AMAI can't figure it doesn't have a townhall

The other day (last night actuallly) was playing to test the language, After shameful defeats I Decided to try a kamikaze strike towards AMAI's townhalls, with my forces nullified but the townhalls gone, the problem is that AMAI instead of rapidly building a new townhall it decided to build 4 farms , I think this is because it checks the lack of food before checking the lack of townhall or something.

Tried with whosyourdaddy three times, and always the same.

hmm so it didn't have any expansion for income?

I think it should detect that it don'r have any hall with any mine and do "AMAI Emergency Expansionâ„¢". :)

but might build farms instead if it don't have enough gold to afford a new townhall.

It may be that currently the priority for farms is too high compared to that of rebuilding the town hall / making an emergency expansion.

I also noticed this before in some of my replays, except I didn't use the Warcraft cheat to increase resources.

E.g. Enemy Acolyte doesn't want to summon necropolis.


Another similar bug: Yes, they build town halls, but they do not mine! All acolytes are idle, and there's a Haunted Gold Mine. I found a way to make them mine.

First, I attacked a nearby building with 1 hit. The acolytes repaired the building, and then walked to the Gold Mine to mine. o_O Strange, eh?

Yes, that is really strange. It sounds like a hard coded bug. I think I will take over mining from the mining AI in the future.

It actually massed farms, spending way more than what a townhall costs
