>>10791303I think the game you might be looking for would almost certainly be a war simulation. even something as simple as AOE2.
building an economy able to wage war against an enemy and dealing with totally unpredictable tactics and sacrifices. it would overwhelm any AI currently available.
you can pit the best current AOE2 AI's, seven of them, on a team, against a single good player. and that single player will win. same with any war game I assume. Human strength sometimes comes from our insane ability to totally lose our minds and do things that are considered outrageous and stupid when looked at strategically.
It might all boil down to rage. have you ever been so angry and upset your heart was just pounding and you were ready to kill? maybe not that intense for most. but we have all felt overwhelming rage. a computer would never feel that. it is always cold and calculating. it isn't expecting suicide bombers and kamikaze pilots etc. an enemy willing to destroy itself just in the off chance it will take the computer with it.
that is the sort of game you should be looking for if you really want an AI that is dangerous.
