Tried playing a game against AI, but had no idea what to do since there was no tutorial. Couldn't even figure out how to collect resources, especially since the amount of them wasn't displayed.
There is no AI at the moment, they are empty placeholders for now. Functional AI is probably 2-3 versions away still. There is an AI called "Swarm AI", which just sends waves of units towards your base.
Collecting supply is automatic, but the path finding is a bit wonky right now and the supply trucks can get stuck. Supply is displayed at the top of the sidebar UI.
But yeah, right now its functional but not really playable. Lots of bugs too. Will be better in a few more versions.
Next update is tiles and map focused, but after that, we're rejigging the pathfinding again. We're just going to use flowmaps, which is what many RTSes use, we actually have it half-implemented somewhere in the code already. This will also prevent clumping, which happens to some units but especially infantry when they are first built or disembark.
Our future plans for infantry is to have them be semi-automated. They will automatically tether themselves to troop transports or garrison themselves into buildings. If you order a troop transport or building to attack, the infantry within will dismount and attack as well.
We're adding a big map in the ledger menu soon. Didn't add it for this update since the minimap will likely have some changes due to upcoming map focused update.
Anyhow, thanks for playing the game. The development will continue to chug along.
