won't engage in combat along the way. This sorta makes sense since weapons use supplies. But if the ship just does a little dance until it uses up its supplies moving aimlessly, doesn't that sorta defeat the purpose of trying to avoid the combat?
Do you think some of us should try to save our games when this happens and email them to Malfador?
Once I get back to a stable environment, I will try to get something together. With all of playing around with my race AI, let alone the fact that it is a race no one else has (yet), I don't have any saves that would be useful.
If you want to learn a LOT about what is going on with the AI, set up a game with two human players using any races you want. Turn off random computer player and neutral generation. Start the game and turn on all AI ministers for both races. Then just keep ending turns and watching the action. Either use strategic combat, or, for even more entertainment, use tactical combat, but as your first action issue a "Resolve Combat" order. Then you can sit back and watch the AI fight itself.
