Re: Debugging and tuning AIs
Hi iceiceice, No, I didn't try something simple like L2 vector distances, I would expect slightly better results using that, too. The nice thing about NCD is that you can run it on *anything* and get some kind of clustering out, so I had the right tools for it lying around as "let's quickly NCD...

Re: Debugging and tuning AIs
Hi mattsc, I had such fun playing the default AI as a beginner, gradually learning how to explot its weaknesses until I could finally triumph! I hope to build up a set of entirely different AIs with their own unique set of crippling flaws to complement it, rather than to create the master AI that pr...

Re: Specify scenario options from command-line
Thanks mattsc, that's exactly what I was looking for! If nobody minds I'll document some of those on a "testing AIs" wiki page soon. Also: I had wondered why initial gold was 0; thanks for taking the time to mention the bug and fixed version. Writing Wesnoth AIs was the beginning of my lov...

Specify scenario options from command-line
After a long break I'm coming back to Wesnoth to try my hand at making some interesting AIs with the new API. One of the things I want to do time and time again is run a scenario from the command-line with e.g. fog of war and scrolling disabled. I've read the --help and the manpage and tried searchi...
