With new autopilot feature, I lost to the Norman's AI.

I'm not really interested in tips because I don't play much anyway, but I would like to know. Did I lose on picks alone, were there points I could have made better moves? I recognize there were points I could have been a little dicier, especially SA-Antarctica, and I should have done more to defend East China.

I'd like to know less for me and more to ascertain the Norman AI. Imo the AI seemed to focus on counter-pick a bit more than good for it, focusing on being optimal rather than best. Zeph and I agreed it was weird with its leftovers. It also seemed to lack much order delay capability.

Ticked my OCD how he never moved these leftover stacks of 2/3 after succesfully taking "enclaved" territories. Could've been better spent. I saw that bot make some really damn stupid moves with large stacks lost inside it.

Otherwise, damn, it picks really smartly. Probably better than myself.

BREAKING NEWS!

AI BEATS NOOB IN SHOCKING MATCH!

YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!

?? Fleece i think your mocking me, but in effect you're looking like a giant Douche.

@Genghis: From turn... 6 to turn 9 on it was Zephyrum (or maybe another AI) playing. I added some code lately to make the AI expand (a bit) better and move towards opponent bonuses which has a huge gameplay effect. However this won't work in fog games where the the AI doesn't know where the opponent bonuses are.

I've noticed in all the games I've seen, the bot always picks the 3 bonuses? If so it could be a big flaw.

@Buns157: Wunderwaffe picks the bonuses from best to worst without going for stuff like counters. The reason it prefers +3 bonuses on this particular template is a certain punishment for bigger bonuses being adjacent to good smaller bonuses and vice versa smaller bonuses get some points added for being adjacent next to good bigger bonuses. Looking at the game from Genghis it should also have a small punishment for picking two picks with a possible opponent pick in between.

Well, that last game is mostly played by me honestly. So not a good example.

(The AI would not have counted Chralanka, but expanded instead, Most of the orders in that game is made by me. The AI did the picking, and 3 completely independent turns)
