AI DEATH MATCH 2

[Master Belisarius]

I did the Tie Break between the Gron/Khrel/Toron, and thanks God, the Toron defeated the Khrel in the Last game!!!! If not I would be forced to continue playing extra games!

Khrel vs Gron.
The Gron won at the turn 500.

Gron vs Toron.
The Toron won at the turn 500 (a boring game with a military alliance until the end).

Toron vs Khrel.
The Toron got a deserved victory at the turn 380.

Then the standings in the Tie Break are:

Toron 2
Gron 1
Khrel 0

Great work on this contest MB . I am sure a lot of valuable data is produced that way. Hopefully I can find the time and review some games, once I get my new system running.

I am not much up to date with this colony bug. Is that the same thing that occured somtimes with SE4 v1.49, but was hard to track down? I don't know if you recall this, but we talked about this quite some time ago, when I was developing the Vikings. Hopefully these games can give the data to track this bug down.

cya,
Rollo

Have expected a more balanced game, but with "low bonus" the United Flora looks unstoppable!

Hehe, I wouldn't bet on this . Once they encounter your new race, they will have no chance in the organic vs. crystalline matchup.

edit: oh and btw.. in reply to your email a while back (can't access that right now): I am honored and of course you have permission to use any of the AI stuff that I did for the UF. glad you like them

Space Vikings vs Namovans.

The Space Vikings got a deserved victory against the Namovans. They won before the turn 340.

I'm glad to see you back, and hope you will have running soon the system again... Just remember to me the Last time when I lost everything in my HD, but at least you was able to rescue your info, I needed to use a backup done 3 month before the crash (my fault, I know).

And yes, I think you could find some interesting data. For example, I don't know if you already knew the problem described by Rexxx, about the ship designes.

Hugh, honestly I can't recall. Can remember that in the past we discovered that the AI could reach the max number of colony ships, all of them Colony Rock for example, and then the AI unable to colonize the available Ice/Gas planets.

This is something different: check the game between the Aquilaeian and Gron. During near of 100 turns, the Aquilaeian only built Ice colonies. Although the Aquilaeian sent to die lots of colony ships, always the new colony ship constructed were Ice colony ships...

I wouldn't bet the Tessellate would win... the UF expand very fast, and the Tessellate running in the contest is a beta Version (I did several tweaks, and still feel they need to be adjusted).

Thanks, thanks Rollo!
Always considered the UF one of the best (probably the best AI), not only for the challenge... your ideas were very original.
