My ideas for AI improvements: - Watching AI's that I have an embassy with I often see them running a very high tax rate and having a huge amount of gold. Which is good for me if I can sell them tech, but having lots of gold and not using it is a waste. Would be better to keep tax as low as possible ...

I've never run an autogame - how do you do that? Or is there anything on the wiki that explains it?

This functionality would be quite useful if I ever get up the nerve to try and improve the ai code.

It used to be Explosives that allowed transforming terrain. To restore that behavior, don't delete that line - instead replace "Fusion Power" with "Explosives".

Now I'd like to see 2 aitypes compete to see which is better. Is it possible to set up a game similar to my example server script, with no human player and run it and see the end game screen?

Is it possible to set some players to one aitype and others to a different one? This script of server commands seems to do that -

hard
set aifill 5
set aitype tex
hard
set aifill 9

The "set aitype tex" seems to reset the difficulty level back to the default "easy".

Thank you to leo.priori and his civ2civ3_connections ruleset - I tried his idea of implementing storms as a spontaneous nuisance extra instead of as a unit, and I like it. It allows having both real kraken units and storms. I also wanted to do something with the new volcano graphics and tried implem...

Is this the last of the 3.1 line? 3.2.1 has been out for awhile.

So I was doing play-testing of some custom ruleset features I'm working on, adding to the civ2civ3 ruleset. I noticed, what seemed weird to me, that the AI got the Great Wall wonder very quickly, in what I thought was suspiciously few turns between when I saw the message "Aztecs have started bu...

I have never gotten a trade request from an AI player, didn't know it was possible. I always play on AI skill level "Hard" - maybe you're on an easier level and that makes the difference.

Do you have C coding skills? My understanding is that the reason the AI is sub-optimal is because its source code needs improving. I have been learning how to contribute patches and hope to eventually get to the point of tackling some of the AI code. My own opinion is that I wish more work would be ...
