AI DEATH MATCH 2

Gandalph · #1 February 18th, 2003, 05:34 AM

Would it be possible to get another race into the mix? I wouldn't mind checking to see how my own AI's stack up.

Hey, you'll do all the work (as you did the Last time). It's only fair then to use your preferences.

Considering that most of the systems has 5 asteroids, I could create one asteroid for Mineral, other for Farm, other for Radioactives, other for Research/Intel, and one more with possibilities for Mineral/Farm/Rad (for example 120%/120%/120%).

That's exactly what I meant. Instead of "random" I should have written "different" values.

But:
- I'm not sure about how to keep the balance, creating more diversity.
- A system with planets with 140%/100%/100%, would be ok as Farming or Rad, if the AI is lack of resources in one of these things.

Good points, too.

That would be great.

Again, good point. The only solution I can think of would be raising the number of planets per system and giving it a second thought it's probably not worth the effort.

Then, please don't take offense, and if you want, feel free to change the original map to your taste, and send me a copy. I will be happy to see and apply your ideas if consider it fair for all the kind of races.

No offense taken. That's just fair.

Thanks for including the Khrel. I will send the files on Friday.

this sounds pretty cool

good idea...

i only wish we could do real heuristic ai programming, using alpha-beta trees and whatnot like the chess programs do

The answer is "yes".
I could extend the limit from 30 to 32 (with 8 Groups with 4 each).
Send me the files.

Excellent! The previous death match was great. I'm glad to see there will be another one.

Hope this one will be interesting... considering that more AIs will be involved, and that most of the AI modders did several improvements to their races.
