Original post by SpittingTrashcan Regarding the training idea, I believe there is an RTS out now which has a soldier-training system. Can''t remember the name for the life of me, but it has a fantasy/far east sort of setting if that helps. Apparently one cannot produce troops with a barracks, or peasants with a town hall; instead, peasants spawn periodically and you can then tell them to work or to go to a training hall to become soldiers. You can then send them to other schools to learn special abilities, but this takes more time and money...
That isn''t really the same thing - ewiar was talking about interactively teaching the AI, the system above is just an alternative approach (and slightly less unrealistic approach) to the Build Barracks Build Soldier paradigm.

Exactly. What I meant was that your units would learn the tactics that you yourself use when manually playing the game. It wouldn''t neccesarily increase any of their in-game ratings but they''d be a lot smarter and better able to fend for themselves. The units that had only gone through basic training would be cannon fodder- patrol them right into the enemy''s base and hope for the best. The more advanced units would be more valuable because of the time invested in them and because you could send them on more complicated missions. What Spitting Trashcan was talking about was just a slightly longer more complicated version of the barracks. Instead of spending gold, mana or whatever you had to spend time to create your units. Bad units weren''t cheaper now they were just faster to make. Slightly better but not really what I was talking about.
