hi ,

thats correct , the AI shall try to follow what its program tells it do , .....

we could maybe see the AI loosing everything just trying to bring one of the 10 000 culture points for free goods , but that unlikely , firaxis should have this balanced , .....

and since Soren gave the AI a more less " learning " cap , we could see it going further this time , ....

have a nice day

Well, a basic part of game-playing AI is thinking what move the oppoent would make (Y) if you do (X), and chosing X accordingly. (Well, several layers deeper than that, but that's the idea)

So, the AI should be strongly protecting the relic and keeping it out of danger as well.

hi ,

one can only wonder at this point , but its more then likely that the AI shall still be able to see the map and all of the units , ....

lets hope the AI does not put everything on protecting the relic and leaving no protection what so ever for the rest , .....

have a nice day

hmm. i am really looking forward to the JApan scenario. Well, actually, I most want the improvements to the epic game.... But the japan Scenario looks pretty cool, other than that, rise of rome looks good.

EDIT: I most want to play the new AU mods for conquests.

The AI does a reasonable job protecting its Kings in regicide games so I think the AI will do well here also.

The Fall of Rome / Napoleon...

I am torn between these two...

I played 15mm Ancients for quite a while;
I also have 25mm & 15mm English / Napoleonic Armies...

So I am very interested how Civ III deals with these periods and the variuos issues that relate to them.

I suppose that I will play the "Fall of Rome" first...!

[Fried-Psitalon]

I like Fall of Rome a lot - warmongers (shocking surprise) will love it too - I just can't call it a favorite because I spent more time testing it than any other scenario.

I still see that map in my sleep, months later.

hi ,

, but sometimes the AI does a job to the extreme , with the king unit for example , puttting 25 troops around it and leaving town and cities nearly unprotected , ......

have a nice day

For some reason, I think its the Mesopotamian Scenario

Its the only one I can think of that could possibly be easier.

BTW, based on the preview alone, I've already started to think of new ideas to mod that scenario with.

Dad fought in WW2 so I will probably play it first. I am looking forward to all of them!! Only 3 more days...

On the other hand, like everyone says (way too often), "There's always the editor".

hi ,

Slax , go and take a look at the screenshots thread , link below in sig


and dont worry on what beta testers say , the dont know whats going on , most of the time , ....

have a nice day

[Fried-Psitalon]

I would say that in this case some of the beta testers are quite well-informed, actually. It's the people who stare at screenshots and rumor clips and pontificate that don't know what's going on...most of the time.

F-P:
