Will you add AI for multiplayer maps ?

Hi, will it be possible to play vs AI on multiplayer maps ?

While we are developing the remaster version, one of our core guiding principles is to not modify components of the game that can completely change or alter the experience our fans had while playing the original game. This is why we are currently not planning to add AI on multiplayer maps.

This question came up during the development, and we have thought about it a lot, however since our key goal is to preserve and revive the original gameplay experience, we chose to be very careful with any changes that could affect the core gameplay.

+1 Thats a good plan.

Sadly without AI and Steam friends with same game,
you will be than only able to play story.

I imagine it would also be a monumental task to accomplish and could lead to all kinds of bugs too.

Better to make sure that all potentially interested players know about the game. SWINE is really not well known but the genre is.

Post in the steam forums of similar games and let friends and mates know.

I'll be playing it online for sure.

I already shared the game in big bulgarian forum, shared also with many old friends from the game and we all wait for the Day.. I hope that a lot of People start play the game, I like a rabbit gulage btw 😀

Would it be possible to implement the Steam matchmaking and lobby system for the remaster so that people could join automatches if they don't have friends who are interested in the game?

As close as you want to keep to the original game, I think some OPTIONAL improvements would be really welcome, and would make the game last longer and more playable for a bigger audience.

I'm sure you could find a way to add things so they don't take away anything from the original feeling. A selectable AI to hold skirmishes against would be such an option. Post-game content (like having a bigger selection of units in story mode) would be another. Maybe you could re-play the story with all your ranked up units and money, in a kind of "New Game +" mode which is popular in role playing games.
I do admit I never managed to finish the original title though (I was young and this game was significantly more difficult than other RTS games like Command & Conquer), so I don't know what, if any, stuff the game grants you after finishing it.

C&C is also getting a full remake soon by the way, and by the original company who made it (not sure if their talents are the same too, but at least the music guy is back on board, he even had a live concert of C&C music last month - if you know the music in those games, you understand why this is a big deal).

Looks like this year will be a great time for RTS games.

I agree with this post. Adding things like AI opposition to MP wouldn'T have altered the experience in any way, but would have opened it up for filthy casuals like me. I played the campaign to death in the original game, but wasn't (and probably still ain't) suited for multiplayer, however I like kicking the AI to death in other games.

Very disappointed with the decision... AI opponents should have been added in Multiplayer (skirmish mode style).

Summary: We're running out of money. Give us more. Don't expect us to work for it.

optional improvements are always a good thing. especially with remasters. i mean look at rise of the triad ludicrous edition.
