Downloading and testing your AI now.
What are the settings (maps, civs, 1.0c/UP, ...) it plays?
Edit: Testing on 1.0c now since i didn't detect any UP commands.
- You load a resign file though there isn't one included in your download.
- You researched all cavalry blacksmith upgrades before reaching the castle-age though you didn't have any/plan to train any cavalry.
- You built a second blacksmith later despite not being in a position to keep both busy.
- You didn't boom nor rush while your enemy went for a fast castle-age and boomed with 3 TC's => He reached the imperial age quickly and attacked your LSM army with arbalests. You trained some skirms to defend, but without the e-skirm nor the bodkin arrow upgrade.
This test was versus an old version of my old AI which was still comatible with 1.0c (newer ones are only compatible with the userpatch).
Sorry for only mentioning the bad things your AI did, it looked nice for a first AI!
Testing your AI vs the standard AI now.
- Your AI said "The enemy feudaled fast. Preparing for feudal war." but the first things it built when arriving in the feudal age were a market and two blacksmiths?
- The enemy didn't have any military units while you had quite some m@a and you cancelled your attack plans anyway when he advanced to the castle-age. You might have dealt quite some damage, though the enemy might also have krushed.
- You barely trained any villagers in the castle-age (TC was idle very long) since your militiaman-line training rules are above your villager training rules and always used up your food stockpiles before any villager could be trained.
- At 35 minutes your AI attacked the enemy with man-at-arms with +1/+1 (at least upgrade them to longswordsman first).
- At 45 minutes game-time your attack still didn't deal lethal damage, you had 150 pop and still didn't press the imperial-age button.
At 54 minutes the standard AI resigned.
Again i only mentioned all the negative things so that they can help you when thinking about what to improve in your AI. It is a very nice first AI!
With some adjustments it will get much stronger, but from then on out it's going to be much harder to beat the beasts that lurk in the shadows of this site. >:)
Thank you for the comments, Promi!
About the resign file, it's was actually based on the Old vs. New AI tournament (thanks for reminding) but I'll definitely put the resign rule in the script once I get Vetrix tweaked, hopefully.
Vetrix trains normally LC as a monk counter, should there be monks, just in case, so the upgrades were just to make sure that once it trains cavalry, it's strong enough not just to counter monks, but be able to kill enemies as well. It trains cavalry in some civs.
Yes, I do believe I have BIG problems dealing with transitions to ages. Best example is that Vetrix stays usually in the Feudal Age, and it seldom goes to Castle Age before the opponents can, but when the opponent gets to CA first, he'd switch plans to try get to the CA too. Before I uploaded Vetrix, I once tried using a goal in which a certain research is available, (long swordsman for example) I have to save resources, which results in reduction in training of units (only counters constantly train, for that matter). It happened to be okay, so I used it when I have enough civilian population, I would focus on advancing to Imperial Age, but then, it went bad; Vetrix dragged too long to advance to Imperial Age after it completed the needed military upgrades. I didn't noticed the villager thing though. I didn't believed the fact that when a certain training rule (villager) is above another (military), it would prioritize the first one more, since they come from different buildings. I guess I was wrong, then. And about staying for feudal war, thanks for reminding. I completely forgot to make that adjustment waaay before. Thanks again!
