💥 Another World v AI - Official Thread

This my attempt to fix this large map, so the AI players will give you a decent game.

Its major new features are;

• Requires 2.7.14848 or later to play, required for isAI (2.7 is faster than 2.5 and has has more features)
• AI will now place & upgrade Cities and Factories
• d8, was d12
• Sea Zones produce 1pu (convoy zones removed)
• Upkeep, most units cost 1pu to maintain per round
• Stacking is limited to 20 units for infantry types and 10 for other types
• Relationship changes are reduced to 2 rounds, its now much quicker to go to War
• Removed 4 units, halftrack, mobile_infantry, lt_cavalry, hvy_cavalry, its still too complex
• Custom Purchase Panel, making it easier to find/purchase Tech based purchases
• Unit costs dramatically reduced, so AI will buy a selection
• Population units removed, replaced with Population as a resource
• Flags have the territory colour as a background, use Politics/Ctrl+W panel to aid you
• All starting cities are City2, was City5

.
AI not working for;

• Multi round build ships, like Battleship, any suggestions on a fix?
• techTokens are broken as its A&A, so scrap them?

Your comments would be most welcome.

Note this version requires a minimum of TripleA 2.7.14848+ as it makes use of a new feature called "isAI" here;

Sweet !!!

This map has always seemed way cool, even though I've never played it lol

I did fix a few things a while back

Nice !!!

Edit
Oh you got the "isAI" thingy too ! Should be Super Sweet

Edit 2
I'm trying to remember who did this. Think it was @BeorntheBold ?

Edit 3
He has a different name on git. Think it was a couple years ago. I'll try and find it.

Seemed as if he was updating or wanting to back then. Can't remember

Anyway

https://github.com/BeornTheBold

Edit 4

Idk how to contact people on git

@beelee
Yes Beorn's name is in the original map, I guess he is busy with real life, must remember to credit him.

Im not really into WW2 but its a popular period and this map has some great ideas, it just needed some attention to make it playable v the AI.

I would say its now worth playing

@thedog

Found him https://github.com/triplea-maps/another_world/pull/11

yea I thought this was a civilization type thing where you build up but don't quite remember

Edit
Wasn't WWII at all from what I remember

Edit 2
I thought you kinda started out like risk and gained territories and technology as you went.

@beelee
Yes its Civ like, even more so now, as the starting City is only a City2 not City5.

If I had to put a period on it is 1880s to nukes, so WW2-ish It also has A&A style tech advances, that the AI cannot use.

Yes advancing City & Factory levels gives you unit advances as well.

@thedog said in Another World v AI - Official Thread:

Multi round build ships, like Battleship, any suggestions on a fix?

The problem stems from the fact that the AI will not purchase a 0/0/0 Battleship for 15PUs, and you don't want to sell an 8/8/2 unit for 15PUs. So, sell a 'phase1' Battleship at 8/8/2 for 75PUs. The 'phase1' Battleship should create a 'phase2' resource and be removed after endTurn. A 'phase2' Battleship at 8/8/2 should cost 0PUs and 1 'phase2' resource, it should create a 'phase3' resource and be removed. Do this until the AI can purchase the 8/8/2 Battleship for 1 'battleship' resource.

I think something like might work.

Cheers...

@wc_sumpton
Thanks for the ideas I will give that a try.
