Esty the TutoMaster

Post by Esty »

Hi buddies, Here is my gift to the young community of scripters :P

----------------------------------------
What is this thing ?
----------------------------------------

this tutorial is carried out in order to allow you to understand the operation of the advanced commands offered by the Userpatchs 1.4 and 1.5, created by scripter64 during the last few years.

This tutorial is made for advanced level scripters. In fact, the basic stuffs won't be explained here. For beginners, we already have existing tutorials like :
- BearTheGreat's Training AI Tutorial: http://forums.aiscripters.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1511
- Campeador's Xafaxarcos Tutorial AI: http://forums.aiscripters.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2709

----------------------------------------
How does this thing works ?
----------------------------------------

Here, we will focus on advanced commands, commented all along the files containing the script. Each line of code is commented and detailed regarding how it works and what it does.
I won't pretend that everything is commented, but, the major part, when i consider it is needed for your understanding.

Rendez-vous in the file called readme.txt, inside of the folder " Esty the TutoMaster "

Esty the TutoMaster is it a tutorial only ?

Of course, not. It can be a challenging AI. Parts of the script might be improved (especially the villagers micro) and few bugs can happen. But it is overall working OK

----------------------------------------
Settings requiered
----------------------------------------

- Age at start : dark-age
- resources at start : standart (low)
- population : 150++
- difficulty : Hard for UP and Extreme for DE
- civilizations : Mayan / Briton / Viking / Malai / Ethiopians / Byzantine / Mongol / Aztec
- teaming : Yes
- Versions supported : AOC / WK / DE

----------------------------------------
Gameplay
----------------------------------------

Esty the TutoMaster uses massively D.U.C. (direct unit control) :
- in dark-age (full villagers micro / scouts+sheeps exploration)
- from the feudal-age to the imperial-age included (military behaviour)

It does have a similar strategy as flank / pocket
- flanks open with scouts and go 2 archery-ranges (+1)
- pockets fast castle 2 archery-ranges and go full crossbows / arbalests

----------------------------------------
Futur of this thing ?
----------------------------------------

This tutorial will be improved and completed : actually some parts of its content are not commented while it should
This tutorial can participate to our tournaments : King of Arabia 2 (DE) or Davis Cup 6 (AOC). I consider making a team with the other tutorials AIs existing (Panda Tutorial AI, BearTheGreat's Training AI, Xafaxarcos...) for the next Davis Cup :)

I'm surprised TutoMaster doesn't play Teutons. :P

Does 'Malai' = Malians or Malay?

This will make a significant difference because those glitches were making Tutomaster a lot slower than it could have been. Ty for the update! *downloads immediately*.
