Watching AI vs AI Wars

[jcikal]

Is it possible with either the SDK or the upcoming Warlords Expansion to be able to watch AI vs AI Battles like I can with Civ 3? Is anyone working on this?

Perhaps this is what you're looking for:

AIAutoPlay

Let me see if I understand this properly: You specify the # of turns (say 540) and the AI will play for 540 turns for all Civs, including the human player's Civ. Is that correct?

Also, as the Ai plays the turns, can I watch the AI battle each other?

I don't know the mod myself, you best try it out with a little number (say 10 turns) and see if it's what you want.

Yes. At any point you can re-open the Autoplay window cancelling the automation. You can see the player which you start as, and if you switch on debug mode you can see them all. Debug mode also lets you see all Civ's techs, civics and suchlike. (Game.toggleDebugMode in console)

Be warned - they tend to move rather fast.

Be warned - they tend to move rather fast.

I take it that there's no camera automatic lock-on the AI like in Civ 3, where the camera automatically shows each AI move. In Civ 4 do you have to scroll manually to find the AI?
