And the topic of the thread is about AI play, which may be even less interested in preventing other players from doing well.

Re: Is Turkey too powerful?
That was the question -- are the bots playing differently than humans? So the dataset I looked at was human players. Are you seeing more than 12% or so VEN>TRI in the bot games?DougJoe wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2023 6:21 amOh, and those games are from PlayDiplomacy, which, AFAIK, doesn't have bots... So those are (theoretically) human-only games. That might make sense that there's such a difference in the percentages. I don't what games the AI bots were trained on here, but it would be interesting to see the difference in Italy play between low/high level players.

No. As I thought I said before, I'm seeing Ven-Tri a little *less* than 1 in 8. I see much, much more of Ven->Tyo, Rom->Ven with the bots than with the human data you posted.ShipOfTheseus wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2023 7:03 pmThat was the question -- are the bots playing differently than humans?

Re: Is Turkey too powerful?
"Vastly" higher than 12% openings of an attack on Austria ... says 75%?? which is very different than a typical game. A couple of mods have said in the past that bots programmed to learn ... but they can't be as this is normally such a disastrous opening for Italy (not always - but normally)

Re: Is Turkey too powerful?
The developers made turkey extra powerful as they for some unfathomable reason have Italy attack Austria in the vast majority of games (over 80%) which is unrealistic to how diplomacy normally played both in regular and gunboat

Re: Is Turkey too powerful?
I think the data for gunboat games shows that Italy attacking Austria isn't really a bad idea, and might actually be the optimal strategy (at least with almost every Austria opening Alb/Ser/Gal). Which is why bots like to do it so much. In press it is a different story because Austria and Russia can ally but no one seems to be able to make that happen in gunboat.Bladerunners wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 6:51 amThe developers made turkey extra powerful as they for some unfathomable reason have Italy attack Austria in the vast majority of games (over 80%) which is unrealistic to how diplomacy normally played both in regular and gunboat

Re: Is Turkey too powerful?
It seems to me that Italy automatically in bad position by doing so as Turkey and/or Russia profit much faster than Italy can
