Illuminati is a fine AI and an excellent addition to the UserPatch AI Scripting Ladder. Though a rather specific AI tailored to 1v1s as Aztecs on open maps, Illuminati stands as a prime example of what can be achieved when elite scripting skills are meshed with the increased potential that the UserPatch allows AI scripters with various new forms of functionality. As of now it sits at an ELO rating of 1628 in the ladder, a very impressive achievement given the company in which it stands.
With regard to gameplay, the AI benefits from the high level of game knowledge exhibited by its scripter, who used to commonly play AoE2 multiplayer at a competitive level. Unsuspecting players will watch in shock as their base is overpowered by masses of Monks, pikes, eagles, and siege. Furthermore, the early game of this AI is formidable, and it can achieve Castle Age times quite impressive for an AI. Although there are a few things that could be improved (such as a dearth of military buildings as evidenced in some ladder games) and some bugs here and there, the author has done an excellent job of responding to feedback and improving his AI accordingly.
Additional Comments:
An up-and-coming AI, Illuminati definitely deserves a look. Even experienced multiplayer players will find it to be a healthy challenge, and I'm sure that as time goes on the author will continue to improve it even further. Excellent work, Aleph![Edited on 01/12/16 @ 01:50 PM]

Thanks for the review, Sam!
I'm currently doing a lot of work on the AI. It now has basic Team Game functionality (including a great pocket eagle flood), many new micro features and I'm adding more civs. |

Hi, I've tested your AI against the Imfamous Barbarian AI, and it performed splendidly (Ill) Japanese vs (Bar) Chinese both were on Random civs, Arabia 1v1 and Illuminati had upperhand by the 27 min mark. Barbarian did however have a slightly stronger Economy Score and led by about 40 points ahead of Illuminati and stole a boar. In Comparison they are both on par where as Illuminati did perform better at its Skirmishes against the Barbarian I have to agree this is a really well rounded AI and to me it feels like the leading AI at the moment. Its challenging as hell. A very good job on your end keep up the good work! Rating 5! |

Illuminati is definitely a TOP AI and at least a MUST HAVE.
Its newest version "0.9" is hugely improved for teamgames. Keep up the good work Aleph :D |
