Lightbulb Thoughts about a different way for AI


well, I saw the devs posting several times the server stress would be tremendous if they tried to add more AI like wildlife and stuff. so I was thinking and had an idea.

why not let people run the AI on their PC's? so if you come to a continent with 3 people you will each run like 5 AI animals that will stay in your view distance.

now before you start flaming about CPU load and what happens if 400 people each run 5 AI's let me finish.

when there are like 20 people on a continent it could drop to 4 and slowly to 1 each, cause when there's 100 people they never walk alone so you can see other ppl's birds and giant girbels.

now in battles of 100+ ppl this would still be an amazing lagger, but the solution exists in the very nature of all animals, (no not dying) running away. an animal that hears gunshots will run away and go into hiding. so basiclly in battles the AI's will disappear into the trees, fly away, dig a whole and hide, and then you won't be running a bot anymore. this is true also for the 15 minute camp that 200 NC like to do in bases as the engine noise and TK's should be enough to scare off the animals.

what do you think?

p.s: I don't have a subscription right now cause my GFX card fried and I can't play but if someone can post this on the official forums and give the link it would be neat.
