Through the years of playing on Beatnik servers, we've all seen the AI do some really crazy stuff. I was talking to Sandman about this and he explained that this is called "Emergent AI Behavior" which means: a system that does not depend on its individual parts, but on their relationships to one another. Thus emergent behavior cannot be predicted by examination of a system's individual parts. So, these wacky things the AI do are not coded. I've often said the AI were evolving, I guess that was almost right!
What have you guys seen the AI do? Anyway, let's share our stories of AI emergent behavior!
See you in the game,

PS: Great response for Beatniks Reunion 3.0!! Definitely on this Fall!! Details to come!!

I have seen a couple of "interesting" moments over the past two days. Not sure if it is emergent behavior but definitely nothing I have seen before.
Yesterday while messing with the townies, I watched one AI get shot by the crossfire of his group. Large red cloud of spray followed by him running for cover.
This morning I had an AI helo come along side my Merlin at 150 feet and stay with me for about 30 seconds. No shots fired, no change in direction, just formation flying.
