Instead of punishing them for how long the enemies have been alive you should add a reward for the length left in their path so pogo learns to make a snaking path rather than one strong tower

[@kpounder4908]

This would be great, but the problem is that the game is too short and he can’t get enough towers to form long paths. If there was an endless mode with infinitely scaling enemies then it could work

Honestly this is such a great idea! To make it even more complicated for Pogo (and you) you could make like a hidden enemy, so he would have to place a different type of tower!

[@Zuzelo]

Hmm, invisible enemies that can only be seen by lvl 2/3 tower? Or just a different tower altogether?

[@therealbahamut]

So pogo is punished for existing and rewarded for solving the problem as quickly and efficiently as possible and he is infinitely replaceable. Congratulations. You have created Mr. Meeseeks.

[@Dracon0597]

@@Zuzelo you should make another pogo that chases him around hitting him so he has to dodge and defend from the enemies at the same time and the other pogo only stops when he wins

[@Valykry]

Maybe expand on this a bit? Add in a variety of tower types. Some that don't directly damage enemies, but slow them down. When upgrading these, he can choose between the tower having splash damage OR further decreasing enemy speed. Not both (per tower). Perhaps yet another tower that just deals splash damage like a mortar, choice of upgrades for increased damage or increased range (possibly at the cost of fire rate). And when upgrading the current default towers, perhaps add another upgrade type to choose from instead of just 2x damage and range. I think it would be interesting to see the strategies that evolve from this. Idea 2) Have it be a vs match. A second AI on the other side also building towers. Along with building towers, each AI has the choice of spending gold to send "attackers" to the enemy to try to touch the other guys meat.

[@ethanvon222]

give the AI different towers they can place, like an AOE one or a support tower, so that the AI can do some advanced strategies like a slowdown tower at the end of the track or a melee tower surrounded by ranged ones

[@ErmisSouldatos]

Do the same thing again but with more options and more enemies

[@Zuzelo]

hm, i might, but first I gotta bring and old friend back in the next video :)

[@LuisFSZ]

You simply ignored the part where Pogo simply didn't understand the fact that placing towers inside each other was wrong. You could have resolved it by simply removing the possibility of him being able to place towers one inside the other, or level up infinitely even if it doesn't affect anything. And you could try to improve the reward system so that he understands that delaying the enemies' movement was a good thing, I don't know how to do that, but I also think it's not something so absurdly complicated to do.

[@bruh-rc8ke]

Putting four towers in a square could make them combine into a stronger one, or unlock another ultimate level

[@permeus2nd]

I have to say I was expecting the AI to end up building a box around the spawner or the meat.

[@permeus2nd]

It would be interesting to see how it handles something like gem TD from Warcraft 3 (or its meny remakes on anything with a map editor) basically a lot more complicated tower defence game. I’m sure AI can do it considering that it can keep up with and beat top startcraft 2 players but the learning process of seeing it get progressively harder would be interesting.

[@Keepup715]

I noticed that the upgraded version of the tower has a doubles firerate. But since a higher firerate makes a tower worse wouldn't the upgraded tower keep the same dps of 10?

[@Zuzelo]

I might have used the wrong terms. The lvl 1 tower will deal 5 damage with fire rate of 0.5 (1 attack every 2 seconds) => 2.5dmg/sec Lvl 2 tower will deal 10 dmg with fire rate of 1 (1 attack every second) => 10dmg/sec

[@Keepup715]

@@Zuzelo Ah ok thanks!

[@draketurtle4169]

@@ZuzeloI see the confusion some games represent attacks per second so that 0.5s would be two attacks per second. I can also think of games that use a lower number to say it can’t do a full attack each second. (Like you did) So 2 can be two attacks per second but 0.5s could be an attack twice per second.

The enemies are stealing. Pogo is simply just killing in self defense, which is indeed legal. Its one of the rare cases where killing is legal. Pogo isnt lerfectly within the law to kill them, but in a way, he is

You should add one or two other tower types like a slowing tower or an aoe bomb tower you couls also have a tower that gains gold

[@draco18s]

Makin' me wonder if you could help solve my AI training issues. I've had results almost exactly like what you've had here, and I've gone back and forth on all the parameters and even what information I give it, and haven't had any luck.

[@Mobileplayerr-x7e]

Now do path tower defense like a long wavy path from point A to point B that can't be interrupted or where the a.i makes a path in td but the less tiles the more money and/or points.

[@simsim3980]

well i gotta say Having my mother insulted barely one minute in make me sure this is your channel

[@My_Name_Here420]

you should have made a penalty for when he places towers out of range / when he is far from the path, would that help? idk. does that seem like common sense? yes.

[@Zuzelo]

that would definitely help, but making such a check sounds like quite a difficult thing to do. I would have to somehow compare the position of the tower if every path point of the enemies. Or maybe there is an easier solution that I didnt think of

[@justenoughrandomness8989]

would discourage more advanced strategies, could be useful in the beginning of the training to get SOME competence quickly but maybe not after
