MB, what races are in the finals so far?

Currently I'm running the semifinals, and are 4 races.

Group 2
United Flora vs Aquilaeian

Vikings vs Tessellate.

Starting in the down side, the Tessellate defeated the Vikings at the turn 350.

Here the link: Vikings_vs_Tessellate_G1B.zip

I think the luck will decide this balanced semi-final!

Tessellate 2 Points.
Space Vikings 2 Points.

Still need to run 2 more games, but if ater it still we have a draw, I will run a tie-break like did in the past...

Hi Master Belisarius,
It took me a while to get SE4 Batch running, but finally it did.

At least the workaround was ok for you.

Does your program make a command line voor SE4 based on the variabels you provide in the mainscreen and in the configuration screen ??

Yes, you're 100% right.

Could you explain if it so what commandlines you are using ?

I'm using command lines to run SE4.EXE, that is a feature from the 1.39 patch (Check the File link down).

Furthermore i hope that you will take the time to make SE4 batch again and available for all Versions of Windows.

My problem is that my skills programming for windows, are very limited... and do it again in Visual Fox doesn't look very smart to me!

I for sure am very interested !
Thanks in advance.

If someone wants to do again this program but in a different language, here an example of how could be the code: HowTodSE4Batch.zip

Tessellate vs Space Vikings.

The Vikings had the initiaative during most part the time. The Tessellate destroyed some of their own systems, trying to stop the attackers.

Turn 410.
The Vikings are rebuilding Ab Ova, Aargau and Ashadra.
The Tessellate conquered Abrion and started to attack Cewandi.
At this point, althoutgh the Tessellate is ahead in the numbers, think the game could be for the Vikings too, because they have good fleets inside the Tessellate's territory.

Turn 500.
The Tessellate won by points, although they controled less systems.

Still I need to run a game, and if the Vikings can defeat the Tessellate, then, I will run a Tie-Break.

MB - I use your map and your batch program to test my revised AI's. In my Last test game, the Corrian opened a warp point to the Game Master system and blew up their star. Interesting behavior and glad to see that they use Stellar Manip so effectively. Also the first time I have seen this happen. BTW, they beat the Rage by points at turn 300. Still need to make them stronger.

Aquilaeian vs United Flora.

This time, the UF won at the turn 327, and then, they go to the final!

Standings in the group G2 finish with an expressive 4-0 for the United Flora!

Hey, very cool!
Yes, if the AI have Warp Openers, will use it. But only to open holes to unexplored systems.

Very good! Great that you had time to continue tweaking the scripts.

Space Vikings vs Tessellate.

After a long and balanced game, the Tessellate won by points at the turn 500.

With this result, the Tessellate did 4 points and the Vikings finished with 2 points.

Here the link: Vikings_vs_Tessellate_G1C.zip

Then this night I'll start the final between the Tessellate and the United Flora.
Will be 8 games (plus a Tie-break if does exist a draw).
Also, if an AI can get a result like 5-0, the final will be over...

Although I did not yet games between both races with this map/settings (I did some with more AIs, when was doing the AI for the Tessellate), my guess is that the UF should win without big problems.

@Master Belisarius,
Thanks for the information. If i can get Turbo Pascal to work and my programming skills are not failing me i will have a go.

Allright, the main event is about to start!

This means Vikings are 3rd place, right?
