Default Re: a new .map to improve AI?

I wont quote an entire post for a short answer. True that by AI I meant the computer player rather than the code. I still think any real fix to the AI whether internal or external is a long way off. At minimum it would be when people have played the full game and had a chance to comment on it.

And I feel that playing with some of the settings requested would bring some points to light.

In any case this thread isnt serving its purpose since no one has responded to the project. This thread should probably be deleted.

Gandalf, you have my thanks for this map, I have lot of fun with it.
Indeed it is lot harder to play on your map, however it won't solve the problems of the AI.
((I won't play 'normal' games with the demo, it offers no challenge. Your map offers challenge.))

Im not sure yet if the "problems" with the AI are problems, except in quick rush games. Giving the AI player certain starting advantages might solve those problems for demo play while not destroying the long-game late-play tactics of the AI.

Gee and I didnt even get carried away. I have games for Dom 1 called FastStart and BlindLuck http://www.techno-mage.com/~dominion/ and I was actualy working on one called InsaneGame when I shifted to doing that quick little Dom2 thing. Maybe I should Dom2 the insane one. Nahh I should wait for a MapEditor and a full copy of the new MapEdit docs
