Simulate Skirmish without GUI

[STHanger]

I am looking to test new (automated) approaches to game balancing. Is it possible to have two AIs fight a skirmish and get results in some kind of command line? I need to have them play multiple games, which would take quite long in UI mode.

Can you describe what is your data and what is the result you want to look at ?

I would like to simply tweak some parameters like weapon damage, unit health etc. on some arbitrary existing mod. Then let two AIs battle and see who won as well as some stats like resources gathered, units lost etc.

Just check the binaries\system\readme.txt file for the autostart options

Thanks, but this does not have the option to start the game without a UI right? I am now able to start the game and let two AIs battle immediately, but regular playthroughs would take way too long.

There is an option for it. Don't remember it right now. The best way is to ask such questions always in the IRC chat. There you will receive much faster a proper answer.

There is a ticket: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/4078, it provides to setup match settings to all AI.
