It seems that qBot has trouble with the new systems as well. I just played a game against it and it hadn't worked out upgrading to the town phase, so it didn't have much in the way of an army or economy. In short, I steamrollered it.

How bad is JuBot, dare I ask?  :P

I haven't tried it lately. Would you like me to? :P

So far, it's managed to build a barracks, which shows its managed to get to the Town Phase.

That's impressive, given I haven't added anything since they put phases in.  :P

Indeed, not sure why qBot can't do it.

Well, although JuBot appeared to be able to get to the town phase, since it built a barracks, it still hasn't grasped territories or building resource dropoff points near distant resources.

It *should* work with territories, but I really need to improve the expansion logic. Gah. Just not enough time lately.  :(

Updated first post.

Tested Maghada today but made the critical mistake of not using a population cap. The AI just made villagers until everything slowed to an impossible crawl.  :P

Otherwise good though.  :)

I'm tracking this game on MODdb, but I just can't find time to try new versions.
I've kind of lost interest for it, though.

I might do more testing on it soon. I don't feel it's quite a stable enough platform to mod much at the moment and I'm too out of the loop to get back into AI stuff though...

Yeah, I'm kind of on the same page... besides the fact that my current computer barely can run it, the fact it's still on alpha kind of turns me off with the performance issues, mostly the fact that it's still not ready. I can imagine how hard it should be for someone trying to mod or even contribute, since you have to be actively following the mod to keep up with the updates.

I'm still relatively proud that I (think) brought this game here :D

Apparently A15 will be out in early December, and will include a multiplayer lobby.  :)

I haven't been following it so closely, but that's darn cool. I guess the recurrent player base will expand with that. I might give it another try, especially since I'm with my gaming rig, and will be for the next 3 months

A recent tweet says the Alpha 15 release notes are being drafted :)
