Re: Does the AI search magic sites
It did do that in dom2 as well. Perhaps not as effective as a human player though  |

correct...another AI weakness in Dominions 2, what I posted about even if I remember correctly many months ago. |

Re: Does the AI search magic sites
I thought it did fairly well. All of the player suggested flowcharts didnt seem to want to put alot of gold and turns into search. In fact many of them did it less. Anytime it was mentioned in a real suggested change (other than a gripe) it tended to say something like Arcos needed to do more searches. That type of AI didnt seem possible in Dom2

Re: Does the AI search magic sites
It doesn't search well. I'm not sure if that's a search algorithm issue, a mage recruitment issue (where are the huge research farms?!), or a gold being wasted on replacing troops that are being wasted issue.
I really wish the AI would stop sending sacred troops out without a priest... or recruiting them with a weak blessing, or putting death 9 on a Virtue!
It's a complex game and if the AI does each step half as well the final result is more like 1/8th the performance.
I'm one of the ones that wants an AI API but I've had fun so I'll just be grateful to JK for every improvement we do get. Hope is good for the soul. I hope.

Re: Does the AI search magic sites
It's for sure a recruitement issue. It recruits very few indie mages.
If the AI really does not build labs as it does not with castles (like .. hmm.. whoever it was who pointed me to it), it does not have that many provinces to recruit mages in.
Thinking about it, I can't remember any lab that I could be sure the Ai actually build instead of getting it from site or event.
