Re: Curious about Dominions? how the AI thinks? which AI is best/worst?
 

Hmmmmmm....
thats abit of a mix between the games I do, and pbem games that Im not well versed in. But it might be possible. Do a pbem start (sets up then quits), followed by superhosting after that.

This Mid test is going to take 2 days to finish it looks like.
760 turns in and its:
Man: 137 playing aggressive AI
Machaka: 102 playing defensive AI
Agartha: 60 playing standard AI

Re: Curious about Dominions? how the AI thinks? which AI is best/worst?
 

Wow this Mid test is still running.
Turn 883
Indepts 6
Man 155
Machaka 101
Agartha 40

Man and Machaka keep back and forth in first place position.
Man has more forts, Mahaka has more gems, Agartha has more research.
Interesting that Indepts are holding onto 6 provinces. They have an army size of 896 and climbing.

Turn 883 and the independents still have 6 provinces? The AI really doesn't know how to play this game. ;)

Re: Curious about Dominions? how the AI thinks? which AI is best/worst?
 

Even worse, they haven't maxxed research yet. :shock:

Re: Curious about Dominions? how the AI thinks? which AI is best/worst?
 

Indepts got to having 1006 units in 5 provinces. It might have been a smart AI to not tackle it if it wasnt a province it had to go thru. I see one of the Special Monsters got 8 units on the board and kept them till the end of the game.
The game ended at 921 turns with Man the winner. Indepts still had 2 provinces and 462 units. But since they werent needed for a win I guess its no big deal that Man left them.

I would love to have seen the turn before that. It went from
Man: 185 provinces and 16836 units
Machaka: 114 provinces and 7461 units
in one turn to Man being the winner. It might have been a taking of Machaka's capital and killing its god but since Machaka was playing defensive AI Im guessing it had a lot of army there.

Sounds like dom death, non?

Re: Curious about Dominions? how the AI thinks? which AI is best/worst?
 

Your right.
Too bad, it would have been a glorious battle.

Well I am getting farther in my Watcher mod. Its usable now but I have to clean it up and come up with some filler before Id want to make it publicly available. Then I can watch, maybe record, some interesting battles.

Re: Curious about Dominions? how the AI thinks? which AI is best/worst?
 

Thats odd.
I just started a Late Era test. Atlantis (playing aggressive) was the first nation out (0 provinces). That isnt odd. But then they came back. They went up and down for abit between 1 and 3 provinces then died off again.

Re: Curious about Dominions? how the AI thinks? which AI is best/worst?
 

Atlantis is a nation which starts outside of the water in LA. If their cap is the last province under their control and being sieged, it shows as 0 provinces, until they successfully break the siege.
