Hello everyone,

I recently resumed playing PoC after a long time.
For some competition I decided to play against one AI player.

First it seemed, it would completely outplay me, as it rapidly accumulated a fleet more then tenfold mine and a correlative goodwill.

However, this only lasted for about ten years into the game,
as the AI:

firstly bought all ships on mortgage base without ever repaying
conversely it bought the next ship as soon as the needed cash was available.

secondly paid low attention on fuel and freight delivery deadlines
resulting on regular penalties and status losses. Laughing

thirdly the AI competitor did never ever consolidate its fleet,
keeping all ships, even the smallest.

finally through a recession period (well observable through the AIs goodwill chart) it went bankrupt, as ship worth and cash did not cover the debt any more Twisted Evil

What I couldn't observe was its repairing behaviour.
At least I didn't notice any wreckages.

It seems, should PoC ever be continued, the AI competition would deserve some makeover (at least, if enough people care to play with it enabled).

Does anyone have his / her own experiences with the AI?
And does anyone apart from me use the feature?

Hope someone's having a look into the forum and telling me.
It's darn lonely here if I recall the great times about 2003-8.

Best wished from Hamburg,

Christian

Du bist nicht alleine und ich schaue (zumindest versuche ich es ) regelmäßig vorbei.
Ich spiele auch gegen die KI und konnte ähnliche Erfahrung machen.

Mein Spieldrang wird meist geweckt, wenn die Sehnsucht nach MEER zu groß wird.




Auch wenn es hier vielleicht nicht hingehört, ich bin auf der Suche nach Hilfe bzgl. Erstellung weiterer Schiffe. Leider fehlen mir oftmals die benötigten technischen Daten. Crying or Very sad


Ich hoffe du liest dies und meldest dich wieder. Werde die nächsten Tage wieder öfter reinschauen.

Das könnte wahrscheinlich zu Komplikationen im Spiel führen, da es nur bis 2012 ausgelegt ist meines Wissens

Would be great if we can get a list of new ships after 2012 to add them, If anyboady is intersted I can also suplly the xml editor for ships towns and goods, maybe make things easier... Have to build a new setup but it shoudl work with the pocxxl installed as its using the same runtime -.-- gibts me some good ideas, also the AI Player, maybe with the nwe tools available nowaday (tensorflow), a new KI/AI player would be a great thing --- rellay gets me some new ideas now .

Mein Problem ist es die Schiffe zu erstellen. Ich besitze nur Grundzüge in GIMP ich glaube das hilft nicht wirklich. Mich würde es brennend interessieren wie damals die Masse der Schiffe erstellt wurden, da sie dem Original sehr nahe kommen.
Man könnte meinen, dass ein Foto in ein "Comic"-Bild umgewandelt wurde.
