Don't these scores seem ridiculously low?

[jpinard]

I had ther AI play itself to see if things were balanced, and was shocked at how low the scores stayed. Here's the stats:

* Year: 2001
* Map size: Gigantic
* Game Speed - Marathon
* Vassals off.
* Tech brokering off.
* At this point almost everything has been researched + multiple future techs.
* 11 civs out of the starting 16 still survive.
* Game modded so civs start with just agriculture.
* Minimum city distance is 3. Because 11 civs * ~25 cities per size = already a lot of cities.
* Difficulty level is a Noble with a few tweaks.

Does this seem way off to anyone else? Or are the scores just super ow because I'm technically "out of the game"? I have the cheats enabled so I can see everything and have the AI play itself.

No, that seems absolutely bizzarely low to me too

I'm surprised Toku isn't dead last.

How did you get it to play itself?

Getting the AI to play with itself

Bad human; bad, bad, bad; back to 3D world for you

* Map size: Gigantic


Ok, I'll bite.

How do you get a Gigantic Map? I love large maps. The larger, the better!!!

I find it weird that bismark is in the middle of the pack especially considering the size of his empire. Somehow hes being beat handedly by hannibal??? whats that?!

Score scales with map size, so 25 cities on a gigantic map isn't worth very much.

how is this possible i wanna to paly AI itself too

You could do the same cheat he did--revealing all information, though I don't know how to do it--after starting a Custom Game with Require Complete Kills on. Then go into World Editor and give yourself one Submarine in a one-tile ocean or something... The key is to give yourself something that won't distract the AI. I'm sure there's a better way to do that than what I said. Maybe one workboat?

* Go into My Games Beyond the Sword folder and open the cfg file.

* Find the line CheatCode and change the 0 to chipotle

* Start your game, and hit ctrl z.

* Hit ~ and then type game.aiplay x
except substitue a number for the x. That's the number of turns that will progress before you can do anything in the game again.

I'm doing some further testing, and so far ALL my gmes are chruning out really low numbers. So it makes me wonder if having the cheat thing on does something to the overall scores? (I hope)

Those scores don't seem low, but I play on Standard size maps so that may make a different.

Why would you turn Vassals off and turn on No Tech Brokering?

Do it with vassals and full trade o and Chipotle is a mexican food joint..
