Freeciv now has AI diplomacy

[Per]

The code in CVS now contains AI support for diplomacy. You no longer start out automatically at war with the AIs, and you can make peace and alliances with them, as well as exchange techs and give gifts.

Their behaviour tends towards "king of the hill", which means they will gang up on the strongest player. However, they tend to be pretty good allies, as long as you honour the alliance too.

Please give it a try if you can, and let me know what you think about it. I am sure a lot of adjustments are needed still.

Cool.

Kudo's Per!

Damn, and here I am with my normal internet connection down

[telex4]

I'd like to try this, but now my client crashes when connecting to the server. I get this output:

I've attached some strace info, if it's of any help.

I had the client working fine on my last checkout, about a week ago.

I just noticed you can set debug levels with the client (or rather, I thought it would make sense, so looked and found the option ). Here's a mor everbose output of when it crashes (starting a new game, I can connect, and it crashes when I've chosen my leader (so the game will start proper).

[Per]

You should send in a bug report so that the SDL client maintainer can take care of this (I don't know how often he reads this forum). Email all the info you got to rt @ freeciv.org .

In the meantime, you can always try to compile another client.

[telex4]

You need to grab the CVS code. These instructions should work for you:

[geoffrey arnold]

does it work for windows?

[Per]

It works for Windows, but there are no Windows version binary downloads yet with this. I will create some once we've managed to remove some more bugs.

[maubp]

Sounds like a good step forward. I look forward to playing with a windows build...
