The General 1.2s

[Leif Ericson]

The ultimate plan is for this AI is to have different personalities to play with each game by selecting from at least five generals per civ. The personalities are meant to reflect the styles of different generals or leaders of the Middle Ages, hence the name of the AI. The AI has the same name as a previous AI of mine, but they're not related at all, just based on the same concept.

The zip file below contains several different AIs named after lower commander ranks which will load different code to mimic play at various difficulty levels:
Extreme: The General
Hardest: The Captain
Hard: The Lieutenant (used to be called The Sergeant)
Moderate: The Sergeant (used to be called The Squire)
Standard: The Conscript

The non-General AIs simply set a goal to the desired difficulty level, whereas The General will set the same goal according to the actual difficulty of the game. So, on Hard difficulty The General will play exactly the same as The Lieutenant.

Civs supported (all civs except Armenians and Georgians are technically playable, but only these civs have been tested and refined):
The General: Aztecs, Britons, Franks, Huns, Incas, Khmer, Magyars, Mayans
All other commanders: Random, except Armenians and Georgians

All previous versions are available here: link

Comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks everyone! glhf

Team Goals:

The General's team coordination is very limited at the moment, but it does use these commonly accepted goals:

Goal 11 (Town Under Attack): 0 = safe, 1 = town under attack
Goal 46 (Team Position - Pocket/Flank): 1 = flank, 2 = pocket
Goal 392 (Attacking): 0 = not attacking, 1 = attacking
Goal 420 (Identity): The General uses 1492
Goal 499 (Michi cut priority): 4535 = michi cut priority. The General never requests this, but maybe it will someday.
Goals 478/479 (Position Self): 478 = x location, 479 = y location

Thx Leif, i love the concept.
Already tested it. Basics are done. Maybe some issues with the boar (took long to get the 2nd boar after having been found a bite late)
Concerning the other stuffs, and as you said,let's work on some brain
