Two computer players aiming for the same system

January 9, 2002 6:02 AM from

I just had a situation where two alien colonizers aimed for the same system. I would too if I had a colony ship ready. I only had a scout, but I used it to maneuver the alien ships to it'd be tie. (One was two/three trunes ahead of the other, so I blocked him and made him go around me). What happened then was that both aliens colony ships moved on/into the system and they both dissapeared. Hmm logically one of them (the loser) should have used his to grab another system, and they both shouldnt be able to go on/in the system.

But perhaps logic doesnt apply for computer player? Hehehe

Hrrm, my error.

I conquered the system many rounds later, and then I saw that the losing ship was stuck there a few pixels away. Nothing special in the debug.err, but I have a pic of it

Yeah, that's a result of temporary code that I put in there to keep ships from getting trapped under the planet if they weren't able to colonize or conquer the planet in time.
