I knew some dink was going to bring up Massive style crowd simulations which is why I VERY FUCKING SPECIFICALLY quoted a small crowd size where individual actions actually matter, which is a far different thing.

Older style crowd simulations don't really use AI as we define it now. They use preset animations that can be cycled through for various circumstances. A few dozen walk cycles, maybe thirty or forty "CHOP HOBBIT IN HALF" animations, throw in some jumping or arm waving and you've got yourself a crowd simulation.

That is not what we are talking about.
