AI Campaign => For a Challenging AI opponent

[JLS]

MB, can you send your save game on this, because it is not fair to speculate.

The AI does colonize very well in AIC, and as we all do see, this AI will stay very competitive through out the game

JLS.
The AI colonizes all the planet types in my games but sometimes it will skip a few planets.
Any idea why?

On thing for sure is the AI does play outstanding.
Good job and keep up he good work

Just was a comment about the SunDevil post... and no, I don't have a savefile and sorry if I was just speculating. Simply seemed to me like the "colony bug" thing that I saw many times.

Finally, want to say that "Colony Bug" ship have nothing to be with an special MOD, it's a hardcoded behavior... although can be avoided in part using different lines for Gas, Ice and Rock colonizers into the contruction_vehicles.txt

JLS,

My intention has not been to take over this topic with what is happening with my mod. I am not going to ever release this mod, and I wasn't trying to get you or anyone else to troubleshoot the changes I have made to your mod. I just saw a situation in which the ai did not expand or colonize in certain situations during my games, I only mentioned it within this topic to see if you saw these circumstances as well, like I have done numerous other times in numerous other issues. This will be mostly likely my Last post in this topic, thanks for all your help and for making a great mod.

Just based on what MB said in the previous post, he is a copy of some of ai states in the ai_construction_vehicle file of the STOCK AIC MOD.

When the ai is in this state, as long as the ai player has two active colony ships, it will not build anymore. So if the ai is stuck within this state fighting with another race for an extended amount of time it will not build any colony ships unless the number drops below two. I have no idea where it is determined if the ai player actually colonizes a planet or not with the two available colony ships. There is no set specific types of colony ships specified in this state.

In this ai state of defense, as long as the ai player has at least one colony ship it will not build anymore. So if the ai stays in this state for a prolonged period of time, as long as the ai has at least one colony ship of any type, it will not build anymore. There is no set specific colony type ships within in this state.

I posted this Last state as an example of the ai most likely building enough colony ships of different types and their placement towards the top of the queue to provide the ai an opportunity to colonize planets, where as the other ai states do not possess these characteristics.

In the other states that are not posted there are colony type specific ships listed within the state, but they are at the bottom of the queue in each state.

I have a copy of a saved stock AIC mod game around turn 225 where all I did was hit end of turn 225 times for my race and checked the ai players every 50 turns or so. The ai didn't really expand in that game either. If you want me to send you a copy let me know.

SunDevil

P.S. If you go to the abbidon ai construction vehicles.txt file and look at the Infrastructure state, if you count each entry type you will notice this:

Entry 13 Type := Defense Base-SB
Entry 13 Planet Per Item := 100
Entry 13 Must Have At Least := 1
Entry 14 Type := Colonizer
Entry 14 Planet Per Item := 80
Entry 14 Must Have At Least := 1
Entry 15 Type := Troop
Entry 15 Planet Per Item := 1
Entry 15 Must Have At Least := 0
Entry 10 Type := Weapon Platform

Entry 11 Type := Satellite
Entry 11 Planet Per Item := 5
Entry 11 Must Have At Least := 1

Entry 12 Planet Per Item := 10
Entry 12 Must Have At Least := 1
Entry 13 Type := Satellite Layer
Entry 13 Planet Per Item := 100
Entry 13 Must Have At Least := 2

This might be causing problems, it might be something to look into.

P.S. Do you know what the ai difficulty setting is suppose to affect? So if I chose a high ai difficulty game with a high bonus game what would the ai in terms of advantages be set at.

Those settings determine which AI ministers are available to the AIs. High means all, Medium means some are unavailable (partial crippling), low means many are unavailable (crippling).

Fyron, this is a question, not a statement by me.
In regards to AI Difficulty:

Is it also tied into AI Settings file.
Personality Group := 3
-----

Tied into DATA Settings file:

Random Player Personality Groups := 4
Random Player Personality Group 1 Percent := 30
Random Player Personality Group 2 Percent := 30
Random Player Personality Group 3 Percent := 30
Random Player Personality Group 4 Percent := 10
=====
That ties into the Start New Game (Players Menu Interface)

Example: Computer Players Difficulty of:
Low, med, high

SunDevil, this is not the only area in se4 programming that AIC has strayed from the norms you and others may be used to, as many have seen thru play, the AI Players competitiveness, excells in AI Campaign.

Other then, AIC’s Infrastructure variation. The other States are textbook, with Aaron Halls defaults groupings. Also, includes a variation of MB’s AI Colonizer efficiency protocol.

Others that play AIC do attest, that the AI does colonize well, and the Human Player must play a good game thru out; in order to keep up with this AI

If the Colonizers, where to be moved up in Priority or a PPI added to the Colonizers in some AI State groupings, as you may be suggesting SunDevil. The AI Player WILL in FACT make more Colonizers and then burden the Human Players as opposed to just challenge the Human Player in a starting [None Bonus AI Game].

SunDevil.
In regards to many Colonizers in the Prepare Attack and Attack States, you do not expect the AI Player to Attack with Colonizers. The Colonizers will come from the Secure Holdings State and only if Victorious from the Attack State.

In regards to many Colonizers in ANY DEFENSE STATE, you do not expect the AI Player to DEFEND ITSELF with Colonizers do you SunDevil?

There is a lot of thought that must go into an AI Players Vehicle Construction file. It cannot be arbitrary.



Reference

Infrastructure state, if you count each entry type you will notice this:

Entry 13 Type := Defense Base-SB
Entry 13 Planet Per Item := 100
Entry 13 Must Have At Least := 1
Entry 14 Type := Colonizer
Entry 14 Planet Per Item := 80

Entry 12 Planet Per Item := 10
Entry 12 Must Have At Least := 1
Entry 13 Type := Satellite Layer
Entry 13 Planet Per Item := 100
Entry 13 Must Have At Least := 2

This might be causing problems, it might be something to look into:

Since I programed this SD, and it works without errors, the AI will do what I want, when I want and how I want.
When it is supposed to do it, as per its se4 AI State Change Logic.

P.S. Do you know what the ai difficulty setting is suppose to affect? So if I chose a high ai difficulty game with a high bonus game what would the ai in terms of advantages be set at.

Those settings determine which AI ministers are available to the AIs. High means all, Medium means some are unavailable (partial crippling), low means many are unavailable (crippling).

Fyron, this is a question, not a statement by me.

Huh? What are you talking about? That was a question SunDevil asked, and it recieved no answer until I answered it.

In regards to AI Difficulty:

Is it also tied into AI Settings file.
Personality Group := 3
-----

Tied into DATA Settings file:

Random Player Personality Groups := 4
Random Player Personality Group 1 Percent := 30
Random Player Personality Group 2 Percent := 30
Random Player Personality Group 3 Percent := 30
Random Player Personality Group 4 Percent := 10
=====
That ties into the Start New Game (Players Menu Interface)

Example: Computer Players Difficulty of:
Low, med, high

Umm... no. Those settings have absolutely nothing to do with AI difficulty. Those same settings are used no matter which difficulty you choose.

Since I programed this SD, and it works without errors, the AI will do what I want, when I want and how I want.
When it is supposed to do it, as per its se4 AI State Change Logic.

You don't think the repeated numbers are a problem? There are two Entry 10s, 11s, 12s, and 13s. They look problematic to me...
