The requirements for the AI-script are as follows:
* Each general shall effectively be able to use at least 5 different types of tanks/vehicles (excluding dozers) that are exclusive to that general.
* Each general shall be able build at least 4 different types of combat-infantry (anti-tank, machinegun, commando, terrorist...)
* Each general shall effectively be able to use at least three different types (exclusive for that general) of aircrafts (fighters, bombers and helicopters) NOTE: This only applies to generals who have access to air units. NOTE2: For the air force general the conditions are that ALL but (4) of the available air-units shall be workable.
* Each general shall effectively build all exclusively available structures (however, the Naval yard is an exception.)
* Each general shall make use of their special weapons (superweapons)
* Each general shall make use of their special powers. Must not be ALL, but almost.
* Script must be free of severe bugs.
* Shall be optimized to work on HARD and the AI should be that - HARD!. For Option Normal and Easy you can just use the original EA ZH scripts.* Script shall work on official maps as well as AI enabled 3:rd party maps.
If you like you can add support for naval-building (with custom maps) or even create your own campaigns! I will reward your efforts if they contain quality suitable for the mod!
That is about it! If you are interested, send me an e-mail with some information of your previous experience and why you think you will be able to pull this of. You will then receive a fresh copy of the current (private) version of DF and from there it's all up to you. NOTE! If you are new to scripting, please don't bother with this contest before you know how to script the AI in ZH!
The contest will be open until the end of August. The winner will be the one that provides the best gameplay and features -wise AI script. Money will be transferred to your paypal account or something similar. You will also be heavily credited in the DF credits!
I will not announce a winner from a half-decent AI-script even if there were no better ones supplied! More cash may be paid if the script is exceptional!
The winning script will of course be used in the final version of DF!
Uh... Maybe you should post this on the DF Mod page, people rarely check the creator's profile for news, simply because it never occured to them. Plus, it helps to keep the mod community going by providing reassurences that you're still alive.
P.S. : Everything is exceptional other than the A.I., so that's all that's needed to be tweaked.
