Other AI bots besides Petra

[Eilat]

I think it would be more interesting if we created AI bots with different mindsets and behaviors instead of just allowing Petra of varying levels to participate in battles. Here's a bot I created based on Petra but with a defensive focus, called Iron Tortoise. It defeats Petra in every battle with its unlimited population and abundant resources. Besides that, I think there should be separate bots with behaviors of nomadic civilizations, maritime civilizations, and possibly more. Everyone is welcome to try them out and give feedback. I'd love to hear your opinions.

This bot's economic indicators are quite good when facing Petra

The city of Han was built by Iron Tortoise (emerald green) and Petra (yellow).

This is pretty cool. Did you base this off of the A27 Petra or the R28 Petra?

(with the amount of new bots on this forum, I’m thinking about compiling a mega bot pack.)

It's A27's Petra (actually, it's someone else's Petra Expert, but I found the Petra Expert's attacks too constant and not strong enough, so I decided to reverse the style to a defensive counter attack. Iron Tortoise rarely brings troops into enemy territory, but when it does, it's devastating. Because of this difference, I separated it into a separate bot. In addition, I also created a bot with similar economic power to Iron Tortoise called Economy Master).

That's also what I want, bots with different styles will make the game more interesting.

Post Eco Master and I’ll include it in my Bot Pack.

Here are some of Eco Master's stats when battling Petra.

The population has surpassed 1800 by the Iron Tortoise bot, the highest I've ever seen. The match isn't over yet, and the population continues to grow.

I'm delighted to introduce the newest bot in my series of AI bots, the Protectorate bot. This bot represents a breakthrough in gameplay compared to the previous two, redefining alliance relationships. To play this bot, you need at least two players on the same team, both controlled by Protectorate. The player with the smaller ID will play the role of the "Empire," and the other players will be "vassals" (for example, if players 1, 2, and 3 are on the same team, player 1 will be the Empire, and players 2 and 3 will be the vassals). The Empire will prioritize military strength and trade, while the vassals will prioritize workers and pay 30% of their resources every 60 seconds to the Empire. This payment is waived if the vassal's resources are less than 20% of the Empire's resources and increases to 40% when the Empire launches an attack. The empire would also station troops in vassal states, with the number depending on the actual situation (this only happened when the empire's population exceeded 100).

Below are some statistics from a 2v2 match with 2 Protectorate bots vs. 2 Petra bots (Team 1 is Protectorate and Team 4 is Petra, unlimited population and average resources).
