Hi!
Just finished a mod/scenario that has 6 playable civs. I used Live Tuner to play dozens (if not more) of games to test balance, overall competitiveness of the set up. From what I observed, one or two of the civs tended to win more often, but the other civs won some games here and there. From these results I assumed Live Tuner demonstrated results similar to what the human player experience would be, and the scenario seemed balanced enough to publish.
My question - is this a valid assumption ? Does anyone have an opinion about the games Live Tuner plays?
I'd like to make certain that these results are helpful in determining a scenario's balance. If they aren't, I'd need to use completely different approaches to ensure balance, most of which are considerably more time-consuming that Live Tuner running game after game in the background.
Thanks,
Sman
