Local Variables for the AI

[Kyran]

This is my old AI from 2010. I want to make it release worthy. I need to make jadeite_stepping local to the AI. I'm thinking about turning it into an array jadeite_stepping[AiPlayer], would there be a better way?

Using Array with AIPlayer is the way used in wargus,
and it seems a good way to handle AI variables in script.

Note that lua function "CleanGame_Lua()" is called when a game ends and those variables should be cleaned in that function.

Note also that local variables are not saved.

I read your script:
Don't use Math.random since you may have desync in MultiPlayer.
Use SyncRand instead.

I am looking for a game engine that can run as a turn based game. Stratagus caught my attention, and before investing a lot of time, blood, sweat, and tears I wanted to ask if this engine is able to do turn based strategy or not.

Wyrmsun grand strategy mode has turn based management, with RTS battles. If you want a game like that grand strategy mode without the RTS battles, that should work with a little work.

Probably would be better if you try Battle for Wesnoth or FreeCiv first.
