Can someone name drop me some AI algorithms? I know about finite state machines and behavior trees, but thats it. Ive tried behavior trees and it feels a little over the top. Havent tried state machines but they look promising, I was just wondering if there were more techniques I should know about, and even if I shouldnt know about them because finite state machines take the cake, I would still like to be aware of other options.

I think those are the most common, from my research. Otherwise, here ya go: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_artificial_intelligence
A lot of other ai algorithms may be needlessly complex for most videogame enemies. Though I really like "needs based" like the sims.

If behavior trees are more complex than you need, you are probably on the right track looking at state machines. Many of the other popular algorithms build on behavior trees to create more complex systems. Here’s a nice overview: http://www.gameaipro.com/GameAIPro/GameAIPro_Chapter04_Behavior_Selection_Algorithms.pdf
That whole site is an amazing free resource: http://www.gameaipro.com
