Eastern Invasion

[Yoshiki]

and yes, Owaecs troops are not supposed to fight, but it's impossible, i have learned, to stop them.

I think writing an AI that does absolutely nothing is like 10 lines of code so you can request such an AI to coders if you need that.

About NOrthern Outpost Crashing:

no, i don't think i do. OK, i'll fix that. Thanks.


About Very Simple AI:

Ok, can a coder please write the 10 lines neccessary to make the AI do nothing?

[mlangsdorf]

If you want an AI that will do *nothing* (not recruit, not attack, not move, not grab villages, not retreat, nothing), here's the code that needs to be added to ai.hpp:

class coward_ai : public ai_interface {
public:
coward_ai(info& i) : ai_interface(i) {}
void play_turn() {}
};

Not very exciting.
Getting one that will attack adjacent enemies and recruit sensibly is a bit trickier but I'm trying to figure it out.

A patch is posted.

You need to add ai_algorithm="idle_ai" inside [side] tag of side 2.

Ok...has the patch been added?

Yes.

Change has (finally) been added. Now Owaec should do basically nothing.

I think the first three-four scenarios are pretty balanced, but i still want feedback on (# means how badly it needs help, 1-10):

Elven Alliance 3
Undead Border Patrol 5
Mal-Ravanal's Capital 4
Northern Outpost 3
Two Paths 3
Crossing 7
Undead Crossing 6
Ogre Training 4
Tribal Warfare 7
Lake Vrug 10

Under the latest CVS build, I think there is a problem with "Northern Outpost" because the thieves are on side 4 but side 4 is not explicitly defined in the .cfg file. At least, it's causing my game some problems.

Latest as of when?

I fixed this about 2-3 days ago, i'm pretty sure.

[mlangsdorf]

eastern_invasion_0.3.2.tar.gz has the problem. Is there a later tarball/CVS?

ugh.

OK, i'll go back (again!) and make sure i fixed it. I might have forgot to recreate the tarball after i fixed it...

[turin]

OK. sorry about this- it looks like i fixed it wrong last time. Here is a quick version, i just made the bandits allied with the undead. i might go back and change it when i'm half awake.

HI I'm still looking for a way to win Northern Outpost

1) I own every village on the map
2) Gweddy is standing on the waysign
3) All theves coming out of any village & the undead are all dead

what am I missing? Do I need to search more theves in the woods?

no, yet another problem occured. i kinda did the last correction half-asleep, so it had a bug. it should be fixed now, just download again.

However, Dave, why is it that you can't have units that aren't on a specified side? its somewhat annoying, since you have to have a keep for each side, and i don't really want a keep for the thieves, it makes no sense.

[Circon]

Use something in the [start] tag that overwrites the keep with another terrain. The user need never know.
