AI doesn't use Eternity skill https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=41112.msg509186#msg509186

Has anyone else noticed that AI doesn't use Eternity to take creatures from the field?
I played with a Dune Scorpion deck against arena, my opponent had Eternity but AI did not take my scorpion from the field for eternities.

The AI doesn't usually use eternity unless it has a few extra time quanta beyond 3, like 4 or 5.  Also, certain creatures are considered 'too crappy' to rewind.  For example, I was playing a game yesterday where I had a bunch of stupid creatures from shard of serendipity, like graviton guard, schrodinger's cat, etc, and the AI had a bunch of rewinds in hand (precognition showed me them) but wasn't using them until I drew some better creatures, and then it started spamming them.  Since dune scorpion is fairly small in stats, the AI probably thought it was 'too crappy' to bother with.  I'm sure there's a formula for the AI to determine which creatures are the biggest threat, and whether it is worth rewinding something.  Players do the same thing, too; if you know/suspect your opponent has dragons in their deck, and they start with photons, you might often wait before using eternity/rewind.  The AI just isn't as good at it :p

The AI evaluates a situation and uses a RNG to determine if it should or should not do an action. The evaluation modifies the probability.

Aka: It may or may not use Rewind.

i guess it takes into account photon-bouncing as well. i've faced a couple AI4s that did that to get me to deck out.

something else i've noticed is that it will rewind a critter just before it can attack again once it's been stunned by the time shield. does the AI factor in annoyance to decide when to rewind a critter?

also, never play flying weapons against time. [/don't ask]

ugh, at the risk of repeating myself....
"^ why didn't i think of that?"

I've never seen the AI rewind a delayed or frozen creature, so I'm pretty sure it takes that into account.  After all, it would generally do no good to rewind one.

It does in a few exceptions, like vs GP-ed + BB-ed Voodoo Dolls :p
