AI help please

[Walker]

I have to makea dice based game for class and am thinking of attempting a simple version of warhammer, and while i can make a multiplayer version(as in no ai) how would one make an ai, I thinking im going to make it so that it compared values of certain squares ( liek its archers would head for the grid postions with a high A value(for archer value and so on)but my problem is how to make it realize now it cant run through walls and using its archers at melee range is a bad idea and so on, right now the only thing i can think of it making it so that at the begging of every turn the ai checks in a radius around each of its units and makes them move towards the space ith the highest value.

Has any one ever attempted a game like this before and if so how did they amke their ai work???

I've never heard of a warhammer game in turing. It would be a very hard program to make. Have you done the multiplayer version yet?

anyways, theres a thread on simple AI in the General programming forum, you can check that out for basci AI ideas.

I'd say most will offer to help you test. I, for one, will help.
