Summary	0001159: [4.029] Defender mode needs it's own AI Type.
Description	Alright, been fooling around with Defender mode and noticed that AI types are getting applied. As I play Random All, this means my experience has ranged from pathetically easy to impossible. Sledge hammer AI Type = 0000452:0000700 ships at the 4 minute mark. To test, I specifically picked Shield Ninny for both AI Types next game. I never got attacked at all, easiest win ever. :( To avoid the confusion of everyone saying that this or that AI Type should be Defender allowed, I suggest that the Defender mode have it's own specific AI type that is only used for Defender type games. Defender mode is pure survival, most of the AI's tricks don't work in this mode anyway.

Chris_McElligottPark Nov 8, 2010 8:36 am administrator ~0002904	One major goal of defender mode is to have it able to use most of the features of the main game; though sometimes that would make things really hard or easy, etc. Having it limited to a single AI type is definitely not a goal. It's basically working as intended.
