Adamant Mod Discussion Thread

[Atrocities]

So when can we expect a new Version? I am half way through one of my small games now, and kickin butt. No surprise, the AI has no clue on what to research. LOL.

[Fyron]

When I get enough free time to finish 0.13.31 and generate the next Adamant mod PBW game turns!

[Fyron]

Version 0.13.32 has been released! This Version requires Gold Patch 4, Version 1.91.

This will be the final patch in the 0.13.xx line. I am freezing the mod into this state for the remainder of the PBW beta test games games. I will continue to work on the mod, but the updates will not be used for those games. There are things I wish to do that break savegame compatibility. Of course, if critical game-stopping bugs are discovered, I will release a new 0.13.xx patch for this game to use to fix it.

How goes the AI for SP games?--

[AMF]

OK, so, if I wanted to jump in from a completely ignorant point of view, having never used/played Adamant before, is this the full Version I would use to start up a solitaire game? I think I'm at the point where I am unable to resist at least checking it out...

thanks,

Alarik

Unfortunately, alarikf, I thought you could have a solo game also, but I think it was Fyron who reminded me that it's only for multi-play as of right now. I wish I could play this solo, but I guess we'll both have to be patient.

[AMF]

OOh. I think I'm having a Deja Vu. I think I asked this exact same question a few weeks ago and had the same answer. I totally forgot about that...sigh. I'll blame old age.

...I'm in just too many games to join another PBW one though, so I'll just have to wait until I finish one before trying Adamant multiplayer...

thanks,

Alarik

The Space Monsters are the only race that has working AI. So, you could play a single player game with yourself and a monster race.

[AMF]

Well, at least that way I could get a feel for the mod to see if I wanted to jump into a multiplayer PBW game...

thanks,

Well I managed to get two things done for the A Mod.

I was able to get a working prototype for the Ticon Research file done, and a general_Ai research file.

I have not tested the General AI file yet, but I hope it works.

Now onto the Design Creation file.
