AI DEATH MATCH 2

[mlmbd]

Master Belisarius; Why to you, and others, think the UF are so much superior to the other AI? Maybe I can identify something! Not that will really do me much good.

CueCappa vs Khrel.

The CueCappa won by points at the turn 500. Although the Khrel controled less planets, the difference of points was not so high.

With the current game settings (one against one, low-bonus), and the custom map that I did (where both AIs can research deep into the tech tree), they can reach all of their potential as Organic/Religious.
Is not easy for others AI races, fight against the Talisman. A human could find a work around, but the AIs can't.
But also does exist other Religious races in the contest: Narn and Tessellate.
The Narn won the previous contest, but currently they have resource problems playing with "low bonus" and this map... also, they already played against the UF and they lost 2 times.
The Tessellate could defeat the UF, thanks their skip armor weapons. But probably the UF would win anyway, because they expand more fast than the Tessellate, and like all my AI races, the Tessellate have problems with research/intel in the current map.

EEE vs Tessellate.

Starting in the upper side, the EEE had big problems to expand... then, the Tessellate won at the turn 170.

Fazrah vs Narn Regime.

The Narn Regime won by points, at the turn 500. The Fazrah offered a good combat, and most the time was a balanced game.

Here the link: Fazrah_vs_Narn_Regime_D4.zip

[Master Belisarius]

Group D1
Space Vikings 4
Toron 2
Orks 0

Group D2
Pyrochette 3
CueCappa 3
Khrel 0
I will run a Tie-Break to determine the first place.

Group D3
Tessellate 4
Aquilaeian 2
EEE 0

Group D4
United Flora 4
Narn Regime 2
Fazrah 0

Then, the 8 AI that will go to the next round are:

Space Vikings, Toron, Pyrochette, CueCappa, Tessellate, Aquilaeian, United Flora and Narn Regime.
Interesting, but except the Tessellate and CueCappa that have not played the previous contest, the others 6 AIs were under the 8 first AIs in the first contest.

Master Belisarius,

You just wait until I get the AI done for the Puntherraian's (this is never going to happen). They will rise to the top!

Thanks for the info about the UF!

Why not? As I told you, to me is far more hard to do a nice shipset, than a good AI!

No problem!
Hey, the Pyrochette won the first Tie-reak game against the CueCappa... then, now is probably that you was right and I was wrong, about who would win the Group D2!

Pyrochette vs CueCappa

The Pyrochette won by points at the turn 500.
The CueCappa attacked the Aargau and Ashadra systems, but the Pyrochette attacked the systems Abrion, Cewandi, Cretirk and Cephedri, then, think they got a deserved victory.

CueCappa vs Pyrochette.

The CueCappa won at the turn 330.
They always had the initiative and the Pyrochette were unable to counter-attack.
Then, the CueCappa got the first place in the Group D2, because they won in 330 turns and the Pyrochette at the turn 500. (Hey mlmbd, at the end, my prediction was right! ).

Here the link: CueCappa_vs_Pyrochette_D2TB2.zip

Then, here are the 2 Groups for the round 5:

GROUP E1
Space Vikings
Tessellate
Pyrochette
Narn Regime

GROUP E2
CueCappa
United Flora
Toron
Aquilaeian
