this channel is really underrated and has too few subs and views, gonna share them to give it a bit more attention

i dont know anything about coding or programming but im quite curious about how you make them, can you (in english) tell us how the marine split micro is done, or maybe give us a glance of ur code? :D

Thanks for ur support, ParanoidParadox, as well as almost everyone else :D

For the marine split micro, basically, each time a Baneling gets close to a Marine (cant remember the exact numbers), the AI will issue an order to the Marine to flee towards the best point. The AI has quite a complicated algorithm in calculating the location of the point, but basically Micro AI will calculate the safest angle based on the units around the Marine then get the Marine to move towards the point away from the Baneling.

This is similar to some of the other scenarios as well, such as Vikings vs Battlecruisers.

If you guys want me to explain anything else, tell me :D

Is this Tactical AI or straight Galaxy? Or GUI?

If it's Tactical AI it can be implemented in melee. I'm actually very interested in replicating the viking micro for my private campaign. But I also like to conditionalize stuff so it doesn't waste energy/cpu for nothing (no point trying to kite wraiths or gunships in my campaign for example). The vanilla melee AI is insanely wasteful on CPU so performance as been a huge focus for the last 6 years.

Currently we have tactical AI for smarter ravens and some other stuff (basic things, like more aggressive missiles, backing away once expending mana, etc) but we're far from experienced scripters and have been picking it up as we go along. Our solution is far superior to melee for campaign environments right now, but I don't have any tactical AI examples to go off of besides vanilla stuff for all of our new units/races.
