Saber, You are quite right about the headaches of programming AI in Dominions. That was shown in the forum when we asked for flowcharts and ai scripts which would fix things. Some tried and quickly shifted from whiners about the ai to just low grumbles.

Hey - I put quite some work into my suggested algorithm(s) to fix the castle and troop building.

Noone ever tested them, you included.
And I can't do a dozend of test games all on my own for sure!

And IMHO MStavros is mostly correct. It's a shame that the most obvious, AI-crippling bugs are not fixed in Dom2: That it can't build castles, but only get them from sites/events, and does not recruit indie mages.

If you put a bunch of admin-30 castles on a map, it will go for them quickly, though, and start building 'serious' armies. It will not start recruiting indie mages, unfortunately.

And I can't really understand why this is not fixed - other than because the devs/shrapnel think we better should buy Dom3 ... .

Alas, this is not the kind of support I want for games I buy... .
