Default Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Upload ye Pretenders!

For those who have been following our saga since the beginning a few notes for those who may be interested in such largely inconsequential stuff:

A. I've decided not to bother changing the actual map image to reflect the sea province required by Formoria. It was actually easier for me (since I don't have an image editor that can edit .tga and .rgb files) to simply apply an appropriate province name to explain it. Pyg's generous offer not withstanding.

B. I decided against adding AI commands for all the human teams potentially allying them with the AI Menace team largely because I didn't feel like typing up the extra 64 or so ally commands that would be needed and wanted to get the game up and running. This of course really doesn't mean anything except that when/if a human team concedes (and is set to AI) it will in theory attack the AI team if still somehow present.

Ally commands have however been added for the AI team members of course and I have added 24 ally commands for each human team to ensure that in the event a human team concedes and each nation is turned AI, they will in theory still function as a team and won't attack each other.

As in any team game, turning individual nations AI within a team is not recommended if other nations are still being played by humans, hence your best bet is to bring in alternates or subs to take over. If an entire team concedes though (having nations still alive), that is when this theoretical AI stuff will come in to play.

Just FYI. Now I offer a prayer to the gods on behalf of my myself, all team members, and anyone else who has given of their time and effort to make this game a reality and a success:

Oh ye great gods of Dominions, we pray that Llama's server (and the game) will correctly process the AI's we've added and their shall be no problems, and we ask that you grant us favor in the upcoming battles and that you smite our enemies human and non-human alike. And light a fire under the arse of those who have yet to submit their pretenders so that we may begin soon. Amen.
