Any extra advantage? CPU Mega vs. Human Beings :)
« on: 13 November 2010, 16:28:08 »
Hi,

I really wonder whether CPU Mega has any advantages over others, which is called "pull" in informal English. CPU Mega seems to have extra harvesting speed, but I may be mistaken. I will be glad to hear that it doesn't have "pull". I wanna beat it only if we are equal. :)

Sincerely,
Ali

Indeed, the Mega has a resource advantage. If I recall, the easy cpu makes 50% the normal resources, while the ultra cpu makes 150%, and the mega cpu makes 200%.

Iin GAE, Megas have a 5x resource multiplyer(5 times the regular normal of resources you get from your worker/mage) + Better AI.

in MG, well the next version of it/SVN HEAD, harvesting has been improved, so it only has 4x the times of resources...You can try to balance it though...at least for now.

Basically, the cpus will never be equal...normal is the closest to that. But then  normals get too easy...

I had believed that there was an algorithm by which the CPU was calculating the most efficient way such as maximum resource harvisting and unit producing in minimum time. I tried to find the same way, and I think you guess... That belief drove me crazy in the course of time. Finally I threw in the towel.

However, still, I love Glest.

Thank you.
Best wishes,
Ali
