[Freeciv-Dev] Lalo finally beats the AI...

[Lalo Martins <lalo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I just introduced my brother to FreeCiv. Looks like adding the 
two of us we have one full brain - we managed to beat an easy AI 
that got cornered on a tiny piece of land in the same continent 
as we. No, we were not different players - we were both 
controlling the Mongols together against Caesar.

As for the 3 things people complained about FreeCiv a few months 
ago:

* not so pretty - ok, now we have tilesets, and some of them 
look awesome.

* no sound - we're already working on this one

* too hard. Well, I have to agree :-)

Perhaps the best thing to have would be a full "tutorial". 
Second guess is a "too easy" or "brainless" AI level that, while 
easy to beat, forces us to adopt good strategies. Perhaps it 
could even send us messages on the chatline? Or a different AI 
to send us these messages? "I'd rather go for Railroad if I were 
you..."


My ex-wife (and very good friend) wants i18n to try - she 
doesn't read a word of English.


On a partially related funny note, my brother then went on to 
show me Age of Empires, with the words: "It's not as cool as 
FreeCiv, but it's worth seeing". Be proud. Be very proud.

Lalo
