hello my name is idiot the battlemage. I am capable of safely shooting through the player, who is currently standing in a chokepoint. perhaps I should stand in a place where I have LoS of the enemies and shoot them whenever possible
no actually I would rather flip back and forth between these two tiles, one of which has no LoS on the enemies, for no humanly understandable reason. also I will walk past the player towards enemies in a suicidal fashion all the time ok thanks hope you enjoy :)

AI in this game is borked. It’s clearly very simple. I would kill for an advanced AI designer for this game. You can abuse the AI behaviors super hard with Freezing cloud for example. They usually just wont step into the cloud, giving you a wall that enemies wont pass. Also, you can create death runs that enemies won’t enter until you place a cloud on top of them, then, instead of running out of the cloud, they run directly towards you and die while running.
That exploit is how I got my first win.

Wouldn’t advanced AI just make all chars without fullscreen damage die to the first centaur they find?
Sil had archers that would run aways and their packs would even split so you could only chase one. It’s very annoying

Also imagine orc wizards always lead with confuse so your character rarely gets the chance to run away first, and then the orc priest spam smite so you don’t even have a chance to wait out the confuse.

Well I imagine we would need to tailor that AI to each specific monster haha. It would probably take an entire recoding of the game and how monsters use their skills so not really worth it lol. Its just funny when I can manipulate their every move with my freezing clouds.
Bcadrencrawl gives all NPCs with ranged attacks the orb spider AI and it’s just the worst thing ever.
