AI terrain affinity

Post by white_haired_uncle »

I'm creating fire elemental units. They will heal when over lava, and maybe get a damage bonus or something. I'd like to inform the AI that this unit should have an affinity for lava, but I'm not really finding anything. Best I can think of is to give the unit a good defense on unwalkable. Better ideas? Am I missing something?

In situations like this, from the scenario design side, I would add "micro AI lurker" to them if I were you. This would make them prefer lava terrain for movement, attacking from, etc.

Thank you. I searched a couple of the AI pages for "terrain", I must have overlooked that one. That looks better than I had hoped.
