[ARCHER QUEEN] - Want her fixed? This is how.

We all know the archer queen is broken. We see thread after thread about her ridiculous AI. And, yet her AI hasn't been touched in an update for over a year.

The queen works off distance to target, so even if there is three layers of walls between the queen and the closest target, she will attack it. This could take 30 seconds of time just to get to one building, where as if she went around to another building, it would only take 5 seconds.
We have all seen where instead of smashing a wall, she walks all the way around the base to get to the same target, again this is because its based off distance to target.

So my proposition is, queens AI is based off, "time" to target instead of "distance" to target. The maths is already in the game, all they need to do is switch it over. So instead of her looking at a cannon and an archer tower and going, "cannon is closer, so I will go for that I just have to smash some walls first", she will say "cannon is closer, but the time it would take me to smash the walls will add an extra 30 seconds, so I will go around it hit the archer tower taking 15 seconds off the time".

It's a simple solution that will revolutionize the queen. I don't like that I have spent over $1000 on a queen that doesn't work as it should. Its false advertising, which from a business perspective, is very bad.

Tell me about it :smirk:

TheGreatSandwich; I think you can also include king improvement too as he also walks around the base. :p

The problem about the queen is that she uses the same AI as the wizard but has a far longer range which causes problems in some situations.

To improve her behavior another path finding algorithm must be used. The problem is that a better path finding algorithm may need more cpu power increasing the hardware requirements.

Also keep in mind if the AI is tweaked to avoid walls she would also suffer from the Pekka problem and would walk around the base instead of breaking through a wall to the th.

What the player really wants is a queen to target the th in cw the storages (if they are full) while farming and if she is in range of deff she will target deff first but this is not the way the AI is defined as well as the dragon AI is not definded to target air defense and archer towers.

I think it is better to keep her AI specification (what should she target in which situation) and work on the bugs where she did not target the building she should according to the AI specification.

I'm most amazed at the fact that you spent a grand to get a lvl 40 queen, wow :eek:

I feel that the most important thing is that the AQ (and all troops for that matter) have repeatable AI and not completely random behavior.

Knowing how they are going to behave, even if it is stupid, is part of the strategy technically. She may not go where you want her to go, but she will go where you expect her to go (right into that wall), so at the very least, you can adjust your strategy accordingly knowing the inevitable outcome.

Wow $1000 bucks.........
