[Freeciv] Watch/study AI

[Felix Natter <fnatter@xxxxxxx>]

hi,

I found this on freeciv-dev:

in detail (watch one ai in ai vs ai):
- civserver
- server command: "create badguy"
- civclient -a -n goodguy
- server command: "aitoggle goodguy"
- server command: "start"

You can extend this to watch the 2nd (or more) ai (i.e. on different
computers in a network).

This will be pretty fast though. So if you really want to study the
AI, you need a delay or similar option (like specifying certain "pause"
events, i.e. a city production is changed, or a unit is fighting...).
How can I do this?

IMHO this tip (along with the answer to my question) should go into
the FAQ and/or user documentation.

thanks,
