about..? They know they will not be as fast as teams like TSR or Ducks anyways, no reason to be scared of anything.
An idea I've been thinking about is a map where we have to ensure a certain AI survives, such as Gandhi, when the certain AI is surrounded by warmongers that hate the certain AI. Maybe even handicap that AI, no strategic resources, and all the warmongers have some very close by.
FYI, the scenario planned for SG21 has some of this.... Basically some inter-connectivity or codependency with AI(s). ...
