AI DEATH MATCH 2

[oleg]

I checked files. It seems design creation in this case is not tailored to date or research progress, but to a signal from construction_vehicles to build new ships of the class ! That is if no new ships are needed, none are designed. I recall seeing something like this but not sure how often and when it happens.

Hmmm, I might be wrong. Sergetti build point-defence cruisers with designes 40 turns old !

Don't worry... not always is easy try to find a patern in the AI behavior.

Sallega vs Khrel

Turn 50.
The Sallega are ahead in the numbers, and expanded well, with colonies in Butukret and Rove.
Anyway, I did test between Sallega's BC attack ships against LC Khrel ships, most the time the Khrel ships won.

Turn 100.
The Khrel control now their nearest systems, and have a fleet into the Aargau system, and are first in the numbers.
Now, a BC Sallega can defeat without problems the CR Khrel ships.

Turn 150.
Similar to above... only that now the Khrel erased the Sallega colonies at Aargau, although does exist a big fleet of them in that system.

Turn 200.
The Sallega are falling. The Khrel control Aargau, Ashadra, mostly Baksha and started to destroy planets at Aar.

Turn 240. Game over: the Khrel won.

Earth Alliance vs Drakol
Turn 50.
But races signed a TR alliance, and the EA is ahead in the numbers. Both races colonized their nearest systems.

Turn 90.
Similar to above. The EA have the double of points.

Turn 100.
Idem. But now the EA colonized 79 planets and the Drakol 32.
The Drakol have the problem with the Colony ships... They only have built 5 and are only gas colonies.

Turn 150.
Now they are at war (thanks God!).
And although nothing happened yet, the situation doesn't look well for the Drakol.

Turn 210.
The Drakol lost Rove and mostly Cuyrok.
They have not colonized most of the available planets.
Although undesrtand it's a bug, still they never had many colony ships... For example, at this point they only have 3.

Turn 300.
The EA won.

Corrian vs CueCappa.

Turn 53.
The Corrian colonized the systems in contact with their homeworld, but doesn't explored the other systems.
In the other hand, the Cue Cappa already have colonies at AAr, Baksha and the next turn in Aargau.

Turn 70.
The CueCappa started to kill the Corrian systems... seems to be that this will be a very fast game.

Turn 100.
Game Over. The Cue Cappa won very fast!

So far the colony ship bug is the big one to get over in this death match. I don't remember it being as common in the previous one, did the new patch change anything related to this (besides always using MC)?

As always, thanks for doing the contest!
