AI DEATH MATCH 2

Mephisto · #1 March 17th, 2003, 07:06 PM

The AI will search in a clockwise manner for planets to colonize IIRC. Maybe there is some bug with this but I have no clue what it could be.

Toron vs Gron.

The Gron defeated the Toron at the turn 330.
The Toron's expansion was hurted by their starting place... but anyway at the turn 200 they had a decent game to play.
But the Gron's ships with Talisman decided the battle.

Khrel vs Colonials.

After some turns, was pretty obvious that the Khrel had problems to colonize all of their available planets... but the Colonials were unable to take advantage of this.
Then, the Khrel killed the Colonials slowly, planet after planet...
The Khrel won at the turn 410.

Teslik vs Narn Regime.

The Narn Regime won at the turn 270.
The Teslik had problems to colonize all the available planets, but still they has fought well, but the Narn had not problems to colonize...

Vikings vs Sallega.

The Vikings won at the turn 290.
They had not problems to defeat the Sallega.

Here the link: Vikings_vs_Sallega_B1.zip

Then the standings in the group B1 are:

Space Vikings 3
Narn Regime 2
Sallega 1
Teslik 0

Then, the Space Vikings, Narn Regime and Sallega will play in the next round.

That is the perfect description how I would like to have the Khrel. A kind of creeping doom, slowly but unstoppable.

Unfortunately it does not work this way and never will against the better AIs. The Khrel learned about the punishment for having a too low expansion rate in their game against the UF, annihilation.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea:
Entry 3 Type := Colonizer
Entry 3 Planet Per Item := 300
Entry 3 Must Have At Least := 5

In my view 300 is a so high number. It mean that during a long time, the Khrel will have only 5 colony ships.
It would be ok for some game settings, but in the average game, IMHO it will not help the Khrel: think they will colonize slowly.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. Definitely too slowly. It was a nicely "creeping doom" against the Colonials but against better AIs it means "being doomed". The next rounds will show that clearly.
That's why I like your contests so much. They open my eyes for further improvements or show me the flaws (all of my AIs have this colonizer entry).
Some more work to do but work I'm looking forward to.
