Here’s a thread for discussing the sengins, especially with the new algorithms. Warbot V and Warbot VII are both hyper agressive, buying LRNUKE*2 on the first round. Their weightings make this understandable (high aggression without high expansion) but some sengin tweaking may be needed if the other sengins are all going this route.

	Sergeant Matt 4/9/06 6:11 PM After testing, I realized that LRNUKE*2 was in fact the default behavior. I had increased the general value of strikes after game #493, but apparently it was an over-compensation. Now, I’ve reduced that value a bit, so the default move leans toward keeping some money on hand: P:GOV and P:ARMOR. Randomness and different weightings should provide some variety there, but we’ll see.

Perhaps more use of bombers when industry is present, anticipating tank move + strike, etc. Captain MATT 5/6/15 1:32 PM They are slowly evolving. One self-imposed restriction in the AI is that it doesn’t have any items "hard coded" but instead surveys available item characteristics and ponders based on those. The reason is so they’ll function intelligently with different scenarios and item catalogs. CommandBot actually anticipates pretty well, it’s just that he’s not weighing the outcomes well. After localization we’ll put another pass into the AI.
