Here's the CPA:

It'll hit in about 10 seconds, freeze for about a minute, then pile up on the wormholes. Debug shows that they typically target planets a few hops away, don't know if that explains it.

Hmm, could that be it? When waiting to enter planet X (where X might or might not be their final destination), do they consider their "ships pending to attack X" to "enemy stuff on X" firepower ratio, or do they do that ratio comparison relative to the final destination, even if X isn't their final destination?


Optimally, they should be doing some of both. They should be doing it for the final destination to choose which planet they should aim for, and whether to "break it off" and find a new potential planet. If needed, they should also do it for the next enemy planet they need to "lurk" if they must use that planet to get to their destination for determining when to take that next step on their path to the final destination.
Aka, use final destination comparison for "final goal" selection, use the "next" planet comparison for "should I go into the next planet in my path" decision.

I just finished ripping all the references to "Firepower" out of the game and replacing it with the relative-strength logic (had to put in numbers for some things that didn't have that, but it's done now).

Testing your scenario the AI fairly quickly overruns Recursion, No Context, and Box of Mazes.

But it looks at "Midnight" and says "Good Night!".  It's about 70,000 strength of Threatfleet (another 12,000 pinned down elsewhere) staring across the wormholes at over 52,000 strength of your mobile and non-mobile defenses.

There's enough AI TF strength (about 4,500) in your "local cluster" to overrun Milkman's Lair and go after High Lab (which the TF is fixated on despite not being able to reach it, due to a lack of "reevaluate whether we can even get there" logic, a lack I'm currently testing a remedy for), but the ally enclaves are camping Milkman's Lair with some 3,000 of their own strength and the AI wants none of that.

Testing continues...

Woa. I knew you mentioned you would like to have only one type of per ship relative strength/cost property, but I didn't think you would actually go through with it this early.
Must of been a lot of work.


Also, how are the firepower displays in the UI handled? Do they now just show the relative strength sum now?

Firepower just didn't work as a consistent measure of power.  It was basically just BaseDPS.  Not even counting bonuses or whatever.

Exo budgets are still done their way (not firepower, not strength) since they at least function in a desirable way even if they don't quite make sense at higher tiers.

They're all updated to use strength now.

Found that I was mistaken about thinking that wait points factored in AI ships on other neighboring planets waiting against the same planet.  Well, they do now.

Still not enough to get them to go after Midnight.  I think that's because the wait point logic itself factors in munitions boosts on the target planet and does not factor in munitions boosts on the threat ships that are considering attacking it.  And I agree with that logic; it's somewhat conservative (it could check for mobile munitions boosting ships in the threat itself, which there is in this case) but I think that's appropriate given that a smart player will just assassinate their mobile munitions boosters if it's really making that much difference, whereas the AI will probably not be able to neutralize the human's boosting (largely from a military III in this case, I believe).

Anyway, what I need to track down now is why the threatfleet logic (as opposed to the wait point logic) is being less conservative than the wait logic when it's supposed to be more conservative than the wait logic (to avoid situations like this where chunks of the TF get "stuck" by the wait logic).  I'm guessing it's handling munitions boosts in a different way.

In the process of adding some detailed logging to check the strength computations, etc, I apparently introduced a bug which short-circuited the wait point logic in that particular case.

So the entire 82k+ strength TF attacked simultaneously.

Midnight's defenses destroyed them all.

Unattended by player control.

Your Cursed Golem slept through the whole thing.  Nor did any of Tripwire's golems or spirecraft get involved.

Yeah, they aren't intended to repel attacks, merely discourage them/support the fleet.

...is an all-out, exo-grade chokepoint. I am not surprised at the result, though it is good to know.

You might want to have stuff like gravity turrets and forcefields factor in to planetary strength evaluations (if they don't already).


Basically, the CPA should be attacking everywhere but Midnight (and possibly High Lab/Milkman's lair, with mercs+allied enclaves) but be hitting hard everywhere else. And the ones that can't shouldn't wait at the wormholes.

They aren't counted (and haven't been under firepower rules).  I'm not sure how to count them as they shouldn't really scare anyone off on their own, etc.  But it probably should do some degree of "if the player's using those smartly, this is going to hurt a lot more than otherwise indicated, so..."

Idea: have the "civilian" things multiply the military strength, by (1+ some evalution).

So it won't discourage an attack on an essentially undefended planet, but will factor in to big chokepoints. The actual result of "some evaluation" will need some testing, but I think for each mk*cap of ffs/gravity turrets, it should be about .2 to start.

It's actually closer to going through than I thought.  And it would still lose.

Btw, with the "threat waiting considers all ships waiting on that planet" logic the AI actually did make the dash through Milkman's Lair to try to get to Midnight via Tripwire.  A goodly chunk of the AI actually made it through the atmospheric density of ally-faction enclave younglings to the Tripwire wormhole... and promptly turned around, figuring the few extra younglings it could dispatch on ML was more than it could do against what awaited on Tripwire.

What it should have done is go after High Lab; just a result of its "one threatfleet to rule them all" characteristics and Midnight being the target accessible from the "origin" (the AI HWs).  Not entirely sure if I want to try to make it multi-fleet as that's gonna be quite complicated, but this is one argument for it.

Yea, that occurred to me too, but does it actually work?  I can see a mkI cap of ffs making a 10,000 strength defense "look like" a 12,000 strength defense.  But should it really make an 80,000 strength defense "look like" a 96,000 strength defense?

In this case, I suppose so ;)

Yes. An 80,000 strength defence performs a lot more than 8 times better than a 10,000 defence, and this would help the AI "realize" that.

That's what it's still doing; I meant "strength" (the new numbers) as opposed to "firepower" (the old numbers).  The test was "earlier" in the sense of hours ago, whereas the tests I'm currently running are at a later stage in the game (the woebegone siege of Midnight).

There is only one threatfleet, correct.  Before joining the threatfleet threat behaves normally for 30 minutes, and that is more "distributed" as you'd expect.

But when CPA ships were changed to get dunked directly into threatfleet...  Well, I'm making a change now to not try to TF any ship that isn't on the AI's "side" of the galaxy.  Better that they stick to the "local" logic if they're cut off in some corner of the galaxy on the wrong side of one mean chokepoint.

Yes. Same with special forces. It causes strange behavior when the AI space is not connected. I've mentioned this about special forces before, and the same arguments apply to threat fleet as well.
