[zzc]

Does ai always need pre placed buildings to start? all I put on the map is 2 workers and the 2 heroes. It wont start building.

no syntax errors in checker.
resource is set to 100k each, gets replenished via trigger

Maybe the AI has no idea where to build, eg there is no town to build at.

 

[zzc]

ai is so rigid

The ai builds in circles, outwards from a gold mine.

How does the chaos orcs in the final tft human mission function?? they only chop wood... but have preplaced buildings.

I was trying to imitate that one.

Anyway I moved it away from its ally base - apparently ai dont like building too near each other.... more so if theres alot in build list.

If 2 allied ai workers are trying to build in the same spot, everything stops.

 

[ZiBitheWand3r3r]

if there's gold mine nearby they will start build

 

[zzc]

yea i guessed that too. anyway it works now but a different problem.
