I guess that you meant "AI" or "Computer Player". And yes, that is a problem. I think that Tibor has some problem to code that and probably he had no idea how to solve the problem in ALL of cases. For small maps that is very difficult to code the solution. For big ones it is much easier But we should think about ALL possibilities first.

If you have any idea how to do that, you can open a bug report on Launchpad and discuss your idea.

Previous AI wasn't doing it in a right way too, so there is no regression.

@GunCheloc:

Yes, I know that developing is very hard. I would like to have some time for Widelands, but I can't remember when I had some And I have no idea when I will be ready for everything But for sure I will help you with testing!

I don't know if this is a "bug", but as recently as 7529 (the latest version I have), the CPU doesn't leave extra space around buildings that need them (foresters, farms, etc.). As a result, those buildings aren't as efficient as they should be.

They're also more than willing to put a forester near a farm, thus letting trees grow where the farm wants to plant crops).

Finally, they're also wiling to put a forester in a place where most of the land around them is not tree-friendly -- meaning most of the trees are planted on desert, mountain, etc. and die before they reach pull size.

Now, maybe these issues are just me overreacting (I like to leave plenty of space for foresters, farms, etc., and certainly don't want foresters to overlap with other space-needing buildings), but maybe someone else should take a look.

Rangers never checked the type of soil where they are built, but other things might have changes. Some screenshot would help.

Only note that everything is based on scoring, AI can count types of buildings in vicinity and score accordingly, but this does not work absolutely strictly/reliably

I will be away from my development machine for about a month, so I'll post a bunch of new merge request over this weekend for the branches that have reached a state where they could go in.

Also please look at lp:~widelands-dev/widelands/bug-1523165 - this is fixing trainingsites and upgrading of productionsites. Code was reviewed, just somebody have to test it.

I have tweaked the timings for messages and objectives in the tutorials and campaigns. It would be good to have some user testing so see if they should be improved further.

• Barbarian scenario 1: Shifted story messages back to reduce the barrage at the start of the scenario. Also, more felling axes to make clearing the trees easier.
• Atlantean scenario: Trigger warehouse objective earlier, so we can expand faster and have some horses ready when racing for the lake.
• Warfare Tutorial: Build trainingsites concurrently in order to save time.
• Economy tutorial: Sleep longer for the stock window.

Appveyor builds for Windows

Testers can also drop the data directory into a current trunk, no recompiling needed.
