The King 1.3c (AoK AI)

[Tobi19]

Hello everyone!

I've working on this AI for the last few weeks, and managed to get this release just in time for Prince of Arabia. I've wanted to make an AI for AoK for quite some time and here it is. The main idea behind The King is to have unique strategies (and taunts) for each civilization it can play. I'm sure there's still a lot to polish before I can call it finished, but the basic structure is already done.

Cannot play water maps (for now).
Only plays AoK civs.

Feel free to report any bug or make any suggestion!

Hi!

Wandering Robots is really close so I decided to release The King's first update. I'm not making a changelog this time because a lot has changed compared to last version and I actually lost track of the details . Anyway, this is a really big update (it's almost 3 times the size of 1.0), I rewrote most of the code I already had and then added a bunch of things, mainly strategies and tactics. It's still far from finished but I'm quite happy so far as it is a lot stronger than last version.

Reupload to fix an enormous bug I can't believe I didn't see before.

what was it?

what was it?

It wasn't making pikemen in castle age because it prioritizes the pikemen upgrade first but the condition to make start making pikemen again was not having pikemen researched.

I think something similar happened with longswords.

A big update focused of Prince of Arena. This update gives a lot of new strategies for The King in non-arabia maps, to name a few:

-MAA and Towers
-FC into monks and Siege
-FC into knights
-Fast Imp into gunpowder

Every civ now has it's own strategy for Arabia and non-arabia. Build orders have also been update to improve up times. I didn't have enough time to add new strategies for Arabia, so they will have to wait for the next release. Also, The King treats every non-arabia map the same for now, so it will use the same strategy whether it's playing Arena, Yucatan or Islands. Water map strategies are also a thing I want to add in future versions. It's possible that it actually performs worse in Arabia than before due to lack of testing when adding new features for Arena, but I'll try to fix that as soon as possible.

Previous version wasn't working on AoK (Thanks Mr. Elephant for noticing). This one should be fully compatible, I just removed some strategic numbers that seem to have been added in AoC.

-Mills can now get constructed before lumbercamps if there isn't a food source
-Added market rules to rebuild TC
-Villagers will now gather wood and stone if TC is destroyed

-The King now uses TSA in some situations
