When modding the Battle cards without changing AI, will AI cope with it?

e.g. if I change the Nano repair from 20% to 10%, will the AI use it less? or they just follow the AI Battle card guide to play no matter what have changed to the cards?

The AI don't rate card effectiveness, it just follow weight to decide what to use. If you want it to change the odds the AI use a card or another, you have the change the weights (it's random, but the higher or lower the weight is, the more or less often the AI will pick it over another card unless there is nothing else to chose from).

Did you know that you can make it "not random" by reducing the number of cards to pick from in Registry.xml from 3 to 1?



This could be usefull for testing when meddling with the card-values. Not so usefull for the actual game, as it would make the AI far too predictable.

good, easier to change, but easier to predict as well, thanks!




Easier to predict depend on how weights are set, if several cards have similar weights in a given situation, the AI may pick any of them (increasing the odds of a counter). You can make the AI unpredictible that way, but it's much better if it's choice of cards make sense though.
