Unnamed AI version 1.09 available

Nice to see another update to your AI. I haven't had much time to play space empires recently, but I always like to try out any improvements you make, as your AI is, so far, the most challenging. Keep up the good work

Awesome! Thanx.

I finally had a chance to start a game, and instantly I discovered something odd. When my second turn began, I was awarded system maps due to my alliance with the Galactic Union alliance. However, this alliance doesn't exist, and I haven't seen any other empires (as it is only the first turn). I also met the Xiati, but they are on the other side of the galaxy. Any ideas on why this happened?

I also noticed something odd: The first system I came across had no star but five planets! The center position was taken by a ringed gas giant and the other four planets were around it. Settled all five. Where are they getting their heat and light?

Vince - do you install the multimedia pack which is needed by the FQM component of Unnamed's mod? It doesn't seem like you did.

ThyReaper,

Did you load your bugged game after playing another save game?

Actually, I did. I habitually clicked resume game, realizing I meant to test a new game of Unnamed. So I then started the new game. I'm pretty sure the Galactic Union is an alliance in the save game that had loaded. I guess it didn't get cleared from memory.

Also, that particular game I had loaded, with the alliance, is currently unplayable for me. It's BM 1.14, and I tried out an alliance. Unfortunately, none of the AIs care, and they constantly request treaties with me instead of the alliance. Any ideas why this is so?

unnamed, Captain Kwok - Yes, I am using the FQM version. I also installed the multimedia pack before starting the game. The game loads without any errors (I was getting all kinds of errors before installing the pack).

Noticed something else odd in the course of the game. I encountered another race and have brotherly relations with them but no treaty yet (keep getting turned down). However, they have fired drones at one world of mine and glassed another. This doesn't strike me as being very brotherly.

Were you using a saved map from a previous game setup?

Not using a saved map.

The brotherly race is being too much of a bother. I'll start another mod game clean and try again. We'll see if any odd map items pop up again.

(I was playing in a medium dying galaxy. Just loved the black hole graphics! )

We had colonies in the same sector and he refused any treaty (probably because of the colonies).

Another odd thing: When his drones attacked my planets the combat started with the drones right next to the planet every time. Anything I had defending did not have time to react to make a difference before he impacted the planet. The results would have been much different if he started at the edge of the tactical map and had to work his way in!

Amonkrie I think. I overwrote the saved game file when I started another game.
