Zycat A.I for Retribution v1.1 Released !

Grab it here :

Setup (.exe) version : Down
Zipped version : https://rapidshare.com/files/3569208250/Zycat_A.I_1.1.zip

Instructions : Just extract to your Dawn of War II : Retribution folder and run the "Launch ZycatAI.exe" file.

Alternatively you may load it manually using command line.

I think performance took a hit, most noticeable on slower machines. This is normal because I lowered the "reaction time" of the A.I. Let me know if you find some bugs.

Features :
- Better economy.
- Better unit selection.
- Better tactics.
- Better use of player abilities.
- Less chance for setup teams to move around too quickly.
- Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert A.Is have their own personality. No longer is Easy is just an easier Medium or Medium is just an easier Hard. Each difficulty now have their own quirks such as Easy does not capture any points earlier on and Medium going for victory points in the very beginning of the match and rushing the enemy.
- Slightly different rules for different races.
- Different rules for 1v1, Team Games (2v2/3v3), and FFA/Team FFA.

Bugfixes :
- No more spore mines built.
- Heroes switching around wargears all the time (with bought wargears)

Known bugs :
- Can't repair effectively unless somehow the vehicle is parked near a repair-capable squad.
- Can't worship (the game crashes everytime I tried to make cultists worship)
- Can't infiltrate (same case as worshipping)
- Can't use any abilities bestowed by wargears with the exception of abilities bestowed by Retinues (Lord General). As far as I know this is the limitation with the engine itself.
- Space Marines will use the Drop Pod ability as a "bomb" not as a reinforcement.
- Lord General won't use the Heavy Turret ability because I could not find the rbf file for the ability. Any ideas?

  1. I cant get this to work!
    First: Installer created one of an blank shortcut on desktop that cant be erased because its not there. (The blank shortcut claims to be in C:\Users\Public\Desktop whereas the correct path would be C:\Users\Myusername\Desktop ; Btw Win7 here)
    And when i run Launch ZycatAI.exe crashes to desktop with relic send error-report screen.
    Any idea why its not working ?

  2. I used the zip instead, the installer seems to be borked.

  4. Hey this has nothing to do about your blog but i tried emailing you with both my emails at zycat@sourceforge.net (or something along those lines).

    Well on the wc3 AI version 2.90 i get an error saying it cant start war3 after it finds it and it fails to extract. Do you know any fixes?

  5. Do you have a separate mirror for this? Rapidshare isn't the best for some of us... perhaps Mediafire? Quite interested in trying this out.
