Putting the CPU in boats

Hey people I am new here,.. I study game design and my professor made the class make maps for wc3


now I had this island concept of p1 vs cpu, where the player and the computer start out on a small island with limited resources and building space,..
the idea was to venture from your island at a certain time to find new goldmines and places to build. well I built the whole concept but now the random computer wont use the cpu controlled boats I put at their disposal at the beginning of the game.

this way the player always colonises all islands and the cpu remains on his starting beach.

Randomly the cpu starts with undead, i dont know if its the undead's fault that they dont use the boats or are all cpu controlled units unable to range/roam and explore freely,.. ?


can any one help me with tips how to get the computed adversary to get seaborne?

please post ur suggestions here or mail me at [email protected]


useful tips will be rewarded with some links to find a+ anime (legal downloads)

Ur kidding, make a map is what the teacher made u do?! *(lucky)Shakes his fist*
Instead of putting boats for the players, put a goblin shipyard near shallow water and make sure you can move a ground unit to it. Or, you can use triggers or ai.





NOTE: Just give people who help you reputation.

As far as I know, the AI does not load boats, they have a function to buy and load on Zeppelins, but not on boats, you will have to trigger it.

(hey peeps I cave you sum reputation)

in the AI modifying screen I tagged the radio box that said that units could venture all over the map for resources.

and can some one tell me where I can find the goblin shipyard,.. cause its sure as hell not under neutral passive in the unit palette. maybe I am cross eyed but can some one point me to the direction of this unit?

To find the Goblin Shippiard, choose "Neutral Passive" as the player, it should be on the buildings tab.I am still sure that the AI will not even buy a ship, if you don't trigger it.

I dont know if it works but if the Cpu uses the Zeppelin, cant you just transform it into a boat? never tested it so I dont know.
