- added better conditions for age advancement to match enemy players
- delayed market construction for some strategies
- adjusted build order to train more vils in Dark Age
- added hardcoded retreat if first attack lasted until 30 min mark
- added long-term strategies and adjusted desired military for them
- added civ-specific desired military counts for Azt, Bri, Inc, Ind, & Myn
- added crush strategy for Indians
- increased market trading
- increased trade cart training in late game

small feedback :

tested a 2v2 huns + aztec versus Natural Selection.

The aztec had such a bad map with a forest quiet far. The first LC was built in the middle of nowhere ; despite a dropsite-min-distance > 15 it built a farm. Fortunately, it built a 2nd LC before starting spamming other farms, which is a good symptome. My suggestion would be to build a first farm only when you have got at least one LC built correctly, to prevent a mess.

I get why the_general builds a defensive tower asap in feudal, considering that most of the UP AIs use to train armies in feudal ; but i think that the AI might take the decision to build a tower or not regarding what the enemy is gonna do ; the 125 stone used is a waste if the enemy is just gonna FC. In davis cup, The General will face many old school AIs in first rounds, and some of them wont have any early army. You should give to General the opportunity to save the stone for the early castle-age, if a tower isn't requiered.

In imperial age, The General as huns did the whole job ; The aztec had issues in attacking its opponent, its units remaining static at home despite being 80. I remember having had a similar issue with Pharaon, it was due to a bug with the target-player-number, whose i assigned a value from a goal which wasn't set correctly. You've got maybe a similar issue.

Hope it can help you :)

Thanks Esty. I'll add those things to the to-do list. Do you have the rec where Aztecs didn't attack?

Never mind. TSA is broken somehow. Please revert back to version 0.8.

Re: The General 0.8c

Pretty sure I fixed the TSA bug. :dance

Still have to make some changes to consistently beat other AIs in Davis Cup pool. Currently loses 1/3 games to Ranger.

The General 0.8c:
- initial attacks are more persistent
- fixed player targeting bug that (I think) would change the target player to Gaia
- better lumber camp construction locations
- fixed boar hunting code
- improved exploration for sheep and forage
- pockets no longer build defensive towers
- cheap upgrades and techs prioritized in later ages
- Incan civ gathers llama
- fixed far TC construction
- market trade starts slightly earlier
