TDM AI's

Ragnarok-X · #1 June 1st, 2004, 12:03 PM

Mephisto is right. Each planet size has a Last line with usually tells the AI to build like 100 research facilities once all other queues are done. So in fact in wont "harm" the AI, it may just not build with maximum effiency

(i.e. a planet with 150% value in all 3 ressources may get flooded with research facilities once x mining facilities are build)

Does the AI look at the mineral\organic\radiation
value before decieding what to build first or
does it decide on its needs at the time?

The AI decides on the resources value of the planets, not on its actual needs - sadly. There is only one exception: When the Ai has a negative income it will make the next colony of the need resources - this time disregarding any resource values. Worst case in this scenario is that you get a 0% resource planet.

This is one of the major points I'd like to see improved in SEV.

I wondered why it built some mines on a 5% mineral
planet. Thanks for the help.

One thing that bothers me about the TDM is I can't find the Romulan.txt name file and some others...anyone know where they got put?

I looked in the folders where they are supposed to be but nada (dsgname I think its name is).

I checked my TDM download and all the files
seemed there. The only file that sounds like
the one you mention is Dsgnname.

Its names for the ships. Not sure it ever was.
I downloaded ship names for all the trek races
some months ago. But I don't think it was from
the TDM site.

I'll email you them all if you need them.

If you are looking for ship names files, you want to get the Design Names Anthology.
