Big MC,
you would be more than welcome
MrBaggins,
Yes, I agree. It shall be more about preemptive stuff. But I can't really see the AI handling it so well. That was one reason why I was thinking about this model.
OK my values could be set to a higher value to 'plan' in advance. But I am not sure, that would be a question for our programmers:
Can we have individual build lists for the AI per city?Comment

Right then what about this one. The base animation is off the net and I can get the spr version compiled today

Looks great
You think you can get something with a city in the background? Just to get a better idea?Comment

Yes... no reason why not.Originally posted by Gilgamensch

That system you mentioned could certainly be done, but in some cases, its better to not do the stupid thing that you have to react to, in the first place.
The AI is a subject unto its own. The fact that the AI can't handle certain things isn't a limit on what can be done, its on how things have been done.
To me, hard-coded behaviors like that aren't the solution, because they aren't even close to the ways that humans work... choices of behaviors compete based on current and historic information, and they do so in a globally consistant manner.
This isn't impossible to model; text files can certainly contain priority lists, and conditions that effect those (and other... to make the system globally consistant) can be made, based on game state, and statistical history.
I really have three major conceptual issues... making realistic goals and some of the intricacies of unit mission planning and how grand strategy (victory type and approach) be incorporated into the AI.Comment

Thanks MC, but..........
I forgotten how to open it...........too long ago I played with the graphics..I am no good at........
EDIT
Stupid me, we have it right on Apolyton..................(please no comments

MrBaggins,
how were you thinking to overcome the bad AI-behaviour?
My idea was a using txt-files, where modders could set certain thresholds. Like when to build what.........Last edited by Gilgamensch; February 6, 2004, 09:28.Comment

You are planning to put it onto/over the city?Comment

Basically so, Gilgamensch...
Probability lists, with conditional alterations to those lists... and that would be implemented for all behavior.
My thoughts are in the AI Improvement Discussion thread.Comment

is there any other graphics we need.

we have already got a fire sprite gx11.spr
I was thinking more in the line of a splash screen when you first have a celebration or revolt."Every time I learn something new it pushes some old stuff out of my brain" Homer Jay Simpson

You know civ 2 when you captured a city you had a screen. Something like that.
