Getting started with AI modding(Forged Allience)

I'd like to get into making my own AI. I feel like there has to already be a guide out there for somebody like me but I haven't found one on google or here. I did find Sorian's AI guide but since I've got Forged Alliance I'd like to make AIs for that and I saw a disclaimer in the guide saying it doesn't apply to FA.|||i agreed there should be a ai tutorial for forged alliance|||For FA AI modding..



First read Sorians original guide for SC:

While the FA AI engine is different in many ways this SC guide still covers the basics to get started.



Next read DFS post that details to the changes to the AI between SC and FA:

Then the best way to start is to download one of the current AI packs (either Sorians if you want an example of separate AI or DuncanE's pack if you want to mod the existing AI).



From there I would start by looking in the AI builders folder as this is the real engine that chooses what the AI builds.|||I'm also thinking about creating my own AI, though I only have experience with C# and am unsure on how much time it will take to make a very easy AI for example.



I'll consider creating an AI of my own once I get some more free time.
