AI and Lack of Vision

Just a quick question I didn't notice info for in the wiki. I was wondering, does anyone happen to know how the AI would react to its own vision being turned off? Does it ignore that? etc.



None.

All I can say is test it.



None.

If you go up near it it will follow you (if you're it's enemy) but it won't attack unless you attack it (giving it 'vision', like how it reveals a siege tank that hurts you from far off)



None.

Thanks for the input. I really have no reason to use it... it just came to me. So now I wonder if they can run melee AI well without vision, for instance. If not, you could perhaps have a separate player with map revealers and shared vision so that it'd only build in or attack at certain places.

If it's true they don't attack at all unless you attack them, then it might be an interesting way to make an allied comp that would more readily attack you if you hurt it, and yet would also fight another player if they shot it (ie., one with vision to see the blind comp). So basically you might be able to lure some comps in to fight alongside you. Of course, you should be allied to your "ally" comp.

NudeRaider -- I bet it just needs another training session against pros instead of only against itself and nobody will be able to stop it anymore.

so it can be beaten by a prepared pro, even in macro games, if only barely. the muta micro in particular seems really hard to handle for protoss ground though. In the open goons can't catch them, in the base they trip over buildings, it just instantly flies out of storms and they fly circles around archons. Mass cannons do work, but can't cover the whole map with it. Probably need mass corsair to counter and hope you can outmaneuver all the scourge.
