Congrats guys! Can’t wait to watch the match.

P.S. Arrigo is THE top player on BGA

I’m the best player

We will be back on Sunday, February 25 for another match: jjthejetplane246 vs. ZeusAI!
The live stream will also feature two special guests in the role of commentators: Arrigo II and Scops. Make sure to watch!

Awesome!! Really looking forward to this

Also a great choice for the commentators!

Amazing project and effort you put into the father of all God's!

I've just started to play and love this game and very much enjoyed watching the first battle.

Terrific idea to have two great players as commentators for the second one. Can't wait for more to come

Cheers and good luck

Saw a fun bug - in the second game, Zeus thought it has a ~5% science win chance, when it was 0% ^^

Edit: since you guys mentioned that the AI didnt know (all) the effects of the wonders, it might assume another science symbol on them

You never know what science symbols might be out there...

More seriously, it turns out that the issue you reported was partly due to a visualization bug, and the actual predicted probability of scientific win was lower. Nevertheless, ZeusAI does predict (small) positive numbers even when the true probability is 0%.

BTW, thanks everyone for watching!

I'm very glad to see a decent AI here

I think if 7WD engine once gets to the level where chess engines are, the best players will still have around 45% winrate against it as 7WD is trivial to play optimally.
In chess it is 0% btw

Great job to the devs team. Greetings to Arrigo, used to play some nice games once upon a time

where can I find the training mode?
