TA Cheating AI's:

Some AI's may have player reviews, click here for a quick overview on submitting your own.

If you know of an AI which should be here, but isn't, then please drop me a line. There is one exception. If an AI is designed exclusively for a MOD and is included in that MOD, or on the MODs page, then I don't bother hosting it here.

This ZIP file contains all the modifications that were made later to this AI. The main concept of this AI is that the targeting priorities of the AI troops have been changed, this means you'll see them actively going for your resources, and targeting enemies that are important, rather than the nearest flea. This only affects tactical, rather than strategic, decisions.

Hexagon AI Addon by RightField

The Alpha AI is designed only for the toughest players who want to play an uncontrollable AI. This AI will build quickly and will attack early and hard. It will also nuke at will. If you can beat this AI in fair circumstances, you're one of the few.

TAUIP

An AI that is geared around 3rd party units. It cheats like a BAI. This is one for the experienced players. Comes with full TAUIP support. Also on offer is the Hexagon Addon, an alternate Default profile which offers an even harder challenge than the one that ships with Alpha. Alpha plays a powerful ground game, but is a little weak in the skies, giving you valuable breathing space.

BSR

Immolator Patch by M. Kenyon aka Brother Alpha

BAI was an attempt to create an AI mod that could make up for some of the engine's shortcomings. It gives the AI the advantages of:

(1) less expensive construction units,

(2) factories with multiple exits,

(3) enhanced resource units, and

(4) improved profiles.

BAI can be *very* difficult on land maps. Try the Easy setting first, because Hard was designed to be a challenge for more than one player!

All AI units provided

Yes (required to run)

N/A

Its full name is Bloodthirsty AI. Made by BSR, this is possibly the most well known AI around. It is also one of the hardest. On hard this AI doesn't even try to be fair, it will level you unless you use every trick you know (and then some). It has more resources than it knows what to do with (literally), although the latest version does make better use of them. One thing BAI should be praised on is it's good use of difficulty levels.

A modified BAI by IronWall, this BAI supports UH. I will be looking at it so as to give you a better idea of how it plays. However it is not as tough as its father. This copy also includes the later DCL fix.

M. Kenyon aka Brother Alpha

BANZAI is the most prolific AI ever made, able to produce a wider variety of units... and more of them. This AI believes in combined arms, attacking with planes and ground units simultaneously. This makes the AI very hard to beat. Just to top it off, it won't think twice about sending nuclear missiles to your base. The AI is fully compatible with almost any unit configuration excluding total conversions and UberHack. The profiles support over 600 units. BANZAI has 19 text profiles to suit almost any situation. This AI is a decent challenge for a seasoned player.

All AI units provided

Yes (required to run)

N/A

Another AI from the King of cheating AIs. This one has some pretty heavy 3rd party unit support. Expect a tough challenge. Banzai actually has six levels of difficulty, so no matter what your skill level, Banzai has something to suit. Add on to this a massive number of AI profiles, and you've got yourself an incredible package.

This is the Black Storm AI for Total Annihilation 3.1, It is the ONLY ai that is truly harder than the Blood-Thirsty ai!!!!! Its record for nuking is around 15 minutes! I must give credit to the creator of the Blood Thirsty AI becuase it is actually like a BAI v4.5. I have updated all of the units and everything, but I am still using the same base files........ this is by far the hardest AI out to date! Good luck, you'll need it!

I really wish I could write an essay on this AI, but to be honest I didn't see enough to justify more than a few paragraphs. The AI is quite difficult to beat no-matter what the level.

See readme

This AI is designed to support almost any MOD that meets certain criteria. Using generic weights and limits, rather than unit specific ones, it can play a large number of MODs just as well as plain Total Anihilation. This does mean of course that it won't give you the most difficult game ever, but it might be what fans of MODs like XTA are looking for. Comes with four levels of difficulty.

All AI units provided

Yes

N/A

Different from most cheating AIs, Switeck's Counterstrike uses special resource structures to generate its resources which do not need to be positioned on metal spots, leaving it free to get on with producing troops. It comes with relatively few AI units, no super speed construction units here. It's at its best on Urban type maps, where you will struggle to get metal, but it will have no problems as it doesn't need metal spots. Should you find the AI too easy to defeat, you can download its Super Resource units. If you do not have Core Contingency, then you can remove the TACC file and it will run fine. As always, Switeck's AI has incredible profile support.

N/A

This AI takes a rather interesting approach to cheating. Ths isn't an AI with the usual assortment of AI construction units and factories, but simply one with additional resources and nukes. The extra resources are seperate from the standard resource generators, and are invisible, but explode when you go near them. Thus a game against this AI can rapidly turn into a turf war. An interesting approach, with the possibility for fustration if you miss one of the generators.

This AI is designed to attack later rather than earlier. It should leave the player alone for about 8-10mins, but when it decides that it will attack, it attacks hard. You have been warned. This AI will nuke and build super kbots at will.

This AI cheats to throw units at you, but is not designed to be very difficult. It's purpose is to use as many different units as possible to maintain interest. This includes 3rd party units. This file also includes the updates from the Peewee addon.

Sage_Z

Siege was my attempt to create a "universal" AI for all players of different skill levels. If you want a AI that will make you respect the difficulty levels, Siege wants you!

The Siege patch gives the skirmish AI a chance to take advantage of abundant resources and special units. This gives it the ability to stand a chance against even the best on HARD difficulty, and appear not-so-unbeatable lower difficulties. Some of its advantages:

1) Siege incorporates "intelligent" jets that will not hesitate to escort bombers and gunships,

2) When in "Siege" mode the units will position themselves for optimal defense,

3) Special AI Decoy Commanders who pack an "inferior" dgun (for all of our commander killers in the audience),

4) easily support this patch in your 3rd Party AIs. (see Readme information)

I give thanks to all who helped and encouraged me as this patch was constructed from the ground up!

All AI units provided

Yes (required to run)

N/A

A cheating AI with some really different difficulties. From Easy which will nano-stall its way through a fairly defensive game, up to Hard which will overwhelm you in no time. The only problems with this AI are maps where there is no wind, and the small number of profiles provided. The second version of this AI can be found in the AI Unit Packs download section.

It has 15 levels of difficulty that meet almost anyones skill. It doesn't use metal and energy units as a source for resources allowing the ai to live through resource raiding. It can nuke if you want. Everything is included in zip. It supports CC, BT etc. It does not support any 3rd party units. No ai units are supported except for the aiboost in the zip.

All AI units provided

Yes

N/A

This is a no-nano stall cheating AI. It doesn't produce units faster. It doesn't send out ultra fast construction units. It simply puts down special resource generators and gets on with the business of building troops. For those of you who like to tweak, this AI changes almost every TA maps AI profile selection, as well as providing a large variety of profiles. Each profile has about 4 backups. Finding the AI a bit too tough on the sea maps? Swap out its Seabattle profile for its SeaBattle Newbie profile. This is certinally competing with Banzai when it comes down to customising the challenge.
