'Neurotic' is Best RTS strategy

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the better-than-my-strat-of-hide-and-cry dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Austrian researchers experimenting with adding emotion to game AI say that 'neurotic' software is best at RTS. They developed aggressive, defensive, neutral and neurotic bots to play Age of Mythology, based on psychological models of emotion. Neurotic bots beat the standard game AI every time and faster than the other personalities."

    I love how Slashdot stories always refer to some acronym without any reference to the acronym's meaning. This article, for instance, refers to RTS. I have no idea what the hell RTS stands for, so I think the article could have been written differently and held just as much meaning as the original:

    "Austrian researchers experimenting with adding emotion to game frammistan say that 'neurotic' software is best at zowifropistontics. They developed aggressive, defensive, neutral and neurotic bots to play Age of Mythology, based on psychological models of emotion. Neurotic bots beat the standard game frammistan every time and faster than the other personalities."

    Get my drift??

      News flash: groups of people with similar interests or knowledge will develop jargon. It exists to speed communication.
