Many players are still struggling to get the upper hand over even the easiest AI, as evident in for example a very active forum thread called: "Novice" AI can still kick my ass. To make a long story short, players are getting slaughtered by novice AIs because it still has a very effective playing style and most importantly, because it is exceedingly aggressive. I suggest we cripple "novice" further so that it becomes what players expect it to be: something that even a novice can stand a chance against. It should build sparser empires, expand less overseas and be less militarily aggressive. This is IMHO a serious problem for single player Freeciv, since players are exceedingly frustrated because of its steep learning curve. With online Freeciv on the decline (not least due to the extended downtime of Pubserver) it is of outmost importance that single player gaming is promoted. ~Daniel _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
