Davidu Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I found again this old 3D strategy-action game. Basically you PROGRAM your units to do things :D So the units are going to be as smart as you code them to be, which is great. About 10 years ago I played a demo of this and it was amazing. Now I found it again and it costs 75 Swiss Francs. That mean 60 euros. That means almost 80 USD !!! Have any of you played this or anything similar? Edit: this is the link. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Paladin Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hidden and Dangerous 1 & 2Icewind Dale 1 & 2 (and presumably Baldur's Gate too)Dragon Age 1 & 2None is an RTS but they all allow you to control a small group and can play like a mini-rts at times. Also AI in most games is written in some scripted language so it's not difficult to edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidu Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 The thing is the game is about coding those units... What you're saying is modding one or another. Nothing wrong with that, just not the issue I was interested in. Still, why the ridiculous price? I don't get it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I'm positive that programmable robots are an entire genre on its own, but I'm not very familiar with it. MobyGames places Colobot in the programming games group, so I guess you could start there.Also, Robot Odyssey might also belong to the variety you're interested in but I can't be sure since I haven't played it. There are two freeware remakes of Robot Odyssey, Droid Quest and Gate.Also, take a look at what Aternative To as to offer for Colobot.

Spectral Paladin Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The games I mentioned all let you script your units from within the game, no modding required. You could make some really elaborate scripts if you were so inclined, although admittedly far from essential to succeeding. And I just pointed out that if you really like programming AI you don't have to pay that ridiculous price :P The thing is the game is about coding those units...
