Just what I needed for my Scenario, as one of the CPU players kept getting his butt whooped by a heavily defended enemy that lived right next door.
Sadly, this AI still gets a pounding by him, but not as bad :) |

I dont gonna make any Death Match AI's because AI's are not any good in that game-type.
I am not sure about any updates, because I think AOK is a bit old now, dont you all agree? |

In Tournament AI's, Saiyan may finish in the middle of the pack. But against people who play the computer, Saiyan is HIGHLY recommended. It will challenge many newcomers and experienced rookies alike.
It shares a feudal aggressiveness found in Tiger. Where Tiger will try to build (1) forward Outposts, (2) forward Towers, and later (3) low-end army units like Spears and Skirms. Saiyan is slower to feudal, around 16 min with pop 32, but brings a stronger army with upgrades to MAA, gets infantry armor, builds at least 2 barracks and an archery. Saiyan will then send a stream of an early but balanced army of MAA's, Skirms, Spears, and Archers along with villies that skip Outposts and go right for Tower building.
I have found Saiyan to be a most challenging AI. I've tried a fast castle (16:30) and boom against it, and it gives me a very tough time. It will keep the stream of MAA's, Spears, Skirms, and Archers coming 4 at a time. It targets your military buildings first, and unlike some other AI's it will target your villie's.
Likewise its defense is pretty nifty. It sends it balanced over to repel small raids, and for larger raids it will immediately relocate all villies far away from the battle.
What I have found works against it is a moderately fast but strong pop 32-36 sub-20 min Castle. I have an easier time if I skip a Market and Blacksmith (right away) and shoot for a Barracks, Stable, and Archery near each other. Hence I can fight Saiyan's balance with my own balance. As wood allows, I then make a Blacksmith as well as another Barracks and Archery.
It also helps to keep your villies alert and have them attack other vils that try to build towers.
If you are relunctant to build an army, Saiyan will whip you. It will keep that stream of 4 then 8 then 12 then 16 units, etc, coming and coming. So you must hit it head on and reduce his ranks. Send your knights around and take out villies - watch it though because he will sends Spears after you.
I think it is the best land AI that I have encountered in an opponent. I don't give it a 5.0 because there is always room for improvement. I'd like to see it reach feudal a min or 2 earlier, and begin its attack earlier. Also since it spends so much on a prolonged Feudal attack, it won't Castle until 30 min or later - and only then because you have been killing some of its army. Don't thin his ranks, and he'll just save the food and gold to Castle quicker.
When I playtest an AI, I will try to play 8 - 12 games of 1v1 against it in order to provide a thoughtful, deliberate review. I usually play Random Civs, although someone suggested that I set Farmertron to Mayan.
If you want a late Imp battle, go with Phoenix or Farmertron. If you want something slightly better than the default AI, try Dragon. If you want something worse than the AI, try Duke. And if you want a late Feudal attacker, Tiger or Saiyan are wonderful AI's. I counter Tiger's weaker Flush with outposts, awareness, and maybe a flush of my own. I count Saiyan's stronger flush with a strong Castle.
Side note: if you want tips on getting a decent Castle time, you can check out my free 60-page guide:

It may come in handy against Saiyan! Very, very good AI and I can't want for the next revision of it. |

From your own code, irrespective of difficulty setting :
(defrule
(current-age == dark-age)
=>
(cc-add-resource food 1000)
(cc-add-resource gold 1000)
(cc-add-resource stone 1000)
(cc-add-resource wood 1000)
(disable-self))
(defrule
(current-age == feudal-age)
=>
(cc-add-resource food 1000)
(cc-add-resource gold 1000)
(cc-add-resource stone 1000)
(cc-add-resource wood 1000)
(disable-self))
(defrule
(current-age == castle-age)
=>
(cc-add-resource food 1000)
(cc-add-resource gold 1000)
(cc-add-resource stone 1000)
(cc-add-resource wood 1000)
(disable-self))
(defrule
(current-age == imperial-age)
=>
(cc-add-resource food 1000)
(cc-add-resource gold 1000)
(cc-add-resource stone 1000)
(cc-add-resource wood 1000)
(disable-self))
1000 of every resource at the start of the game and at the start of each age isn't cheating ? It's easy to write an effective ai under these conditions ... but maybe that's what the community wants anyway. I am not criticising you for employing resource cheats, but for advertising so boldly that it does not cheat. |
