AI Battles Tournament!
Since the release of Civ6 I have being toying with the idea of AI battles. The developers large scale AI battle just before release left something to be desired when I came to domination victory, in fact I remember one of the devs saying that he couldn't remember the AI achieving a domination victory in any of their testing. My goal was to see if I could get some domination victories with AI only battles.
First off I started messing with fire-tuner from civ5, which turns out works very well with civ6 but still lacked some options that would allow AI battles. As well I lacked a proper map creation tool to test the AI fairly. However in my limited testing I found that the AI couldn't achieve a domination victory early game and stalemated late game due to wall strength, rioting, and warmongering penalties.
You can see some of my early testing here: Testing video
Then Gedemon released an auto-play mod and I was able to test the AI on the four leaf clover map. I tested with several versions of AI mods of which AI+ had the most promising results. At the same time I got the world-builder to not crash within Civ6 and did some testing with a more fair map.
The results were better than before but it wasn't until version .2 of autoplay and the release of AI+ V9 mods that I was able to get consistent results. I then did some minor modding to the way late game walls work and the way siege weapons strength works. My mods effect the way that AI+ and Auto-play work so I do not want anyone to think it is the mod authors fault if they (their mods) do not behave as they were intended. However I would like to thank the mod authors for their hard work as well as other modders which I used as inspiration.
With the history of how I got to this point out of the way I would like to announce my first AI battles tournament. It will consistent of 18 rounds of elimination play. I had to edit out barbarians and city sates as they slowed the game down by a significant margin.
