AMAI 2.53 Released

04-18-2008, 11:59 PM

Ok i know that wasn't much of a beta but there was just nothing wrong coming up. So without further ado here is version 2.53. Download from AMAI website or the two usual mirros.

2.53 will likely be the last of the 2.5 series unless the next upcoming patch needs an update too. I will be working only on AMAI 3.00 so you may want to watch the technical build download links as progress is made on the dynamic strategies. It may not be that impressive at beginning mind but over time noticeable things will occur which will make you jump in amazement

@lord999: Havn't touched humans strategies so they will be the same as they were in 2.52c (albiet without the bugs)

And considering work on amai 3.00 i probrably wont touch the fixed strategies now. Although i do have some strategy changes i did sometime ago i never implemented (only touched human and elf). I may release those as optional replacements which can be added using the DE edition. They may work better ( or not)

snowtiger	When I try to run the exe, it gives an error, something like "Can't find "loadmpq.lua"

Strategy Master	is loadmpq.luq actually in the exe directory? Also ensure you are using latest patch. As extra information for me what edition was you using and TFT or ROC? Otherwise your need to bring this up in the grimoire thread. Or you can just use the PE edition instead.

snowtiger	I used the latest version, TFT, and I could see the loadmpq.lua in the directory. Thank you for your help :) Edit: I've just used the PE edition. Thanks for the help :)

Hello!

I used 2.52c vigorously and had loads of fun with it, apart when the militia screwed up when trying to expand!

But now in 2.53 it seems that Orc and Human have some kind of glitch when they expand. So they take their expansion, build their town hall, make some towers and just send workers on the trees, but not a single one in the gold mine!
(Undead and NightElves are fine by the way)

I have tried the AI on many maps, Player and Simple edition. But they always act like that! Put 2 comps on LAN to fight themselves (u as obs) and you will see clearly.

Hope it's fixed! Thank you!
