Ai

[DaniTorrero]

Hi there, congrats on the game but,

Is there any way I could improve the AI??
Just played a couple of games and AI seems to make "no sense" moves if you know what I mean...

Some videos on youtube that I saw made think that game was worth buying.

When playing the game I discover a huuuuge difference and the game seens to be no challenging at all.

I downloaded it today. I am missing any patch?

Regards

The developers wrote a long blog post that was very interesting, but the summary is simply that making a good AI is beyond their resources and abilities.

Hi, yeah I read it.

If you watch any of the games "onlyterramystica" channel has on youtube you can see that AI makes interesting moves.

They managed to build a nice Ai but it no longer works, when I play AI just make non-sense moves.

I'm not sure why the AI is not doing as well. I suggest playing some asynchronous ranked games. There is some challenge in those. Running about 10-20 ranked games should give you plenty of playing time. If you make enough friends through DIGIDICED's friend system you can also message them and make live games.

I would like to add to this. The AI used to be fine. But recently it has become brain dead. Any way to revert to an old version where the AI is not terrible? I wish they would role back the AI to how it was.

Please give us back the old AI.......!!!

This game has some of the worst AI I have ever seen in a game.

Reading their blog is laughable, especially considering they couldn't even manage to make an AI that plays better than a clueless noob with no idea what they are doing. You don't need AlphaGo level unbeatable AI, but one that can at least play the game would be nice.

I've seen the AI literally just upgrade their starting two spaces to a stronghold and temple, and then just pass every round because they have zero income.

We found some change in the game code that screwed up the AI process. We plan to fix it once Viticulture is released. The hard AI in Viti will finish the game in 6y or less if you let it.

Amen to that.. when is the fix expected??
I got this as a steam game so I can also play TM freestyle, just to play more games to get to know the races (and by not wanting to wait till the next board game night), but the ridiculous AI just makes it utterly crap to play. Also not asking for AlphaGo, just an AI that actually understands the game would be great.

I will note that the AI on mobile (I have the game on Android as well) is totally fine. The top scoring AI usually clocks in at around 120-140 points per game there. Which is plenty good for practice and trying things out.
