Hello Everyone,
I have been playing Zatikon for a few weeks now. The one thing I have wanted the most was a way to try out the random deck games but vs CPU. I think this could be fun for all and help newbs like me learn more about all the units in a quick and easy way.
While probably a challenge for experienced players, or players who cheese single player with hydra and changlings(like me), I think this would probably be more frustrating than it's worth; you can expect to lose against the AI all the time with a randomized army. IT also might detract from the feeling of 'progression' as people earn gold to add new units to their army.
But I suppose that it might be useful for players who aren't brand new(they would undoubtedly be frustrated by the format) but aren't particularly experienced either. I suppose it might also be less frustrating than being crushed in random, or 'shocked' when an AI unit does something you were unfamiliar with.
Could implement into a Rand AI that you get "super" units too
Norsker, your under rating what would most likely happen. If anything, the human side would be significantly easier if same # of points are used. It's not going to be like it is currently in random:
Human 1000 pts AI:25 1000, AI:50 2000 AI:100 4000? AI: 150 8000?!?
-----------
Anyhow, the above formula isn't correct, but the % of points per human to AI would be the best way to assert random points given to each side. I would propose something like this:
(keep in mind this would only pertain to a new game mode, NOT RANDOM)
AI
Lvl.1 1 = 25% points of human
Lvl.25 = 50% pts human
Lvl.50 = 100% pts human
Lvl.75 = 150% pts human
Lvl.100 = 200% pts human
Lvl.150 = 400% pts human
Lvl.200 = 800% pts human
