Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

I have started the game between the UF and the Tessellate, this morning around the 7:30 here.
Now, the time it's 22:45 and still they're fighting... around the turn 388.
The Tessellate are wining by points, but the game still looks balanced and think the UF still could win.

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

Oh crap!! I'm embarresed. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif
Sorry for the confusion.

Edit:
Pray for the UF to win.

You know there was something fishy about those plants in Mario bro's.

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

United Flora vs Tessellate 1
The Tessellate won by points at the turn 500.

It was a long and very balanced game.
During the first 100 turns the Tessellate has the initiative, but the UF counter-attacked and around the turn 300 they controled more systems.
In the end game, the Tessellate controled most the systems and the UF was falling.

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

Tessellate vs United Flora. 1
The Tessellate won at the turn 350.

It was a weird game: around the turn 250 the Tessellate lost several systems and the UF was attacking with big fleets... and 100 turns later the UF was crushed!

Think the clue are the Tessellate's BAs.

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

Damn, the Tesselate have won. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
I was hoping the UF would win. Ah well, sll hail to the Tesselate!
I wish I had the time to play a very long game of SE IV, sigh... where is the time.
Great work Master Belisarius. Thumbs up for you!

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

will a new TDM Modpack version be launched using the better races in this competition?

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

Not yet... but seems like they will win (right now I'm playing the 4th game)

heheehe, but after all the UF won the previous contest... and defeated the Tessellate badly!

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

hehehe, thanks. But really was funny to me run this contest.

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

Don't know. You should ask to Mephisto!

But anyway, most the better races are already included.

Into the 12 better races, only the Verduran is not included into the TDM.

Into the better 18 races included into this contest, just the Verduran and the Corrian are not TDM races.

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

Tessellate vs United Flora. 2
The Tessellate won at the turn 220.

The games 1 and 2, were balanced games, but this time the Tessellate won pretty fast.
Was checking the game, and the interesting was that the UF surrendered before to be anihhilated.

Right now I'm running the 4th game (turn 384) and looks like the Tessellate would win...

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

Tessellate vs United Flora 2.
Again the UF offered a very good challenge... but the Tessellate won at the turn 400.

Then, the Tessellate reached the 4 victories and WON THE CONTEST!

The final was score was 4-0.

Think they defeated the UF thanks 2 major improvements (comparing with the previous contest):
- changed their Culture to Merchants and then can keep biggest fleets.
- include cheap BA ships (with many crystalline armors) that can destroy any UF ship.

The end has come! The Tessellate are the new kings of the AI Universe! All hail the Tessellate

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

/me drops hailstones on the Tesselate.

And congratulations to Master Belisarius, for all that hard work. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

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

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

I dislike ai games but it's been fun following this thread!

Thanks!

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

Everything I have is now up on the page.

MB - Go ahead and send the rest of the files. I will get them up ASAP.

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

Thanks Gandalph!
I'm sending the files in groups of 4-5.

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

Thanks for running these contests MB.

And congrats on your victorious Tessellate.

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

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

Thanks again... but in some way, believe it's your victory too!! hehehe After all, think the UF are part of them!!

As I wrote, think this time the Tessellate did the difference thanks the "Merchants" Culture (they can build now so many ships as the UF does), and thanks their cheap and strong BA's.

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

Ok, now that the Tessellate have won, I have noticed that I don't have that race. Has someone compiled an AI repository somewhere for downloads?

BTW, since I don't download AI's very often, just for terminology sake, what is the correct term for a set of files which includes and AI race and an associated shipset? Those are what I'm looking for.

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

Race files? Although I've heard the term Shipset used for them whether or not they have the AI files. You don't see too many available that don't have any AI files included. Even if it's just a default race renamed and with a different descrition.

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

someone (not me, because i´m lazy) should create a shipset/AI files depository... or just an AI files depository so we can get AI´s and combine them with our favorite shipsets...

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

The Tesellate are included into the TDM.

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

Most odd. I have v3.40 but no Tessellate. I'll download it again.

edit: aaaah. I only had v3.40 beta

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

WHAT? 6th Place!!! Someone should be enslaved for this!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

Hail Master B! Been a long time... Kinda cool to see the Pyrochette still kicking around.

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

i agree. i would very much like to see a repository of the non-TDM AI files and shipsets that were used in the tourney.

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

Has anybody really considered doing this again, maybe this time around with non-TDM AI files? Maybe including some newer files and shipsets?

Re: re AI Deathmatch
 

Hear hear!

I'll polish up my underhanded AI Cheaters race to soundly trounce the competition.
