[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#18237) ai.ruleset

["Marko Lindqvist" <marko.lindqvist@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=18237 >


  AI code has lots of constant factors that make it work well under 
default rules, but badly if some critical rule is changed. It does not 
scale well rulewise.
  To make AI code scale well to different rulesets is almost impossible 
with our manpower and such an AI would be quite CPU hog.
  Instead I would like to handle some of the scaling work to ruleset 
authors. I'd like to introduce ai.ruleset, which contains some of the AI 
parameters.
  Additional advantage of such ruleset would be that users could change 
AI behaviour even if rules otherwise stay. Those wanting largepox AI 
would set city founder want lower and building want higher.

  Oh, since it does not contain actual rules, ai.ruleset might be bad 
name. How about ai.parameters instead?
