Narn Regime vs Earth Alliance
The Narn won by point at the turn 500.
Was exactly like the fisrt game between them: both races signed a Military Alliance, and the Narn won thanks the better resource management.

Khrel vs Verduran
The Verduran won at the turn 200.
They expanded really fast, and the Khrel never had a chance to win.

Corrian vs United Flora.
The United Flora won at the turn 200.
Like his cousins (the Verdurans), the UF expanded very fast and soon was clear that the Corrian couldn't ressist too much...

I have some bad news: my company probably will send me to Curacao again, from 30-October to 9-November... and after it, I'll be going to take my vacations until 02-December (will be going to "Santa Fé de Bogotá" and "Cartagena de Indias" in Colombia. Right now, my family is in Bogotá).

Have expected to finish at least the second round, before hold the contest... but considering that some games take many hours, don't think will be able to finish the second round before this saturday.
Sorry.

That's alright. We can wait for something this good. Enjoy your vacation, take your time to relax, and do come back with an itchy finger ready to click away. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Thanks!
I need a vacation... but what really need is to be again with my two sons! (I miss my wife too... but nothing compared with the childs!).

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Toron vs Tessellate
The Tessellate won at the turn 170.
Another fast game. The Toron never offered a good challenge and the Tessellate defeated them fairly fast.

EEE vs Space Vikings.
The Space Vikings got a deserved victory at the turn 280.
Seems to be that will need to run a tie break for this group (group B3), because probably the Fazrah will defeat the EEE in the next game.

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Rage vs Aquilaeian.
The Aquilaeian won at the turn 260.
For the time the Aquilaeian started to use the BA ships, the game was almost decided.

Sallega vs Earth Alliance.
The EA won at the turn 160.
The EA crushed the Sallega without problems.

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Gron vs Verduran
The Verduran won at the turn 140.
As other games, the Verduran expanded very fast, and won without problems. They really looks very strong.

It mean that will need to run a Tie Break between the EEE and the Space Vikings.

EEE 1

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

This is more interesting than the World Cup! Bravo! I especially like the "game recaps."

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Space Vikings vs EEE.

This was the first Tie Break game and the EEE won at the turn 240.
Now, if in the next game, the Space Vikings can defeat the EEE before the turn 240, they will reach the next round, if not, the EEE will.

Re: AI Deathmach 3

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

A conspiracy took place in this thread. I posted a message saying "Happy Birthday Belisarius" on the 6th, but it mysteriously disappeared.

In other words, I noticed you came back, but forgot to post (of course, I must blame someone else for that). Where was I? Oh yes, welcome back among us, and happy birthday to you.

Re: AI Deathmach 3

Rage 0

Then, the Aquilaeian and the CueCappa are in the next round.

Nice groupname for the group where the Narn Regime and the Earth Alliance are placed in; B5.

Wohoo! Awesome 3rd phase of AI deathmatch. I'm not playing SE4 about 2 years (yea, life is changing), but so excited how Fazrah doing their job.

GO GO!

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Maybe it was a G'kar conspiracy, because he knew the Narn would defeat the EA!

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

hehehehe

hehehe, you can bet they only give me a respite when they're sleeping!

Here a picture of them! I have took this picture in "Cartagena de Indias" (into the fortress named "San Felipe de Barajas").

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Yep, I liked the Fazrah from the first time (when Mephisto asked me if I could do some tests to see if would be a good idea include them into the TDM!).

Hope they will go far!

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Gron vs Khrel.
The Khrel defeated the Gron by points, at the turn 500.

It was like the first game (somewhat boring!), and for second time the Khrel reached the victory thanks his better resource management.

Then, the standings in the group B6 are:

Verduran 4
Khrel 2
Gron 0

Then, the Verduran and the Khrel reached the next round

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Here the Groups for the third round!

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

United Flora vs Narn Regime.

The United Flora defeated the Narn without problems, at the turn 210.

Before the game, believed it would be somewhat balanced: after all the Narn has the Talisman too and it's a very strong AI... but I was wrong.

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Tessellate vs Verduran.
The Tessellate won at the turn 240.

It was a game between 2 races without defeats (before the game, off course!!), but the Tessellate had not major problems to win.
The Verduran's ships had many problems against the Tessellate ships. Usually a lone Tessellate's BA was able to defeat a complete Verduran's fleet...

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Fazrah vs CueCappa
The Fazrah defeated the CueCappa at the turn 390.

They always had the initiative, but the CueCappa was able to stop them during most part of the game. Anyway, at the end it was a deserved victory.

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Aquilaeian vs Khrel.
The Aquilaeian won at the turn 460.

They needed a long time to defeat the Khrel, but the Khrel never did good moves to achieve the victory.

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

United Flora vs Toron.

The UF won without problems at the turn 230.
Seems to be that they will get the first place in the group, hands down.

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Tessellate vs Space Vikings
The Tessellate won at the turn 490.

It was a very looong game (around to 22 hours!).
The Tessellate reached the victory, but it was a very hard game for them.

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Great work Master Belisarius.
Damn long game between the Tessellate and the Space Vikings. Do you let your computer run in another room and don't use it during the course of the game? Or do you have a special computer for the AI Deathmatches?

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Thanks!

I only have one computer... and is not very fast (P3 766mhz). Usually the games run ok... but when both races has many ships/units, it took a lot more time.
This match was also more slow, because my son used the computer when the game was running in background...

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Fazrah vs Earth Alliance.
The Fazrah won by points at the turn 500.

At the turn 500, the EA only has a few planets and the Fazrah victory was deserved.

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Damn!!! The EA lost a game! Grr...
I hope the Narns will make up this mistake.
Ultimately the UF will win... I hope.

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Well... still they could be in the next round.

Think they will defeat the Toron and then, reach the next round.

At least, think it they will be in the Final.
The other candidate (in my view), are the Tessellate.

Re: AI Deathmach 3
 

Aquilaeian vs Pyrochette.
The Aquilaeian defeated the Pyrochette at the turn 360.

Really I have not expected a different result... because I know the Aquilaeian are strongest than the Pyrochette.

Interesting, but in all the Groups, the Heads of each group won the 2 games.

Here the standings:

Group C1
United Flora 2
Narn Regime 0
Toron 0

Group C2
Tessellate 2
Verduran 0
Space Vikings 0

Group C3
Fazrah 2
CueCappa 0
Earth Alliance 0

Group C4
Aquilaeian 2
Khrel 0
Pyrochette 0
