Why aren't the AI functions included in the tutorial? For a long time I didn't even know that the "go to" command could be placed on another body so one followed the other, and someone who is new to the game certainly won't know.

I bet it's because the follow command fails epicly.
Example: I place DD Brainbot and DD Elite. I select DD Elite and tell him to follow the brainbot. I switch control to brainbot. DD Elite gets an unexplainable speed boost and head-rocket-bumrushes brainbot. I die. Game Over.

Well... I works well if they're going towards your enemy base and all that, or digging.

I bet Data didn't put it in since Tutorial is old and is basics and go-to is new and complicated.

I figured that the new AI stuff was kind of obvious, all you have to do is hold the left trigger and go "oh hay wuts this button dOOOoooO?" and you'd have Go to, Sentry, Brainhunt, and dig....

Unfortunately the Go To and sentry are the only ones that work correctly. And even then sentry (default) is iffy.

I think a tutorial involving the AI Options should honestly wait until they all work. Although I have found that if you give an actor a digger, and Go To, it works better for getting gold than simply telling them to dig.




Or are you talking about tutorials for including activities that order the computer player to use specific AI?

i agree, i told one of the dummyz on the tutorial bunker to dig and he dug out my enttire base with a heavydigger. i got about 56 oz from that major dig.

Don't use the heavy digger, use the shovel.

The shovel, while slower, can destroy the 'mega metal' that is in the bunker pieces. Dear god it destroys things fast.
