12/2021

Updates in 10.0-
1)Fixed the most powerful of all AI I have made since the break of the old Black Power mod when DE was updated. The Harriet Tubman AI now works.
2)Added 3 more AI - Hatshepsut, Cleopatra & Nefertiti
3)Increase mid game focus on preparing for late game military blooms
4)Tweaked the Ally, Revenge & Enemy systems for each AI so that they have different temperaments in accepting allies and/or forgiving previous enemies.


Updates in 9.0-
1)Made AI more powerful when Allow Cheats is not enabled.
2)Improve Transport Usage in the Migration Script
3)Fixed bugs that caused crashes for some AI when about to resign
4)Added 2 more AI - Mansu Munsa & Nat Turner
5)Fixed and added 2 previous AI that did not work from Drangonball Z. Namekians & SuperSaiyans


BE SURE TO TURN OFF TAUNT AUDIO - THESE FILES MAKE THE AI COMMUNICATE AND SHARE INFORMATION TO BE SMARTER>>>> WHICH RELIES ON HYPER COMMUNICATION HACKS IN THE TAUNT SYSTEM... If you hear taunt spamming noises that is why. Consciousness in the real world requires continuous thought. These AI mimic this by streaming commands in the chat to themselves and other civs that each of them have reactions for. So essentially each AI can communicate with each other and have responses based on its own conditions and the conditions of those around them . All of which can change relationships from ally to enemy at any time between any civ. That coupled with a Social Economic Debt system built in using the market and trade systems makes it that each AI can ask for any resource when reserves are low and fulfill any resource request for any civ. If a civ receives more than a certain amount of resources from civ they can request to become allies via the chat. That civ who sent the resources can then choose to accept the ally request or not. If accepted they become allies. In the same vain, if one of those allies gets to big and gets an army too large they can turn on each other and become enemies. Many micro systems like these are implement to keep the AI constantly making breaking and forging new alliances all through the game.

BE SURE TO TURN OFF TAUNT AUDIO - THESE FILES MAKE THE AI COMMUNICATE AND SHARE INFORMATION TO BE SMARTER>>>> WHICH RELIES ON HYPER COMMUNICATION HACKS IN THE TAUNT SYSTEM

Fixed issue with UserConst File missing!

12/20/2019

This works on human vs cpu as well but only works if you add it to the file of the computer AI you want play against. I converted it over from AoE2:HD. You can also play as the AI that has this mod added and see how it communicates and plans.

Aok.heavengames.com

You can see the performance of my AI that use this IQ booster. I have been converting from old AoE2 & AoE2HD files. Mine clearly dominate the standard AI on Hard, Hardest & Extreme.

Challonge.com - Link to a tournament showing result of many 8 on 8 battles. Each AI is using the files here vs the AI from the game. I'm am modernizing different old AI to play on the new game. I am currently running this tournament to continue to test and fix old AI. Once done will share the AI files etc here.



Updates in 4.5
1)Three Versions Included - For those who requested all the versions of this IQ Booster we now have three flavors included in this mod: BlackPower, BlackForce, BlackLiberation. Try each of the three on the same AI to see how each effects your AI differently. Only use one per AI as each contains alot of the same code just different approaches and tweaks.

Updates in 4.0
1)New Castle Building - Builds castles in better areas targeting defense
2)Better Team Logic - AI will plan with allies against enemies


Updates in 3.5
1)Better Wall Building - AI builds gates and walls instead just walls
2)War Treaty Capability - When about to resign. If less has than 1 villager/town-centers and large army still live then the AI can lobby its enemies to make peace and begin use army as help to fight with thier new allies

Updates in 3.0
1)AoE2 Definitive Edition Compatibility - AI now works even better than the DE, HD, & CD AI out of the box. If want to make computer AI better add a line for this file in the "AI HD Version.per" file. Can add to any other AI as well.
2)Fixed Resigning Issue - Now has better logic and does not resign unless makes sense
3)Resilience Improvements - Now acts more strategically using new AoE 2 DE logic.

Updates in 2.0
1) Improved Teamwork Functionality - AI using this script will build town center and castles near ally's
2) Human Multiplayer Functionality - Now responds to human set-stance commands in multiplayer
3) Improved Attack Functionality - Adds more intensity of battles by land and sea


Shoutouts: I have to give a shout out to every code, gamer or player who has took the time to develop AI 's for Age of Empire. I cant credit every developer that has had an impact. From Barbarian to Horde to Mexico to Kozmos to Prince of Uganda to LikeWar and many many more. I have created these AI by battling all of the best I can find on the web and merging and splicing them for over 20 years. From my own ideas to yours. This is for you. Enjoy!

Hi DJMas, I saw that you added your AIs to the list of AIs in the ladder spreadsheet. If you wanted to your AIs to participate in the ladder you'll need to remove the cheating first. I also recommend picking only one or two AIs out of the rest that you want to enter so that each scripter can have an equal share of AIs in the ladder. Looking forward to seeing these AIs develop.

Leif,

Done and Done. I updated the spreadsheet and more importantly updated the AI to only cheat when Allow Cheats is toggled on using the (cheats-enabled) command. Some of the AI still cheat a lil bit in the early game. But all of the Black____ AI do not cheat unless Allow Cheats turned on.

Problem is, that casters of the ladder usually cast games with the option "Cheats enabled" activated, because it allows them to take control of gaia and see the whole map without taking control of one of the AIs.
So you will probably need to find another way, though I would like Leif's opinion on that matter.

One way to fix that would also be to only allow cheats if #load-if-defined UP-HUMAN-IN-GAME is true.
Then AI only games (such as in some fun AI tournamnents) would be cheat-free. :)

Yeah, I'd prefer you used Promi's method or enabled cheats through detecting a particular taunt to enable the cheats.

Thanks both Promi & Kimberly for the feedback. That's what this is all about. I was looking for that solution but couldn't figure it out. So thanks to each of you will try and update to the new approach. Problem I had with this solution is if someone likes to play all AI to spectate but also want cheats then it would not work for them. But I figure there might be a way to combine both approaches. So can work for either case. One idea is to just make 1 or 2 versions that are Tournament compatible and let the rest be cheat enabled like they are. Either that or try to put in more rules to handle both scenarios. I will explore either way.

In other news I was finally after 10 + years able to get the AI to use transports effectively. Will post the code soon. Only issue I am having is with them only boarding 1 solider at a time or not boarding villagers. More to come here soon as well I hope.

Plus got a surprise gift for everyone coming soon so stay on the lookout for that!
