Suggestion: Add Shipyard and Water functionality to AI

Apparently, the WC3 AI doesn’t generally work well with ships and water-based pathfinding. Altering the AI so that it could build shipyards in custom games (without triggers) would be pretty helpful. I would really like to see some custom maps that play similarly to melee, but allow for battles on the water like in WC2, Age of Empires, and Empire Earth. That would be so badass.

You can take a look at Beyond The Throne mod, which is made by Kam(an employee of Wc3 Reforged) and will be updated to Reforged too

By the way, Kam’s work looks incredibly like the continuation of WC3. Even the new heroes. I mean models, not gameplay.

This post was calling me.

I really wish AI can use boats though. Without triggers

Because what’s the point of the boats then?

The only thing we request for wc3 navy changes is the ability for AI to use transport ships and use the attacking ships.

Making custom units and abilities we can do on our own.

Its just that there is no way to make a trigger for that right now.
