BO vs Sorian AI

[Aemaeth]

We played two games against bots (Sorian AI both times) and the bots didn't build any BO units. I know BO has Sorian support, but is it working in FAF?

How many times am I going to have to fix this?

That’s strange because in the last game I played using BO and Sorian AI, the AI built BO custom units. Both AI’s were Aeon faction and as well as building many T1-T2-T3 BO units they also built 3 types of Experimentals.

I may have a different instalation than you as I am running three BO mods from the normal forged alliance part of the server, not the BO devoted server.
Therefor I run the mods from C:\Documents and Settings\roger\My Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\Mods. Whereas you may be running the NEW BO mod from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\FAForever\gamedata.
I'm on XP so a win7 install will use different folder names but same is true.

Hmmm... I don't say I have the BO install completly solved because when the AI does build BO units it has a less efficient economy and a weaker attack. Also the game speed is slower at the 1hr mark.

I managed to get blackops working with sorian AI just fine. However, one odd thing was that it loved to spam t3 transports and lead them to their deaths. (So, it can be improved).

BO and Sorian AI works fine for me. I saw him using the Cybran BO experimentals, trying to wipe my base out. He doesn't seem to know how to change into artillery mode though. Hmm

Thats because we only provided code to allow Sorian's AI to swap our units into existing platoons. The AI still lacks the specialty code to understand how to use advanced tactics. Several units were not included in the AI's tables because of this reason. For example we can let the AI build the Teleport Bot from BO:SpecWep but the AI doesn't understand how to make it teleport because it was never coded to use a teleporter (even on the ACU/SCUs)
