Quick question about these games

[zasgard]

In TAOW4 you are able to "sim" a scenario having the computer play both sides. Is that possible in GG games?

Thanks

[EwaldvonKleist]

yes

[Brandon_37]

wouldn't it go the exact same way every time as long as you had the same rules?

[EwaldvonKleist]

No, because of the many RNG elements in the WitE game engine, and there may be some RNG elements in the AI as well.

[Telemecus]

There is enough of a random element to make it interesting.

When I have seen it there is a sort of central limit theorem where many games go the same way. But you do have key battles or places where the result of one hex in one turn can completely change it for the rest of the game.

How do you set the the computer to play both sides?

[EwaldvonKleist]

Game settings->both sides to ai controlled.

Also works with hotseat saves, open it, open game settings or press shift g (I think) and then select Computer controlled. Then click next turn to start ai movement.
