[UP] Hell-Raven BETA 4

Post by jdstankosky »

User Patch Only

Hell-Raven

Please note! This is an EXTREMELY early, and non-fully functioning script. There is no sense in expecting it to fight anything. As of this current version, it is a proof of concept!


It is able to advance to Imperial-Age. It doesn't have dynamic strategy yet. It is incapable of attacking or trading/tributing as of this moment. The gather percentages are dynamically generated with every rule pass. I DO NOT HAVE ANY PRE-SET GATHER PERCENTS!

Let me know what you think so far? :dance
Hell-Raven will be a completely organic AI. This means that it has no set strategy. It is completely reactionary. It will not ever play the same way twice, as a result.

It will be completely capable of playing with all civs, on all possible maps, with any settings, against any type of opponent.

Code: Select all

Do not try to script a counter for everything. That is reactionary, and always slower than taking the initiative in battle. Decide from the start what you are going to do, and do not waiver from it. Own it.

It's being made ^^

I made the post so I could encourage myself to get it done faster. Also, because I might forget what I was doing if I didn't.

I have an... Interesting.... Way of doing things, lol.

Here goes, putting this out there...

Try not to let your head explode if you browse the code... :devil

Verry intresting idea. The closest I've seen to an AI doing that is Charmeleon.

Anyway your DA has some problems:
1) You were chinese and you never took loom. This isn't a good idea. Espically with chinese.
2) Consequently, you did no boar hunting.
3) You built a deer mill not next to the deer and a mining camp in the middle of nowhere (camp-distance increase prehaps)
4) Because of this, you advance in 17'.

I presume you know all about these yourself. If your gather %s are over 100, my observation is (different from other scripters) that when you go over 100, gradually more villagers will "disobey" your gather percentages. If they add up to 105 and they appear to work, no problem, since only a few villagers will disobey and they will go to resources, and not idle. However, if it comes up as 4000 or something then you have a problem.

Again, an intresting idea.

Haven't had a chance to test your script yet, since I'm currently in the middle of trying to write my own UP script, but what do you think about this method of determining gather percents?

Code: Select all

(defrule
	(current-age == dark-age)
	(unit-type-count villager >= 10)
=>
	(up-modify-goal FOOD-GATHERERS c:= 9)
	(up-modify-goal FOOD-GATHERERS g:%* VILLAGER-COUNT)
	(up-modify-goal FOOD-GATHER-PERCENT g:= FOOD-GATHERERS)
	(up-modify-goal FREE-GATHER-PERCENT c:= 100)
	(up-modify-goal FREE-GATHER-PERCENT g:- FOOD-GATHER-PERCENT)
	(up-modify-goal WOOD-GATHER-PERCENT g:= FREE-GATHER-PERCENT)
	(set-strategic-number sn-food-gatherer-percentage FOOD-GATHER-PERCENT)
	(set-strategic-number sn-wood-gatherer-percentage WOOD-GATHER-PERCENT)
	(set-strategic-number sn-gold-gatherer-percentage 0)
	(set-strategic-number sn-stone-gatherer-percentage 0))   

(defrule
	(up-research-status feudal-age == pending)
=>
	(set-strategic-number sn-gold-gatherer-percentage 20) 
	(up-modify-goal FOOD-GATHERERS c:= 4)
	(up-modify-goal FREE-GATHER-PERCENT c:= 100)
	(up-modify-goal FREE-GAHTER-PERCENT s:- sn-gold-gatherer-percentage)
	(up-modify-goal FOOD-GATHERERS g:%* VILLAGER-COUNT)
	(up-modify-goal FOOD-GATHER-PERCENT g:= FOOD-GATHERERS)
	(up-modify-goal FREE-GATHER-PERCENT g:- FOOD-GATHER-PERCENT)
	(set-strategic-number sn-food-gatherer-percentage FOOD-GATHER-PERCENT)
	(set-strategic-number sn-wood-gatherer-percentage FREE-GATHER-PERCENT)
	(set-strategic-number sn-stone-gatherer-percentage 0))

;Feudal-Age

(defrule
	(current-age == feudal-age)
	(not  (up-research-status castle-age == pending)) 
=>
	(up-modify-goal FOOD-GATHERERS c:= 15)
	(up-modify-goal GOLD-GATHERERS c:= 5)
	(up-modify-goal FREE-GATHER-PERCENT c:= 100)
	(up-modify-goal FOOD-GATHERERS g:%* VILLAGER-COUNT)
	(up-modify-goal FOOD-GATHER-PERCENT g:= FOOD-GATHERERS)
	(up-modify-goal FREE-GATHER-PERCENT g:- FOOD-GATHER-PERCENT)
	(set-strategic-number sn-food-gatherer-percentage FOOD-GATHER-PERCENT)
	(up-modify-goal GOLD-GATHERERS g%* VILLAGER-COUNT)
	(up-modify-goal GOLD-GATHER-PERCENT g:= GOLD-GATHERERS)
	(set-strategic-number sn-gold-gatherer-percentage GOLD-GATHER-PERCENT)
	(up-modify-goal FREE-GATHER-PERCENT g:- GOLD-GATHER-PERCENT)
	(set-strategic-number sn-wood-gatherer-percentage FREE-GATHER-PERCENT)
	(set-strategic-number sn-stone-gatherer-percentage 0))    
This might also help resolve your over 100 percentages problem.

I'm curious as to why you need to point out my lack of tech researching. It's obviously not scripted yet. :lol: Also, it doesn't hunt boars because it has too many farms by the time the berries run out. Heck, it's already jumping into Feudal before the berries run out because it has so many farms! I need to add some smarts for utilizing free food sources.

I'm still compiling this guy one component at a time. Once I KNOW that the script is working THIS far, I will add onto it. It's not going to have a strategy, so in my testing I just try to get myself into each age, and that I can get them to gather appropriately.

St_Aquinas had a good idea, subtracting from each previous gather percent from 100. I will play around with it while keeping everything dynamic per rule pass.

The 100% issue was caused by the operator used in the chat actions. The redirection operator (prefix:<) has to be used instead of the assignment operator (prefix:=). That used to work in the past, but it was only a coincidence, since the math ops and the compare ops were equal in number back then lol. The math for the gathering calculations had to be adjusted a bit, as well. For the % symbol to appear as text in up-chat-data-* messages, it has to be doubled as %%. You can check all of this stuff in the attached per.

It's important to note that since these changes "fixed" (broke lol) the percentages, wood gathering is now a bit limited. This is probably because the lumber camp isn't added to the wood demand list when 0 camps exist, and the cost of a single farm isn't significant enough to get more lumberjacks (only +60 wood demand).

I look forward to seeing what this becomes!
