Version 1.6: Improved AI
Merc TacticsA downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
We are releasing version 1.6 today.
- The Main improvement in this version is the AI:
- The AI has been upgraded with a more flexible algorithm. It is now "task based". There are 3 main attack tasks: stand-off attack, zerg attack and flank attack, along with several other tasks (pick up weapon, investigate noise, patrol, etc.)
- Each task is given a score depending of various factors and the task with the highest score is executed first.
- This make the AI smarter and also more unpredictable.
- Other improvements
- UI improved selection of enemy versus creation of path
- Option to disable selection of path with left button mouse click ( for users that prefer to create path by dragging)
- improve grenade explosion particle effects
- Bug fixes:
- using rotate button and dropping or requiping caused turn to hang
- problems caused when soldier throws grenade and trys to move immediately after
- remember to run cutscene even if first battle is aborted, or restarted
- overwatch decals not displayed when changing position
Game saves are compatible with the previous version
