1000-post-jubilee

[Kristoffer O]

I hereby post my 1000th post. So lets make it worthwile

I hereby give you tw o command line switches:

--superhost: With this switch you can force the game to autohost indefinitely. The switch overrides victory (making the game go on after you have set all humans to AI control).

--allbutermor: With this switch you can autostart a game with 16 AI controlled nations (all but ermor).

The switches work well with the --scoredump switch that extracts scores.

It is also possible that the --superhost exports some kind of scores every 50eth turn (i do not remember).

This way you can plainly see that the AI is rather good at playing Ulm and not that good at playing astral nations. Testing with different magic settings, indep settings, research settings , maps etc is rather fun.

The switches was initially used to find late game bugs.

Have fun!

PS - thank Gandalf for this one. He was the one that thought you wanted access to these switches
