I don't know why doesn't work... I have used routines in Visual Foxpro for rename/delete files, that where done for windows. I checked it and everything was ok... but I had not win2000 or XP.
Now... also I have lost the source code.... then, sorry guys, I can't change the things!

Another difference using all ministers is that you must click yes or no when deciding to attack. I don't think this can be automated so that you can just hit "end turn" repeatedly to watch a game. At least I don't know how. Based on what I have seen, it seems that the AI would always choose to attack, even if it has no chance of winning.

No, sometimes I saw the AI avoid the combat.

Here my 2 suggestions to run SE4 manually:
- play simultaneous: you only need to click 'end turn'.
- don't play the AI that you want to test, as the "human" player: usually I saw that is not the same play the AI as "human" with all the ministers "on", than run as 100% AI.

Thanks for the correction. Also, MB, any chance you could recompile your batch program to work under XP? I would really like to use it, but cannot.

Sorry my friend, but I have lost the source code...
Maybe someone have time to do a new Version, using a different computer language? I could tell him what I did, and think would be rather easy to do again.

MM has never implemented a simulation/scenario feature like SE4 batch. Could it do it into SE5 maybe? Probably we should trigger him again...

Rats! Sorry, I should have read your previous post slower as you already said that.
