Pyrochette vs Narn Regime.

The Pyrochette won by points at the turn 500.
The Narn conquered Aaragu and later invaded Ashadra. But the Pyrochette attacked the other side of the map: first Abrion and next Cewandi, Cephedri and Cretrik.
Then, at the end think the Pyrochette's victory was deserved.
Again, is pretty clear that all the Mephsto's races had problems with the combination of this map and "low bonus", and then, don't think the Narn will be fighting for the championship.

Re: AI DEATH MATCH 2
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Agree... Anyway, the Narn and Toron are under the 8 better AIs, on this contest... it mean that under this game conditions, still they're great!

Re: AI DEATH MATCH 2
 

I'm cheering for the Tessellates for the Death Match. I think they will make it to the finals at least; and then they will win it all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Well, I hope they do anyways.

Re: AI DEATH MATCH 2

Tessellate vs Space Vikings.

The Tessellate won a decisive game for the first place, against the Space Vikings, at the turn 408.
Around the turn 300, still was a balanced game and the Vikings was strong, but around the turn 350, was clear that the Tessellate will win.

Re: AI DEATH MATCH 2
 

With the current game settings and map, I think the Tessellate and United Flora are the best AIs.

Re: AI DEATH MATCH 2
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Which of the two is going to walk away on top?

They expand fast and the Tessellate have problems (like all of my AIs on this contest) to produce enough Research Points and Intel Points.
Anyway, the Tessellate have a great advantage: if they can reach the end game, their Skip armor weapons have advantage over the UF ships.
At the end, still think that probably the UF will win, but can't bet it.

The Narn defeated the Pyrochette by points, at the turn 500.

The CueCappa did some holes into the UF territory, and some attacks... but the UF won again at the turn 360.

Here the link: UFlora_vs_CueCappa_E2.zip

The UF played 18 games on this contest and has not defeats!

Re: AI DEATH MATCH 2
 

I can't wait for the big United Flora vs Tesselate battle.

I'm a little suprised that CueCappa has made it so far. In my solo games, they tend to be middle of the road, unlike say UF. Has CueCappa been updated recently? Maybe I have an old copy. I'll have to check.

Re: AI DEATH MATCH 2

Narn vs Tessellate.

After a long and boring game, the Tessellate won by point after the turn 500.
They had many ships (more than 500), and don't know why... but they decided to do not finish the Narn's planets.
Also, the Narn closed the WP in the Bardron system... and because the Tessellate don't build Warp Openers when the AI is in the Defensive mode, they never attacked this system...

Re: AI DEATH MATCH 2
 

Pyrochette vs Tessellate

The Tessellate won at the turn 345.

Here the link: Pyrochette_vs_Tessellate_E1.zip

Then, the standings in the group E1 are:

Tessellate 6 points
Space Vikings 4 points
Pyrochette 1 point
Narn Regime 1 point

Then, the Tessellate and Space Vikings will be in the next round.
To determine the third place, I will run a tie break between the Pyrochette and the Narn Regime.

Re: AI DEATH MATCH 2
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif The idea had occured to me.

Re: AI DEATH MATCH 2
 

CueCappa vs Aquilaeian.

The CueCappa won at the turn 500 (but not by points!!).

Here the link: CueCappa_Vs_Aquilaeian_E2.zip

If in the next match, the Toron can't defeat the United Flora, we will need a new TieBreak.

Is pretty clear to me, that with this map and game settings, all the Rollo's AIs are the best.
The Mephistos AI's had problems with the resources, and my own AI's had problems with Research/Intel... then, is not a surprise to me that the Pyrochette/Narn and Toron/Aquilaeian are fighting for the Last place to be in the next round. And my guess is that the Narn and Toron would win (the TieBreaks, of course!).
