AI longtime simulation feature

Me too I would welcome such a AI longtime simulation possibility.

Hey Shyrka, do you know "Fritz", my favorite chess program ? It has a self-optimizing engine which does not make the same error for a second time.

For SEIV this would be future music, but what a potential ! EDIT: "dreams of the future", of course. I am still thinking too much in german.

Regards from a dreaming PTF...

Really? Then that's exactly what I was thinking. SE4 is so deep that for making the AI more effective some training algorithm is needed.

Any "Fritz" related web page?

Sure,

I don't have the ver 7, this has been published just recently ,I have got ver 6, the older Versions are a lot cheaper.

Saludos Chaval!

Hey, I agree 100% with you... but sadly, this never will be for SE4. But I hope that SEV or SEVI (or something other 4X game!), will have an AI with learning capabilities some day.

Do you know what ? I have found an interim solution:

-set up a game with cheat codes allowed
-quick research shields until system grav. shield facility, with the "money" cheat
-quick research stellar manipulation until gravitational condensor
-close all warp points to your home system(s)
-build a system grav. shield
-Under Empire Options: turn off "show log at start of turn", and turn off "display confirmation dialog when ending turn"

And then put your coffee mug onto your F12 key...

Next morning: Release F12.

But an additional savegame with increasing indices every 10 or 20 turns would be nice (idea of Rollo, we had a short discussion about this).

...but the random events should be considered, either you use the Lucky trait or turn off the events completely. Most times I turn off the events and the ruins also in longterm sims because the impact is sometimes too much for a comparison (e.g. I saw a weak race which found another colony tech in a ruin and all of a sudden the score ran beyond the roof).
