AI base placement and initialization

Objective

Implement AI base placement logic that works with the base placement system to position AI bases strategically relative to human players.

Requirements

  • Strategic Placement: Place AI base near but not adjacent to human player
  • Resource Access: Ensure AI has access to nearby resources
  • Initialization: Set up AI player state identical to human players
  • Persistence: AI base persists until destroyed or human disconnects

Technical Details

  • Integrate with base placement system for AI positioning
  • Calculate optimal distance from human player base
  • Initialize AI player with same starting resources
  • Set up AI ownership and faction systems
  • Handle AI base lifecycle management
  • Add AI base visual differentiation

Acceptance Criteria

  • AI base is placed at appropriate distance from human
  • AI starts with same resources and capabilities as human
  • AI base is clearly identifiable as enemy faction
  • AI base persists through game session
  • Placement algorithm handles multiple AI opponents

Milestone Relation

Required for AI opponent functionality. Establishes AI as legitimate player entity and enables AI vs human combat scenarios.
