Listen to me whine about insipid AI

[mech]

I'd say what we need are some licensable AI modules or something, similar to how there are physics packages showing up (Havok.)

There are certainly people out there who are EXTREMELY talented at making AI.

Expecting a developer's in-house team to pull off human-level intelligence in code is a little much. It's just way too complicated and time-demanding to be viable.

AFAIK the latest version of Renderware comes with AI packages.

It's VERY hard to write generic AI though.
