[freeciv-ai] player's view on ai

[Christian Knoke <chrisk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I fear the following will not be very new to you, but maybe it helps anyway.

Another 1 human vs n AI game comes to an end - and the pattern is as always:
AI make alliances, but at a certain point they start to fight each other
(not me - I'm too strong), fight, fight - with no avail. Since 3000 years
french ai fights an alliance of phillipine, scots, and americans, and has
not yet mangaged to conquer a *single* city. Ok, it has lost 1 city. *One*.

AI fight at each other when they are equally strong. I don't.

Maybe AI should only attack if/when:

1) it has a military signifant plus of technologies

2) has it's units updated to that tech level

If 1 or 2 is not true, it should only attack if there is no possibility to
develop by means of expansion, infrastructure, or research.

Christian
