Re: AI longtime simulation feature
...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).

Re: AI longtime simulation feature
"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). "
Autosave. You can set it to save every 10 turns.. though I think it's overwriten by the next save.
If it is, a program could be made that sends F12, waits a few seconds, sends F12, repeat, and copies the autosave every 10 times it does that.

Checked it, the autosaves are overwritten by the next one. So your batch program idea would kick in, but isn't it a problem with function keys ? As far as I remember, they are not buffered like the other keys.
Ideas ?

Re: AI longtime simulation feature
Also remember to turn off the "Confirm End of Turn" option.

Re: AI longtime simulation feature
I'm not a programer, so it was just a suggestion

Re: AI longtime simulation feature
Hi again,
unfortunately I had a blackout sometime around 1:00 p.m., but my nose was not upon F12, when I woke up 
I think it could be easier to motivate Aaron to patch in a non-overwriting savegame solution. This should not be too difficult, savegame001, savegame002, ... |

Re: AI longtime simulation feature
I did a program to simulate the longtime AI run.
Please note that when the turns go on, the game takes more time to run and save the files, then, you should increase the Delay between games to avoid SE4's error Messages...
