N3O Better AI TAD 1.03 Gold (December 7) file

This is the Gold Edition of the N3O FP AI TAD 1.03.

It plays all civilizations, including Japan (which was bugged in the original version).

It also has all the features of the Flycatcher/Guardsman AI scripts:

all the Treaty Rules and New Cards are in this Gold Edition Script.


To compare with the Guardsman AI, this AI trains less unit types, but is a quicker judge

of the battlefield strategy in which units to pick. Civ Bias for Cavalry, Infantry, Artillery

has been reworked for some civilizations; most remain the same.


The AI works online on Expert Difficulty.

Hard, Moderate, Easy Difficulties are improved.

These difficulty levels won't work online because I changed handicap.

--------

Update December 7, 2023:

Added Yeomen Card back to British AI Deck (They will choose this over the Fort Wagon)
This is because the British AI in this AI builds Longbowmen, and for users who use this AI without Bonus Expansion Pack or N3O Added Pack 1.3z3Ra, the AI need to be able to upgrade these units.

--------

Update December 6, 2023:

Forbidden training of Arsonists, Iron Troops, Jat Lancers, Yojimbo for European AIs
Forbidden training of Repentant Iron Troops, Jat Lancers, Yojimbos, Manchus, Swiss Pikemen for Asian AIs (India; Chinese and Japanese don't use Mercenaries)
Asians and Natives no longer try to train non-Repentant Mamelukes and Elmeti.
The btOffenseDefense values have been increased to Freestyle + Klaxon standards (0.45, 0.50, 0.55)
The btRushBoom third values have been increased from -1.0 to -0.65 to match Freestyle + Klaxon
The BiasTrade values and BiasNative values have been randomized as in Freestyle + Klaxon AI

--------

Update December 5, 2023:

Added transport handling for Basic Maps, Age Maps, NR Maps, and Maps with Treasures, Knights and Barbarians Maps. This brings it up to Freestyle + Klaxon AI standards for Water Transport Maps.

--------

Update August 26, 2022:

Added transport handling for NR Micronesia and Great Barrier Reef (though the AI can still not play Great Barrier Reef)

Germans AI added special rule for Treaty Games to get more Cards during TreatyFrom under 8 minutes, between 8 to 10 minutes, and after 10 minutes.This is to help AI with Downtown Maps, and other high-resource starts.

+10 Economic Population for Easy Difficulty (80), +10 Population (160) on non-Treaty Games

--------

Update July 17, 2022:

Removed from gWater Maps: Northwest Territory, including Custom Versions.

I did this because AI tried to invade by sea when it should have supported with units by land.

--------

Update July 16, 2022:

Removed from gWater Maps: New England, Plymouth, NR Polynesian Atoll

And also for all custom Versions of New England and Plymouth

I did this because it was causing problems with land combat for the AI.

Added to Transport Maps: NR Bengawan Solo (an Amazonia type map), NR Pulua Seribu (a Caribbean type map), Honest Amazonia, Caribbean, Ceylon

Added to gWaterMaps: Honest Northwest Territory, Honshu

--------

Update May 3, 2022:

Removed from gWater Maps: Indochina, Carolina, Saguenay, Patagonia, Hispaniola, California; Lrg and NR Versions

Removed from gWater Maps: NR Van Dieman's Land

This prevents AI from trying to transport units by boat on these maps.

Added: Hunting New England, Plymouth, Northwest Territory, Honshu

Added: NR Amazonia TP

--------

Update April 12, 2022.

Added Eco Maps to AI map list: Caribbean, Ceylon, Amazonia to transport maps, and Plymouth, New England, Northwest Territory, Honshu to water maps.

Moderate +15% handicap bonus non treaty (1.15), (1.0), to match with treaty (1.15, 1.25)

--------

Fixed NR Aysen code: AI will not build walls on this map, but will do regular wall-building on other maps

--------

Update March 30, 2022. Unique Sea Update 4.

Removed Option for AI invading islands on Water Maps:

NR Te Tai Tokerau, NR Easter Island, NR Madagascar, NR Aysen

Special wall handling for NR Aysen added:

AI will not build walls to block off its path to the land

--------

--------

Update March 19, 2022. Unique Sea Update.

Added Option for AI invading islands on Water Maps:

Northwest Territory, New England, Plymouth, Honshu. For:

Grand Cmp, Musket, Downtown, Esport, Quest, Tryhard, Jolly,

Age, NR, Impeccable, Ruby, Standard versions of these maps.

Note:

aiSetWaterMap(true);
gWaterMap = true;

Regulates the option to invade islands.

Add any custom water map to this an AI will use ships periodically.

This is different than the total approach used in Caribbean, Amazonia.

--------

Update March 17, 2022. Sea WOL Update.

Added Transport Handling for Wars of Liberty Water Maps:

NR Falklands Islands, NR Ibalong (Phillipines), NR Galapagos,
NR Azores, NR Balkans, NR New Zealand, NR Archipelago

Added to Fishing Maps for Wars of Liberty Water Maps:

NR Falklands Islands, NR Ibalong (Phillipines), NR Galapagos, NR Marajo, NR Australia, NR Aysen, NR Azores, NR Balkans, NR Gibraltar, NR Gold Coast, NR Gujarat, NR Iberian Peninsula, NR New Zealand, NR Te Tai Tokerau (Northern New Zealand), NR Te Tai Poutini (Southern New Zealand), NR Polynesian Atoll, NR Tahiti, NR Archipelago

Note that if player invades an island, AI teammates will help, I've figured that's its a trigger based on scouting. If AI has a dock and knows about where to attack, it will invade other player's islands.


--------

Update March 3, 2022. Sea Update.

Added Transport Handling for these water maps on these modes:

Musket, Esport, Downtown, Grand Cmp: Caribbean, Amazonia, Ceylon, Lagoon.

Also for Age: Caribbean, Amazonia, Ceylon, and Impeccable: Caribbean, Amazonia.

--------

Bias Trade and Bias Native increased (0.5, 1.0; 0.5, 0.5)

This reflects how often each AI will get Trading Posts or Native Warriors.

--------


I have also changed the Header File up to 120 Defense and Search Radius.
