For Your Amusement: Some Super AI performing tricks

[Whoha]

Ok I got it, and some ai stupidity, the pirates sent their first gun foil to go bombard a fungal tower... for 20 turns so far, with no damage done to it...

[Whoha]

Wow, planet cult got wiped out and restarted with an ogre.

If you've never tried this, it's pretty fun to watch the AI battle each other. Games go fast. Ctrl-K to get the scenario editor from a regular game, then Shift-F3 to 'Switch Sides', but choose to 'Watch player', rather than play them. You then have to usually press end turn to let the games begin. Holding down the return key (or feeding it return keys with an external program loop) will keep the game going almost indefinately. On occasion the AI won't know what to do when a combat unit is in a city, and the return-key won't pass them by. Mostly though, it runs itself. -S

Kody has developped a program for CMN's whereby the CMN can change a a PBEM player's Faction into an AI Faction, if it is determined this is the best course for a PBEM. Is this what your asking about?

Erm I meant via the scenario editor as smacksim lined out. I found out that if I just eliminate my faction that it works.

Here are the drones who are in an odp war with me.

Ha, proof that the testers didn't test an orbital fight: I've killed 10 of his odps so far, and it reads -8/6 instead of 0/6.

Just discovered something annoying. If you place a bunker on a mag rail, and an enemy steps over it, It uses that units turn and says "captured bunker!".

[smacksim]

Yeah, that's perhaps the best thing about bunkers. Turn Slag.

It was mearly a comment on Mystery Food, and I am deeply sorry if any of you were offended...

[smacksim]

Too late Commy. You caused a revolution in food mining.

[Commy]

Food mining? I am sorry, but I thought food was grown, not mined. So, maybe that's why cheese gives you indigestion, it was mined...

[smacksim]

He wished for language skills, but not for the sense of humor to appreciate them.

Not Aldebaran, but just my first experiment in scattering boreholes accross the map.

I'm the Spartans.. Never even had one AI build sattelites before and now I've got a rampant Hive on my hands..



edit: ok so I can't figure out how to make the image display, sorry
