Adventure: AI commands
« on: June 12, 2016, 01:03:33 pm »

Having played Adventure a lot lately, I can say that the most frustrating thing is dealing with allied AI, be it managing their inventories or their overconfidence against certain enemies. I would love the ability to, for example, tell my allies to run away from a bronze colossus, rather than rushing headlong at it, or to ask them to exchange equipment (within reason; giving them a better weapon or something of the sort). There's already precedent for commands like that: the "Wait here" command. The only command I can come up with off the top of my head is "flee from enemies", so if anyone has other ideas, post them here - I guess this can be a brainstorming topic for this kind of thing.

They can do whatever the heck they want. That's why they are nobles, cause they CAN.
King Henry the IV or something had a lot of wives, most of whom he executed. Because he could.
A ton of them mass-murdered Jews and Muslims. CAUSE THEY COULD.
A roman emperor made his horse a noble, cause he could.
And I modded them all out of existence, because I could.
