[Mod] Queller AI - smarter more humanlike AI for all ability levels
"Your Queller AI is literally best teacher there is when it comes to pure learning how to play this game, especially in basics" - B13, Uber rank #2

This mod is a total overhaul of the AI designed to smooth out the difficulty curve, providing more humanlike challenges that are both easier and harder than the vanilla AI. It features complete support for the Legion Expansion. It does not support Galactic War.

Please ensure that if you use this work you credit Quitch's Queller AI.

INSTALLATION
You should download and install this mod via the Planetary Annihilation: TITANS in-game Community Mods.

RECOMMENDED DIFFICULTY
Below are recommendations for the difficulty you may wish to start on based on what you set the vanilla AI to or your ladder ranking.

When you need to increase the challenge, but don't want to increase the difficulty, give the AI an eco-boost rather than adding more AIs. Not only will this be better for the sim, but will also stop the problem of there being fewer resources to go around for the AI which in turn makes it easier to beat. Alternatively, put the AI into shared armies.

Comparison between vanilla difficulty and Queller difficulty:
| Vanilla | Queller | Eco | | ---------- | ------- | --- | | Normal | Casual | 1.0 | | Normal+ | Bronze | 1.0 | | Hard | Silver | 1.0 | | Relentless | Gold | 0.8 | | Absurd | Gold | 1.0 |
Suggestions based on 1v1 ranked position or challenge sought:
| League | Placement | Difficulty | Eco | | -------- | --------- | ---------- | --- | | Bronze | Low | Bronze | 1.0 | | Bronze | Mid | Silver | 1.0 | | Bronze | High | Gold | 1.0 | | Silver | Low | Platinum | 1.0 | | Silver | Mid | Uber | 1.0 | | Silver | High | Uber | 1.1 | | Gold | Any | Uber | 1.2 | | Platinum | Any | Uber | 1.4 | | Uber | Any | Uber | 1.6 |
Alternatively, trying increasing the local sim speed.

SUBPERSONALITIES
By default, Queller at Uber level will adapt its play to try and suit the system and the opposition it faces. You can use subpersonalities to customise Queller's game to your liking or help it play better where it's making poor strategy choices.
  • 1v1
    • Optimised for 1v1 play
  • Air
    • Builds more air factories
  • Bot
    • Doesn't build vehicle factories
  • Free For All
    • More cautious about engaging in battle
    • Techs earlier
    • Orbital earlier
    • Avoids antagonistic scouting raids
    • Less armies
    • More units in armies
  • Land
    • Uses minimal air factories
  • Orbital
    • Grows its orbital presence faster
  • Platoon
    • Less armies
    • More units in armies
  • Rush
    • Techs late
    • Slower to enter orbital
    • Less likely to build defences
  • Tank
    • Doesn't build bot factories
  • Turtle
    • More likely to build defences at its expansions
    • More likely to build titans
MAP NOTES
The spawn the AI starts in and the profile used can make a big difference, even for symmetrical 1v1s. If you find the AI too easy on a map, try a different spawn point for it. And don't use Bedlam, the AI's forces can't pathfind on this map.

Be sure to follow the recommended number of players for any map.

I'll give this a go later. Only just started playing PA and Titans. The normal Ai is far too easy and dumb and the hard one is far too agressive. Both didnt bother to land a large army on my planet. I'm hoping this mod will make it play how I like. Thanks

It's not that it can't be fixed, it's that it can't be fixed through a mod.
I'm Ant 4 Sep, 2015 @ 12:07pm 
Only tried it for 20 mins. Gold Ai on PAX system.

Good lord instead of the Ai coming to my planet and building one structure and planting 6 units they landed and showed up with a large army and obliterated me. This is more like it great job.

Good to hear :)

I found an issue with silver which means it might not go orbital. I'll be rolling out a fix when the current PTE goes live

I thought those are issues your mod has.
Good work anyway.

Ah, no, it's a breakdown of all AI issues. Some might be because of my mod, others will be hardcoded. If it's identified as something hardcoded I move it into CANTFIX. It's just to try and avoid reports of issues I'm already aware of.

  • Uber will produce more Stingrays when facing a large air threat
  • Uber better limits its Narwhal production
  • Smarter at judging whether ships should be produced from its factories on multi planet systems

I've written up a guide to installing and configuring Queller. A lot of the information is the same as is seen in the original post, but it goes into a little more detail to help get you up and running.

Man I love your AI. Me n a friend used to play against 4 teamed AI, now we can barely handle 2 ubers. Just don't let the AI go unchecked, they can break the game and cause the server to dump your round.

Good to hear. About the love. Not the crash. There were numerous AI crash fixes in the latest hotfix, so hopefully that should resolve those issues.

Version 3.1.1
  • Made some very minor performance optimisations
  • Silver now deploys the Catapult as a defensive measure rather than an offensive one
  • Silver will build the Catapult in response to orbital threats
  • Platinum and Uber only build the Wyrm if they control the skies but there's a lot of AA
  • Corrected a bug that could lead to Bronze and Silver stopping advanced air production
  • Storms will now be correctly included in invasion forces
  • Silver will use more Infernos and Vanguards
  • An enemy with an orbital only presence on a planet will no longer cause inappropriate changes to build orders and unit compositions
  • Fixed an error where Uber would only build the Stingray for AA where an orbital threat existed
  • Silver will use the Stingray even when there's no orbital threat
  • Gold will now correctly form platoons when it has enough Piranhas
  • Gold won't build Piranhas unless there's an enemy surface naval presence
  • Gold no longer produces more Piranhas for scouting than it can use
  • Gold will no longer inappropriately go orbital on naval maps
  • Fixed a bug for Gold, Platinum and Uber where T2 would never be achieved on an all naval multi planet system
  • Fixed some checks preventing a factory being the first building on a new world under certain circumstances

v3.1.2 - 2015/09/21
Hotfix 88163 introduces an issue where the AI cannot tell Dox and Sparks apart so will incorrectly group them.
  • Updated vanilla AI
  • Booms use the new Suicide squad type
