AI - High quality

@GuamSolo :+1:

I like to solitaire the Global 1940 but the AI is weak, although much better than it was 5 years ago.
I don’t know coding, I can’t help in any way, but I would love a really strong AI that was basically invincible and I’d be happy to have it take a long time to make decisions.
Just wondering what the state of play of better AI is, and I’m curious are there superior A&A AIs elsewhere on the web.

@barnee

I meant that that you can choose between ‘does nothing AI’ to ‘Easy’, ‘Fast’ and ‘Hard AI’. I also meant what @redrum mentioned that you can give extra money (or units) to the AI nations to make it more interesting and harder to play vs the AI in general.

The only way to improve the AI in my opinion would be making it self aware, so it will learn from playing vs a human opponent, and improve itself by doing so. I guess there are already good computer programs (chess) that are beating human opponents, even chessmasters. So to be fair there is hope for A&A fans around the globe ;)

P.S.
“Making it self aware might be dangerous, and we might get a SKYNET (terminator) situation on our hand ;)”

Good luck!

OK, first thing I will do is to replace the triplea.jar with the prerelease version!  :-)

the AI is really just a novelty used for learning how to use the triplea controls and user interface, and for practicing a map for the first time ever

playing other people is what the game is about

i have no plans to do any work on the AI at all

That’s a pretty noticeable improvement in scale quality. I assume you’re now using some sort of bicubic or sin based filtering in your scaling algo? Also, a suggestion would be to allow more than 100% zoom.

did you download the source code or did you download the installed?
go download the installer,
double click it, it will install the game
