Now, this time is a smart move by AI.
Same game as above. Korea (my MPP but he was North of Babylon, and I was at South of Babylon) made peace with babylon (which made me mad

). To trigger MPP, I sent a capture worker to the border of babylon. Next to him was a vet japan's infantry (in my land). Instead of capturing my free worker, a babylon cavalry attacked the Japan's infantry. The babylon cav lost, and it didnt trigger my MPP with korea (I didnt know before)

. Oh well, so I gave korea a lux in exchange of war with babylon.

I have not see the code, of course, but it could be that the logic required for the second event is straight forward. That is, no need to track a number of variables. Just make a check for MPP's before attacking anyone and consider that.

The former is likely a case of not enough depth in the logic and coming down to flip of the coin (rng) to decide the action.

Granted, it would seem that one action was better than the other, but the logic is compound and complex.

I was playing the other day Mongols attacked and took a city of mine guarded by an MI with only a cavalary!!
P.S what does rng stang for anyway? I have herd many people talking about it lately

RNG - random number generator.

Re: The Most Stupidest Thing AI Ever Done

Just took a 9 pop. babylon city (Original 12 size, it had uranium and Iron). I place
1 MA Army (it consists of 4 Elite MAs)
1 Ver MI
5 Injured Elite/Vet MA
babylon wanted to take it back, and he used
1 SINGLE REG CAVALRY

The AI is often way more stupid than this. Anyone noticed how your tiny, angry 2 town neighbour will always declare war on your 50+ cities and nuclear arsenal??

**vmxa1** · April 21, 2004, 14:51

This is not so stupid, when you consider it has nothing to lose.

**spy14** · April 21, 2004, 15:56

It could result in annihilation. Which by my maths is worse than just being a minnow.

**Solomwi** · April 21, 2004, 16:38

In the real world, yes, but not in a game where the ultimate goal is domination.

**vmxa1** · April 21, 2004, 17:08

Losing is annihilation for the game. It ends the civs is gone. Hence, nothing to lose.

Did u fight against several AIs at once at that time? Most likely what he did was to increase your WW. IMO, its a smart move, especially if the AI was far away from your location.

@ellias : That what I called bad luck. Reading some thread, I read a spearman may kill a MA when been attacked (probably on the hill etc). But I never read a cav could kill Full-Elite-MA-Army.

@vmax1 : yes, probably the rng, BTW if he could capture my worker, I could get it back the next turn

**spy14** · April 22, 2004, 12:42

Its happened in major wars or after long periods of peace (although predominantly during major wars, the WW is a good point)

VXMA1, I also see your point but I think that argument at base level probably comes down to opinions about how realistic the game should remain.

Maybe so and I am in the I do not need a lot of realism group.

**spy14** · April 22, 2004, 17:02

Opposite to me then! I want things as real world as possible

**vmxa1** · April 22, 2004, 17:38

They call those simulators.
