I have a beta (1.09) game in progress, so haven't yet updated. For those that have, are there any significant changes in AI behavior that I should know about?


I upgraded directly from 1.05 to 1.1, so I am not sure whether this will be of help or not...
In the 1.1 game I had, the Torian, Yor, and Driegh(sp?) all surrendered themselves to me out of nowhere, giving me a total of ~12 okay quality planets. And of all the games I played before, I didn't have one AI surrender to me.

To: Obi Wan Kenobi
Thanks for the answer.

Welcome all new comers, I've been away from my PC for two days. Do I have to DL stardock centural to get 1.10, or are they gonna provide stand alone DL?

Also, just in case I miss 22nd election for senate, I wouldn't be running but I'd like to vote for KEmperor, and Admiral Sherbert.

Looks like we have ensured 7th rank in metaverse for a while. With little hard work, we would be able to get into the heat of battle between rank 4 and 6 soon.

May the force be with you all.

Congrats Crazy Leg. I no longer see a pure good smile, but you have attained Jedi Master rank with only three games. I am very impressed.

Woohooo! I finally got to finish a game today!

One other thing I noticed was that I could not flip the very last planet of the last opponent. They would flip one of my planets (even though my culture was through the roof) and I would flip what was once their last planet. Anyone else experienced this?

I submitted 27th game this morning and it shows I got about 3000 metaverse score(which is about right because I got 13700 score), yet I can't see my 27th game... Strange...
I gave up on metaverse score now. I will just play for fun from now on. (Heck with the scores.... I'm getting the point where I became a slave to the scores, forget it)

Well, anyway, I just started 1.10 today, just for 30 minutes. It sure look better than 1.05.

WOW

I just finished my first 1.1 game... what a difference.. I played it on tough.. (wanted to get the full effect of the better AI, and I relized that normal wasn't giving me a challenge anymore)

I set it up so the dregen and arcians were bright and the rest normal. and I thought I was going to have it easy cause I was the same alignment as the arcians and they took out the dregin even before I met them. and quickly took out the yor and the other guys. so basicly it was down to 3 civs....

boy was I ever wrong.. even though we were the same alignment and had a good trade relationship the arcians relized I was their biggest competition for resources and quickly found an excuse to go to war... it ended quickly in a peace agreement but for the rest of the game is was like that little breakdown started a rivalry that was only going to be solved by one of us dying... it was a great fight... basicly 2 alliances duking it out...

most fun I've ever had...

it was like the creators managed to put a "just cause I hate you" factor into the AI..

X-Wing Sierra:

Stardock has said that 1.10 uses an "adaptive AI" for the Arceans. Instead of following a pre-set tech path, it evaluates needs and then responds. If your experience is typical, it looks like the "adaptive" bit goes beyond researching...

Berserk74:

Apparently you've already got your hands on 1.10, so downloading it is no longer an issue. Right now, it's only available through Stardock Central. Frogboy plans a standalone patch in the near future, though.

You really should consider throwing your hat in the ring for the Senate. You're active on the forums and in terms of submissions, certainly putting ME to shame! Like I said before, Senate rank is about giving a gesture of respect to those who contribute.

More pure goods...

I'm beginning to think that they might not be that rare, after all.

Arrrgh! Avast, ye scurvy trespasser! A broadside by the often incoherent but still very, very vocal Aussie dictator - um, quasi-Republican psuedo-elected governor. If we're big enough to merit sarcasm from Big Blue, we're moving up in the Metaverse.

And speaking of playing with toys, Blue, how's that kangaroo of yours these days? What was his name again - "Hopsie?"

BlueSteel: Its "Skippy" ..

Skip: tch tch tch

BlueSteel: what was that Skippy

Skip: tch tch tch

BlueSteel: you prefer Skip

Skip: tch tch tch

BlueSteel: ok Skip it is

Skip: tch tch tch

BlueSteel: the jedi were trying to be funny...

Skip: tch tch tch

BlueSteel: yes it was a pathetic joke.. thats why its funny.. their attempt was funnier than their joke.

Skip: tch tch tch

(This script is based on the Australian TV series "Skippy the bush kangaroo" made back in the 60's)

"Skippy the bush kangaroo?" And OUR humor is pathetic? That sounds like "Flipper" without the water.

More changes to the website today, including a few new ranks and a photo for numbtenor 21. Check it out!

Wow, thanks for all the warm welcomes.

I do have a question though: I don't really understand how a given game's metaverse point is scored.
I just find it wierd that a tiny game I spent 3.5 hrs on actually got higher score than all the huge games I've played. And the deficulty level doesn't seem to have much of an impact on scoring.

                  
#495  by Citizen KEmperor - 9/20/2003 4:46:52 AM

Well, they decided to give more weight to masochistic difficuly in 1.1. That probably accounts for some of it.

Welcome to our newest Jedi, Drew3077! As you're finding your way around the Council halls, don't forget to check out our website at http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/jedi_republic Link .

Crazy Leg:

There has always been a very SMALL increase in Metaverse points for playing harder difficulty levels. Since the release of the expansion pack earlier this week, there seems to be a larger increase at Crippling and a huge one for Masochistic.

Looks like I'm going to have to try to bring up my difficulty levels again.

                    
#497  by Veteran GASherbert - 9/20/2003 12:19:39 PM

Welcome, Drew3077. Nice to see new people.

                      
#498  by Citizen Crazy Leg - 9/20/2003 2:27:24 PM

Just finished a small game on crippling, got <8000. So I guess the difficulty lvl and the number of turns took(I finished this one ~70 turns later than the maso one) are both big factors.

And welcome Drew3077

                  
#499  by Citizen KEmperor - 9/20/2003 3:14:12 PM

Welcome Drew3077, at this rate we'll have as many members as the other empires!
