	AI Question, people... Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Hey, y'all.

I've been contemplating a possible addition for Awesome Aips 1.3 and I thought I'd ask you good folk before giving it serious thought, to see if there is enough demand:

In addition to Regard (the AI's opinion of you) lost to being human and in first place in ranking (this is a default setting, which has been altered but not changed), would you think it would be realistic for the AI to feel as badly towards last place civs? A picking-on-the-little-guy poll, I guess.

Let us know your thoughts.


(Oh, and any last suggestions, no matter how wacky--within reason --please let either myself or Wes know.)

Thanks.

I think the aggressive personalities should definitely dislike the lowest ranking civ. After all, that would be the best one to attack for conquest. However, the more peaceful personalities should be nicer to the weaker civs, hoping to prop them up as a buffer against the aggressive ones.

Everyone should still hate #1. No one likes a bully, as is obvious with all the anti-US sentiment in Off-Topic.

Personally, I think this is how things are now. I'm in 5th place out of 6 in my current game, and all but my ally have had that angry face the entire game. They declare war at the drop of a hat, or whenever they feel like it, too.

Vlad:
Nope. That's true enough--bullies esp. don't like bullies

Wes:
Hmm. I'll have a look and see if there is code that defines this. I haven't seen it, but my all-seeing powers aren't what they used to be
