tree can now better determine if all assigned agents to a goal have arrived. Our third priority is to improve the ability for agents to prepare or “stage” for their assigned Goals. will better understand how to defend their lanes. Our next step is to include units within each lane to further modify how valuable lanes are to defending agents. In the most recent patch, we added logic that allows the Goal system to understand that lanes pushed closer to a core are usually more valuable to defend. agents’ understanding of “laning” and how they approach pushing and defending those lanes. This work will also allow us to more quickly diagnose the root cause of misbehaving agents. This will reduce the frequency of agents being pulled in two directions at once, most commonly observed as agents rapidly bouncing back and forth in place.
We are reinforcing the intended separation of the Goal and Tactical systems, and will be paying closer attention to make sure that any future changes do not disturb this delicate balance of power. Moving forward we will be reverting some of changes made in the last major overhaul and restructuring the Tactical A.I. Although we believe the changes were ultimately a good iteration, they did expose several underlying issues that we are addressing. Last year, in an effort to improve agent in-combat positioning, we made it possible for the Tactical system to override the Goal system. agents should move, while the Tactical system provides agents with awareness of their surroundings so that they use and target their abilities intelligently. The Goal system is responsible for determining where A.I. There are two systems under the hood of Heroes that work together to drive agent behavior: the Goal system and the Tactical system.
