AI suicidal or what?

[Daytripper]

Hello all,

I don't know if this was reported anywhere, so I thought I'd just ask.

It happened a couple of times now the AI is antimattering itself and healing me, where as otherwise I might have lost.

It works like this:

I cast aflatoxin. Enemy creature dies and becomes maglinent cell. Cell multiplies.
Enemy casts antimatter nymph. Antimatter nymph starts anti mattering, specifically targeting the cells.

And to be clear the cells are not of my side... They would have been attacking me.

Is the AI ''confusing'' the cells with regular attackers?

My guess is that the ai has been programmed to use CC on malignant cells to clear their board, the ai however, does not always see any difference between reverse timing them, killing them, damaging them or antimattering them (or so it seems, since it's all CC). So I would guess that's why they antimatter their own cells.

Though of course, the ai isn't supposed to do so with antimatter (or reverse time for that matter)

My only guess with this is that the AI views the Malignant Cells as a threat and therefore deals with them in the exact same manner that it would with a creature the player owns.  But this is amusing nonetheless.

It's been reported in a few topics I think. It'd be great if this was sorted soon. It needs to be implemented that AIs can recognise the effects of the different control cards. for example, you have 2 titans. They should freeze then shockwave one, rather than freeze one, then shockwave the other.

Ah yes, was just wondering. The AI does not recognize anything... Antimattering was just put in the wrong folder I guess. I think you have to write a procedure for all those possibilties. The more scripts, the easier it can go wrong...

Scarabs rarely eat same side malignant cells, while I believe otys do... So no clue how it was programmed.
