CPS_Alexander is a Random Map AI that plays with any civilization on any kind of map except islands. On mixed maps it builds a small fleet to defend its shoreline and to harass enemy fishing ships. It doesn't build transport ships and navy is not the core of its army, thus it will not play on islands.
All supported settings are described below.
Game Type: Random Map
Location: Any map that doesn't require transport ships to carry soldiers.
Map Size: Any
Teams: Any combination
Resources: Standard (Low)
Difficulty: Hard recommended
Population: 175 or 200 (200 recommended)
Starting Age: Dark Age
Victory: Any (conquest recommended - this AI does not build Wonders)
Civilization: Any
This AI plays 10 different strategies and several their variations (every civ can pick from at least 3 strategies).
It can flush, or go Fast Castle.
Note: This AI does not cheat (except on Hardest mode, when it gets additional
resources as any other AI does. It uses cc-commands only to count tress
and stone or gold piles). If you think that you need more challenge, use
version H (has some cheats) or S (cheats extremly) - both included in zip file.

I decided to write a review for this AI, as it still does not have one and imho deserves more attention than it currently has.
For this review, I did several best of three matches against other good AIs which were all held with random civs, most on 1v1 on a tiny arabia map. The results were 2-0 vs Kosmos 2.42, 2-1 vs Barbarian 1.7, 2-1 vs Chameleon, 0-2 vs Crusade 4.05 and 0-2 vs IS TMachine 7.3
While CPS Alexander may not be the strongest AI script out here, the results show it can keep up with other tough random civ aiscripts out there, while it has a great variety of different strategies. This makes CPSA less predictable and more fun to play against.
Cons:
- Low use of siege units make it bad against human players turtling.
- Early castle age after feudal defense could be better. It had many idle farms in some games and should better spent the wood on something else.
Pros:
- Unpredictable due to different strategies.
- Overall good performance.
- Good in team games when teamed up with another CPSA.
TL;DR - This is a fun aiscript to play against, be sure not miss this one! |
