<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yep, agree that the -200% makes the ECM mostly useless...
But please remember that it was a beta Version!!!

In some days I'll release an improved AI... with a few twists that nobody else (in the unmoded game) used in the way that I did! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Tessellate 1.0 Version.
=======================

Ok, finally I have got the time to finish and test the updates that did for the Tessellate... and then, release the 1.0 Version.

The most important (and IMHO revolutionary!) change, was that now the Tessellate will use BasesShips in the late game for the Attack/Support Ships.
Really I'm proud of their design: the cost of these designs are more or less like the Tessellate's DN designs... then, the AI can build them fairly fast and can keep fleets with similar size.
This change really worked superb against others AIs, and playing against me... but I will be really happy to know others opinions!!!
I would love to receive some input about it.

Thanks MB. I look forward to playing against the updated tessellate. You make some wonderful AI's.

And, since I am now working on my own AI's, I will also be using them to benchmark how well they are doing.

I started a TDM game today with the Tessellates 1.0, and I got an error message telling me that the following things are wrong in the tesselate_general.txt file:

The Race Option 2 Number of Characteristics was not found
The Race Option 3 Characteristic 7 Type was not found
The Race Option 3 Characteristic 7 Amount was not found

I haven't looked at the file yet--I could probably fix it myself. But, I thought you'd like to know about the error.

Given that the AI is your work, I fully expect it to be among the best. Keep it up, MB!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">If you want to fix it yourself, it is pretty simple. And even if it is obvious it could not hurt to explain how. First Look for "Race Opt 2 Characteristic 1 Type". Before that line add "Race Opt 2 Num Characteristics := 10". Then look for "Race Opt 3 Characteristic 6 Amount". After that line are the two lines that read "Race Opt 2 Characteristic 7 Type" and "Race Opt 2 Characteristic 7 Amount". Change the 2's to 3's so you have "Race Opt 3 Characteristic 7 Type" and "Race Opt 3 Characteristic 7 Amount". That should fix it. Simple copy and paste type errors.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks! For the report Hrothgar!!
I did several updates into this file, and obviously did several mistakes. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
It happened because,I was using the *.emp files to test the Tessellate...
Again I'm out of my house, but will fix it the next weekend.

I am currently working on a the Tesselate ship set with a sold black background. Any suggestions for changes and or a set name?
I like "Dark Crytal" but it was a fantacy puppet movie.

Gryphin,oh I am still around. What do we need to do with your shipset?

I agree. MB's AI deserves the very best shipset!

mlmbd,
We don't have too much to do. I have installed L3. As long as I don't want too much color getting a black background is easy.
What did you have in mind?
