I have found something odd, when testing the AI that I am doing right now. After the AI has researched Mines 1 it adds Mines 2-5 to the research queue at some later time even though it is not supposed to (not until much later). I have at least triple checked the research.txt file and even removed higher levels of mines technology completely, but it still add mines 2-5 to the queue. Has anyone experienced the same? Is this a bug?
BTW, speaking of bugs and the research file. To all newbie AI makers (like myself): The parameters in the research file are not working. The AI will always have 4 projects in the queue no matter what you do. Knowing this in advance, might save you some frustration. (I found it out the hard way
).
I assume this bug is already known by MM, since it has been discussed in the forum. Hopefully they will squash it soon, as it will make the AI research much more effective and the AI stronger.
