How Do I Download Google Earth Pro To My Computer
Blythe Detlefs
I then proceeded to play a standard game up to the Middle ages and the computer followed me all the way, building units from prehistoric Stone Throwers to swordsmen, Pilum, Comp. Bowmen, etc.The only differences I noticed from the standard game were:1) the computer never built any temples (no priests/prophets)
2) the comp. only built one tower
3) the comp. never populated any settlements
4) the comp. never built any seige buildings/weapons except Sampsons
5) the comp. never upgraded any unit's attack/defense/speed modifiersI know veterans of EE probably knew this was true already, but I didn't see any post indicating the actual level of cheating done by the comp. It gets all resources for free and free age upgrades at roughly the same time as the human player.No wonder it's so damned hard to kill!!! Just have to play online if you want to test yourself against a real opponent. Such a shame game designers can't do better than this though.Even so I've been enjoying the game for a year or so.Cheers.[This message has been edited by chonaman (edited 02-25-2003 @ 03:35 PM).] AuthorReplies: Park

Also using "Ignore" in the AI Settings I believe makes the computer upgrade epochs without using the player's current epoch as a factor. There's also a cheat setting that determines whether or not the computer gets free resources.Personally a cheating hard computer is a lot more fun than a puny AI that dies easily. Sure a middle way would be best, but scripting a hard AI that doesn't cheat is pretty hard without adding some type of bonus for the computer.Grex, Imhotep, Jaded Knights, Punks, University, Glows, Facility, Trade Center, Stainless Steel Studios.

I agree, I loved AoE but the AI was really weak. AoK and TC were a little better.

I actually don't mind an AI that cheats as long as it mimicks what is possible for a good human player to do, but doesn't consistently do the impossible. e.g., A good human player might rush you within a few minutes of starting a game, but there would be some consequence to doing that. A human wouldn't be able to keep them coming as fast as the AI does on the Hard setting because some economy is sacrificed for the sake of a rush. I like to play tiny or small maps and within 4 minutes my base is swarming with squads of already upgrading units that come every two or three minutes. This type of production just isn't possible and takes the fun out of the game.And a human wouldn't be able to build 8 to 10 towers and a Prophet in the first five minutes of a game with Standard - Low resources.When a RTS game comes along that has real human AI feel to it, with truly more intelligent difficulty levels, it will become a HUGE hit. Not everyone likes playing online.Thanks for the comments.

If there was anything about the AI in EE that you would change, what would it be?
It can be one thing, or alot of things, just let it fly, Im just interested.Viktery PhantomPhreak

For those of you also addicted to wander.earth, what bike computers have you used that work best for using the downloaded maps to see where you have unridden roads? Also how large of an area can you download for those maps?
Most of the 17 elements classified as rare earths are not actually rare, but they are difficult and expensive to extract from the ground and separate from each other. Rare earth elements are essential to many emerging technologies, including those that support a clean energy future. They include neodymium, praseodymium and dysprosium, which are components of energy-efficient permanent magnets used in wind turbines and electric vehicles, among other products; and gadolinium, which you might recognize as the contrast agent you take before an MRI. The U.S. government classifies these elements as critical materials in part based on their importance in manufacturing products that support national security.
The results of the study highlighted which rare earth elements may be particularly vulnerable to disruptions. The largest price increases in response to disruptions occurred for dysprosium oxide, which is used in permanent magnets, specialty alloys and other applications. Didymium oxide, which is a mixture of neodymium and praseodymium, was also found to be prone to price surges.
The GCMat team is now working on changes to the model that will help align it with U.S. goals to lower greenhouse gas emissions. They are enhancing representations of rare earth magnet markets for energy-efficient motors, including those used in wind turbines and electric vehicles. And new agent-based models of the lithium-ion battery supply chain will assess how shortages of global materials might affect the adoption of battery technologies important to electric vehicle markets.
The researchers also plan to use GCMat to evaluate the effectiveness of strategies such as recycling, conservation and diversification of supplies for reducing the severity of disruptions in rare earth markets.
"Rare-earth elements (REEs) are used as components in high technology devices, including smart phones, digital cameras, computer hard disks, fluorescent and light-emitting-diode (LED) lights, flat screen televisions, computer monitors, and electronic displays. Large quantities of some REEs are used in clean energy and defense technologies."

A global climate model typically contains enough computer code to fill 18,000 pages of printed text; it will have taken hundreds of scientists many years to build and improve; and it can require a supercomputer the size of a tennis court to run.
There are now many other programming languages available to climate scientists, such as C, Python, R, Matlab and IDL. However, the last four of these are applications that are themselves written in a more fundamental language (such as Fortran) and, therefore, are relatively slow to run. Fortran and C are generally used today for running a global model quickly on a supercomputer.
Over the past few years, Martin Howse has been investigating the possibility to build a computational device that would not only be constructed solely from the earth but would also be embedded within the earth as a critical monument to human technology.
For example, the hanging sealed earth container references the potential recoding of electrochemical earth elements using a primitive solar cell constructed between copper, copper oxide plates and forest earth.
The last, most complex earth computer demonstrates several parts of the earth computing system; a display based on early telegraphy technology, the mirror galvanometer, transduces and makes visible signals from the earth using a moving mirror, fixed coil and small laser light beam. This is the interface to the earth computer. Forest earth in this container is also seeded with oyster mushroom mycelium and doped with silver nitrate, attempting to form over time a processor for the earth computer.
