[x1091]

* mini-AI, meaning it has few lines of code (compared to what it can do)
* no cheats or cc- commands whatsoever
* resigns on migration-style maps
* strategy is civ-specific & also strength (because it takes a lot of time to test 50 civs!)
* responds to taunts 3,4,5,6,31,38,42,43,44,45,55,61-68,222
* plays diplo: - enemies "submit" when tc/fortifications/military is gone as long as no vills have been killed ; may betray the player (random)
- if you pay the first tribute to ally => you must always pay it or prepare to fight
- high score neutrals turn to enemy

Inspired by other mini-ai's like Arabian Knight, MiniEagle, Mininati etc.

I am looking forward to testing it out. Is it a Fast Castle approach? No Feudal army?

; Bugs out on Nomad - builds a tc, then hunts and builds farms but all villagers go to wood and nobody cares about the farms. Help please?

Your #load-if-defined NOMAD-MAP would only fire on the built-in nomad map, however, custom maps should get caught in the (defconst foodworkers 80) case anyway, so this seems unlikely.

Try printing out foodworkers somewhere to make sure it is getting set to something. In dark age, you are multiplying the gold and stone by 0, so if the foodworkers is somehow 0 or (more likely) -1, then wood would be 100%.

Another possibility is that your distribution rule somehow bugs out and can't run due to trying to research ballistics and chemistry, but it seems odd that that wouldn't also cause a problem on other maps.

Your distribution rule also includes this fact:
(or (current-age-time == 5)
(building-type-count-total town-center == 0))

This looks to me like on any map this rule will only fire once per age, which makes sense. But on Nomad, it should fire right away (no TC) and fire every pass until the TC foundation is placed. Then it may fire again 5 seconds into the game. I don't see any reason that that would cause a problem, since you always set before modifying (good job).

Something odd is happening, but you chatting out foodworkers and the gatherer SNs should shed some light. I can't actually run it right now, but I might be able to tinker some tonight.

Hey this is a great AI. I was looking some AI able to play at isle maps because last patches have broken official/default AIs, so they don't use transport boats to move terrain units from original island to enemy islands. Also most of the AI mods from the community are broken. Reported here

https://steamcommunity.com/app/813780/d ... 6592895380


I tested this AI with this settings

; Map Size: Any
; Victory: Standard
; Population: Any
; Difficulty: Any (custom difficulty scaling)
; Teams Locked: Either (minimal diplo)
; Resources: Standard
; Starting Age: Dark Age
; All Techs: No

2 VS 2 on Team Isle Map: Dravidic (blue) & Inca (red) VS Franks (green) & Sicillians (yellow)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/150KQfn ... sp=sharing
(I try to save chapters so you can jump between them inside the recording)

The most important event is around minute 59: Franks (green) put 2 rams on a transport boat. The rest only have a few terrain units without war machines, some of their transport boats are even empty. Sometimes their transport boats can't reach other islands, because they travel far distances receibing attacks instead of crossing the free and short zones.

Simillar to the previous one, but also they send fisher boats too far from their docks.

Teutonic (cyan) VS Turks (red) VS Huns (yellow) on Coast Map
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15JPDSo ... sp=sharing
(I try to save chapters so you can jump between them inside the recording)

• They build miner and wood camps too far from gold/stone/forest.
• No one gather relics, they even do not build monasterys nor monks.
• They build walls in a absurd way, wasting stone in zones where the walls are not useful. I understand this is a hard thing to program with AIs.
• When Turks (red) are about to eliminate Teutonics (cyan), instead of finishing the task, they retreat and attack Huns (yellow). Later when they are about to defeat them, Turks (red) retreat again to attack Teutonic (cyan) until they finish them. Some of the Turks (red) go to attack the Huns (yellow) but others keep attacking the already dead Teutonic (cyan)

Cheers!

I know the AI has many problems.
I am in the process of completely rewriting the AI but i am getting crashes and i don't know if it is because of the code(AI) or the game itself.
I am waiting for another update/patch to see if the issue is fixed.
Perhaps i will create another topic since the new AI has most of its code rewritten.

What kind of crashes? are they like those we reported on Steam?
Last patches truly changed something because even default AIs are broken.

When testing the new unreleased AI the game crashes to desktop about the time the AI reaches feudal age.
This happens every single time.
Perhaps there is some line of code that causes this but after working so many hours on the AI i just ... took a break.

miniCPU v119 - updated miniCPU
miniCPU v164 - completely rewritten code

I did a quick check, and you have a few cases where you use unit lines with up-train-site-ready. Unfortunately, this causes a crash. You have to use the base unit instead, such as spearman instead of spearman-line.

I see. Thanks. I will fix and retest.

up-player-distance seem bugged or is it just me?
Does it actually check distance between buildings or closest building to any unit?
