Re: Artificial stupidity

Not at all. I'm claiming the same thing all along, and you have posted numerous times agreeing with it.

When there are no enemies in range of their spells, and no buffs are applicable, they go to...

Re: How the heck do I...?

I believe you'll find that, although the display shows the same negative number each round, that's only a display bug, and after the required number of rounds, the unit is produced, even though it...

Re: Artificial stupidity

Nice backpedalling there.

So it turns out, contrary to your past flames, we *agree* that the behaviour I'm seeing is the behaviour that's programmed into the game, you just want to try and make a...

Re: Artificial stupidity

Wrong assumption. We were talking about standard centaur warriors. Similar to the white centaurs, but cheaper and not sacred.

And yet, immediately above, you are quoted recognising once again that this behaviour *does* happen. In the very same post. It's enough to make me seriously...

Re: Artificial stupidity

I guess anything could be called viable if you want to play it badly enough, but one thing is for sure - you can't get them to use basic light cavalry tactics on the battlefield, it just won't...

Thanks for posting this!

The 'favspell' entry is interesting, this might confirm my early hunch that each caster seemed to get a little fixated on their favourite spell... an impression I...

Actually I *don't* think this would be a good thing, at least not exactly as you explain it. Part of the charm of Dominions2 is the way combat is never completely controllable, things never go...

IIRC it also raises your defence score. And, again IIRC, the trident has *three* attacks per round, base.

I usually skip the tournament anyway. It takes a high value commander that could usually...

Re: Artificial stupidity

Well of course if you define the topic at it's broadest - "the AI is rather dumb' - there isn't any simple solution, no. Making the AI smarter in general would be complicated, I'm sure.

But if...

I'm talking about the *AI* casting it.

Yes, when I script it, it often does very well. That's not the point. You can still script it.

Re: Linux Admining

It also helps to put the magic numbers in.

#!/bin/sh

should be the very first thing in the file.

And to make sure the permissions are right

Like I said, learn to read. I didn't say the former, and the unexplained behaviour was explained long ago. It's still stupid but it's not unexplained.

Re: Very disappointing news about AI combat spell

VERY glad to hear that.

That one spell has been my bane for far too long. I could count the number of times it's done me any good on one hand. I couldn't begin to count the number of times I've...

One? I had the impression it was two, but I assume you're in a much better position to know than I.

BoW is a huge pain in Dom2, and it's NOT possible to keep it from being by playing with your troop placement in many cases. I can certainly think of better ways to deal with it than what this sounds...

Re: Request for assistance

I'm sure I've seen a lot more than 4 sites in a province, I'm guessing some of them 'don't count.' Mines, for instance?

Re: Request for assistance

Isn't there a limit to how many sites there can be? So that if you find that number, you can know to quit searching for more?
