Warzone has just been updated to version 4.21.0! This blog post describes what’s changed.
This update is available now on the website. The iOS and Android apps should be updated to this version within a week or two.
Community Levels AI
When making a community level, you now have the option to switch which algorithms will power the AIs in that level. This gives a lot of new options for community level authors to play with to create more fun and exciting levels!
The AI options are:
- Prod 2.0 Random: This is the AI that was previously used on all levels. This is the default.
- Prod 2.0: This is the same as the above AI, except that it doesn’t allow randomness to influence its actions at all. This is a great choice if you’re making a puzzle level, where you want predictable AI behavior. This wouldn’t be a great choice in a normal level since a smart player could learn to predict what the AI will do, since there’s no randomness.
- Prod 1.0: This is the old version of the WarLight AI, originally written in 2009. Likely not a good choice for a level unless you specifically want a dumb AI, or are trying to re-create some of WarLight’s old levels like the insane challenge.
- Wunderwaffe: An AI written by the player Norman for an AI competition. Tends to be more strategic with its armies and moves than the above options.
- Cowzow: Another AI written for an AI competition.
To change the AI used in your level, press the new “Change AI Type” button under Change Players:
Community Events Improvements
The Community Events list is getting some improvements! This is a list maintained by ps that links to all events community members are running.
This list now gets its own page, and also allows each community event to enter a description and join requirements. This is all in an effort to make joining community events more streamlined.
If you run a community event on this list, please consider coming up with a short description of your event. Just one sentence is enough.
Also, if your event has requirements to join, such as players being a certain level, being in a clan, or specific signup windows, please detail these requirements.
Send these along with your description to ps
