AI 11 - The Flycatcher
This AI builds mostly same as AI 10 - Horsemaster.
It is an improvement of the Horsemaster. It trains four unit types at a time. The point of making this AI is to make it more aggressive and support in team games. I also will try to make the lower difficulties a challenge.
AI is an all-rounded AI capable of several modes.
The AI works now alright for 30 Minute Treaty, especially on Age Maps or Jolly Maps.
If you've downloaded this file before, download again and replace the old with the new files.
----------
AI 12 - The Guardsman:
--------
Update August 26, 2022:
Added transport handling for NR Micronesia and Great Barrier Reef (though the AI can still not play Great Barrier Reef)
Germans AI added special rule for Treaty Games to get more Cards during TreatyFrom under 8 minutes, between 8 to 10 minutes, and after 10 minutes.This is to help AI with Downtown Maps, and other high-resource starts.
+10 Economic Population for Easy Difficulty (80), +10 Population (160) on non-Treaty Games
--------
Update July 17, 2022:
Removed from gWater Maps: Northwest Territory, including Custom Versions.
I did this because AI tried to invade by sea when it should have supported with units by land.
--------
Update July 16, 2022:
Removed from gWater Maps: New England, Plymouth, NR Polynesian Atoll
And also for all custom Versions of New England and Plymouth
I did this because it was causing problems with land combat for the AI.
Added to Transport Maps: NR Bengawan Solo (an Amazonia type map), NR Pulua Seribu (a Caribbean type map), Honest Amazonia, Caribbean, Ceylon
Added to gWaterMaps: Honest Northwest Territory, Honshu
--------
Update May 3, 2022:
Removed from gWater Maps: Indochina, Carolina, Saguenay, Patagonia, Hispaniola, California; Lrg and NR Versions
Removed from gWater Maps: NR Van Dieman's Land
This prevents AI from trying to transport units by boat on these maps.
Added: Hunting New England, Plymouth, Northwest Territory, Honshu
Added: NR Amazonia TP
--------
Update April 12, 2022.
Added Eco Maps to AI map list: Caribbean, Ceylon, Amazonia to transport maps, and Plymouth, New England, Northwest Territory, Honshu to water maps.
--------
Update April 10, 2022.
Easy Difficulty improved:
Easy +5 Villagers in Treaty (80 vils, 85 for Natives)
Easy +5 pop in Treaty (165 pop, 170 for Chinese)
Special Rules for Easy on Treaty with Dutch, French, Japan, China
Easy +25% handicap bonus non treaty (1.0), (0.75), to match with treaty (1.0, 1.15)
Moderate +15% handicap bonus non treaty (1.15), (1.0), to match with treaty (1.15, 1.25)
--------
Update March 31, 2022.
Fixed NR Aysen code: AI will not build walls on this map, but will do regular wall-building on other maps
--------
Update March 30, 2022. Unique Sea Update 4.
Removed Option for AI invading islands on Water Maps:
NR Te Tai Tokerau, NR Easter Island, NR Madagascar, NR Aysen
Special wall handling for NR Aysen added:
AI will not build walls to block off its path to the land
--------
Update March 23, 2022. Unique Sea Update 3.
Removed Option for AI invading islands on Water Maps:
NR Gold Coast, NR Gujurat, NR Te Tai Poutini, NR Tahiti, NR Australia, NR Greenland
--------
Update March 22, 2022. Unique Sea Update 2.
Added Option for AI invading islands on Water Maps:
NR British Isles, NR Easter Islands, NR Madagascar, NR Van Dieman's Land, NR Greenland
--------
Update March 19, 2022. Unique Sea Update.
Added Option for AI invading islands on Water Maps:
Northwest Territory, New England, Plymouth, Honshu. For:
Grand Cmp, Musket, Downtown, Esport, Quest, Tryhard, Jolly,
Age, NR, Impeccable, Ruby, Standard versions of these maps.
Note:
aiSetWaterMap(true);
gWaterMap = true;
Regulates the option to invade islands.
Add any custom water map to this an AI will use ships periodically.
This is different than the total approach used in Caribbean, Amazonia.
--------
Update March 17, 2022. Sea WOL Update.
Added Transport Handling for Wars of Liberty Water Maps:
NR Falklands Islands, NR Ibalong (Phillipines), NR Galapagos,
NR Azores, NR Balkans, NR New Zealand, NR Archipelago
Added to Fishing Maps for Wars of Liberty Water Maps:
NR Falklands Islands, NR Ibalong (Phillipines), NR Galapagos, NR Marajo, NR Australia, NR Aysen, NR Azores, NR Balkans, NR Gibraltar, NR Gold Coast, NR Gujarat, NR Iberian Peninsula, NR New Zealand, NR Te Tai Tokerau (Northern New Zealand), NR Te Tai Poutini (Southern New Zealand), NR Polynesian Atoll, NR Tahiti, NR Archipelago
Note that if player invades an island, AI teammates will help, I've figured that's its a trigger based on scouting. If AI has a dock and knows about where to attack, it will invade other player's islands.
--------
Update March 3, 2022. Sea Update.
Added Transport Handling for these water maps on these modes:
Musket, Esport, Downtown, Grand Cmp: Caribbean, Amazonia, Ceylon, Lagoon.
Also for Age: Caribbean, Amazonia, Ceylon, and Impeccable: Caribbean, Amazonia.
Added handling for Islander Pacific Sea (AI will send units across to other islands).
-----

- Fortress Age Rule for Chinese to Build two War Academies in this age
----------
New Flycatcher:
Update October 23:
- New Rule for Germans in Treaty Games added in Hard and Expert for more economic population before 10 minutes (100) and less after 10 minutes (95) as well as room for shipping factories with extra Uhlans in custom matches (80 military pop, 105 after 10 minutes).
- New Rule for British for upgrading Veteran and Guard Grenadiers in Imperial Age.

- Aztecs train a bit less Arrow Knights and more War Hut Units.

- AI now uses 0.25 for Offense Bonus and 0.20 for Defense Bonus.
Update October 7:
- AI has less Aggressive Values in a Defensive Reflex (0.25 instead of 0.35).

---------
Update September 28:

---------
Update August 11:
- Added staggered resources savings for non-Treaty Games.

- Changed Germans: Uhlans to 0.95, War Wagons to 0.79, enabled Mercenaries for Germans, 0.5 Bias Cav, 1.0 Native Bias for Germans (This means German AI can now do many more things and build a balanced army every game and beat other AIs).

- Changed 6 Infinite Grenadiers to Improved Grenades Card for British
- Changed 8 Richelieu's Regiment to Throughbreds Card for French

- Version from July 27 included in Download
------------
- Update July 27: Chinese no longer tries to build Light Infantry, only Banner Armies. Aztec AI trains more Jaguar Prowl Knights and less Coyote Runners.
- Update July 19: Aztecs Unit Priorities redefined. I have given Aztecs a Civ Bias of 0.5 BiasInf and 0.5 BiasCav (which also works for Light Infantry), and in addition extra Priorities for the Knight Units first, then War Hut Units second. This means that they will constantly train units while they have resources for them.
- All AIs can now make use of Light Infantry, not just Aztecs.
- AIs now use 10-20 units in training queue rather than 10-25.
- Update July 18: Aztecs train old priorities with General Units. AI uses 1 Building training as I found it bugged up the code previously. I had two values before: 10-25 units with 2 Buildings and 10-20 units with 1 Building. I now corrected this to 10-25 units with 1 Building for both of them.
- AI uses 85 Military Units in Industrial and 100 in Imperial (up from 80 Industrial, 110 Imperial; original was 70 Industrial, 90 Imperial).
- Aztec AI on account of less units in Imperial now again spawns Skull Knights when there is military population available; Sioux AI should also spawn Dog Soldiers.
- German AI trains more Skirmishers.
- Indians, Chinese, Japanese now have secondary and tertiary btOffenseDefense increased to 0.45 (up from 0.35); the normal value remains 0.50. This should prevent them from camping in their bases until very late game (1 hour).
- Version from July 3rd included in download
----------
- Update 3 July 2021: 2 Building Unit Training once again.
- Update 2 July 2021: Military Units trained from 1 Building instead of 2 at a time, like in AI 9 - Big Daddy.
- Included Original Flycatcher in Download.
- Update 1 July 2021: Extra Market built in Imperial Age by Asians rather than Industrial; this should help Wonder Age ups to Imperial. It is still built in Industrial by Europeans and Natives.
- Update 5 May 2021: Original Flycatcher uploaded because of encountering online issues.
- Update 27 April 2021: French AI trains original values.
----------
Things Different in AI:
- Rice Paddies can be build 5 distance (down from 8). Asians try to get an additional Rice Paddy in Imperial (up to 5).
- Maximum Army Unit count increased to 80 for Industrial (70) and 110 for Imperial (90).
- German AI trains more Dopplesoldners, Uhlans, less War Wagons and less Mercenaries, same amount of Skirmishers
- Japanese AI no longer tries to train Arsonists or Flaming Arrow Artillery (Arsonists are not classified as Mercenaries).
- AIs for Ottoman, Dutch, British, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Russians, have been made more aggressive (0.45, 0.50, 0.55)
- Turtle Up Rule increased to +0.8 so that Civs can eventually receive increased OffenseDefense while still being able to build walls and towers (up from +0.6).

On a test, the stock game AI on Hard got 535, 568, and 743 score on Tryhard Maps by 20 minutes; on the next test, the Flycatcher AI on Hard got 820, 900, 900 score on Tryhard Maps by 20 minutes. So, the improved AI is 50% better while upgrading its units. This is no superman test: the AI gets few unfair bonuses.
On a 4v4 on Tryhard Maps the Flycatcher AI got 800-900-1100 score by 20 minutes. |

The Computer beat me at Ivory Silk Road where I thought there was a treaty period and he rushed me continually and whittled down my units and resources. And that's coming from me, a top 10 custom map player in Asian Dynasties.
Japanese Computer: 496 units killed
Portuguese Me: 250 units killed
Score: Compuuter 1200, Me 800, 20 minutes 50 seconds.
After finding out that there was no treaty, I decided to try and see if I could beat it on Hard rather than re-hosting the game with Treaty 20.
It beat me!
Him: 50000 unspent resources, Me 15000 unspent resources.[Edited on 06/14/21 @ 02:57 AM]

A fellow I played with described the AI script like this:
"It is Good, it plays like a real person."
And
"It is a good write."
"This long" (of game. It was a 2v2, 56 minute game). |

The AI now plays Treaty 20, 30, 40 and can do so on any regular map.
On Carolina original with Treaty 30 Henry the Navigator on Expert got 1050 score with an army got to Imperial Age by 29 minutes, I had 1400 score as India and both of us Water Boomed.
Please share with friends and host Treaty Games online! The AI will use better cards the higher homecity levels you have, so for a great game use a Level 120 Homecity. It plays well on level 80 or level 60 homecity, but not as well as when it has access to buy more cards - after all it buys them every game like a normal player! |

Some of the Land Scores are higher, and some of the water scores are higher, depending on civilization. |

This AI is really good and well made,like you are playing against real player!Especially if you are playing against more than 2 bots,their coordinated attacks are brutal and hard to defend.When you try to infiltrate one of the bots,others will try to help him.You actually need to use tactics and make correct troops(it's impossible to win against them by just spamming OP troop like Cuirassier) in order to defeat them.In my opinion,this is the best AI for AOE3 legacy that i have found on this forum by far! |

Another way to play with the AI is to give all players including self 50% Handicap bonus, and give the AI players +50% Handicap bonus, so that they can age up quickly in say a 20 minute treaty or 30 minute treaty without hinderance.
I suggest this even in online play with regular maps with the AI. It makes for more exciting games and even though you don't get XP for it, you can still get a thrill with having less villagers and still have a good game!
A +50% Bonus to Human Players makes trees, hunted animals, berries, mines, fish give +50% more out of their resources, and +50% faster.
I highly recommend bonus for anyone who wants a short treaty games on non-custom maps with lots of action-packed fighting.
Note that on custom maps I recommend only having bonus for human players.
50% bonus for AI will give 1.5 x 1.5, which would be 2.25 bonus (+125%) to resource gathering for the Expert and 1.25 x 1.5 for Hard which would be 1.875 bonus (+87.5%) to resource gathering.
Also remember that only Expert works online, so whatever bonus you choose, whether +25% or +50% it will always be times the number for original, so 25% Handicap, 1.5 x 1.25, would be 87.5% like a Hard on 50% bonus.
I also recommend using handicaps online so that Native American civilizations will age up more normally, without the factories that Europeans have or Wonders like Asians have. |
