The Warzone AI's behavior is determined by a set of algorithms.  The source code behind these algorithms can be viewed on GitHub at https://github.com/FizzerWL/WarLight.AI. You can also read more about the AI at https://www.warzone.com/blog/index.php/2016/02/the-warlight-ai-goes-open-source/
+
The exact inner mechanics of the AI remain a mystery. However, some general rules of its behaviour are known. Those were either deducted through observation of the AI's movements, or they have been stated by the creator himself on the forums.

Note: The descriptions below refer to the AI as of december 2011. Future modifications to the AI are likely to alter its behaviour.

−
The AI constructs a list of actions it could take on each turn, along with a value of how strongly it feels it should do that action. It then does a weighted random against that list. This means that the AI is never perfectly predictable, but it does have tendencies.

* It always attacks as though you won't reinforce. [http://warlight.net/Forum/Thread.aspx?ThreadID=1744&Offset=2]

* It generally only places armies in a few spots and attacks from them. [http://warlight.net/Forum/Thread.aspx?ThreadID=1744&Offset=2]
 +
* It tends to prefer neutral territories over player controlled territories, but it mostly prefers to attack the weakest territories. [http://warlight.net/Forum/Thread.aspx?ThreadID=1744&Offset=4]

* It tends to favor getting bonuses, and breaking enemy bonuses higher than making random other attacks. [http://warlight.net/Forum/Thread.aspx?ThreadID=1744&Offset=4]

#If a bonus is entirely controlled by teammates and it has >= 50% of the territories. It will only do attacks of 2 then.

* The AI will not play cards when teamed with a human teammate unless it must play cards by rule.  The only circumstance where an AI must play cards when teamed with a human teammate is if the last player on a team turns into an AI via boot or surrender and [[cards]] must be used by that team that turn.

== Playing With Itself ==

−
Under the single-player tab, you can set up a game full of AIs, no [[fog]] and watch the entire game play out on its own.
+
−
 
+
−
However, under the multi-player tab, the AI will not play a game without any humans involved.  If only AIs remain in a game, the AIs will simply [[vote to end]].  If voting to end is not possible, such as in a [[tournament]] game, the AIs will just pick a winner randomly.  This restriction is necessary due to the way that multi-player games work.  Due to Warzone's flexible engine, someone could construct a game that took thousands or millions of turns to finish.  For example, a game with no bonuses or large [[wastelands]] separating players.  The Warzone server would strain to complete these games, likely causing the entire site to grind to a halt.
