"How's the AI difficulty level?"

Would it be possible to throw at least one really tough f3kker in there. Or otherwise is it possible to make them adaptive to, say, the ELO-level of their opponent?

Otherwise it's fantastic. The arena has been well-populated all (Euro) afternoon. I even saw an old Furball lake player show up. Very good development for Euro-Timezone players.

By well-populated I mean the activity possibility brings in a human player, which brings in other human players and then we've got 4-6 human players in there. Bingo.

Zack's just bitter because after Brexit the only pie he'll be eating is Woolton Pie under the new ration scheme in the mid-Atlantic 1950s theme park version of the UK.   

When the Chinese and India are fully brought online in 20 years time and are making BMWs and Mercs for $4000 i would not want to be bordering Germany

The definition of irony: a country wanting to leave a collective union apparently motivated entirely on fiercely nationalistic grounds and a fundamental fear of foreigners, actually buys 156% more German cars than the entire US market. More German cars are exported to the UK than anywhere else 

Meanwhile a quick review of the UK car industry:

Land Rover - owned by TATA, India.
Jaguar - owned by TATA, India.
Mini - owned by BMW, Germany.
Rolls-Royce - owned by BMW, Germany.
Bentley - owned by Volkswagen, Germany.
MG - owned by SAIC, China.
Aston Martin - owned by Ford, USA, Investment Dar, Kuwait, Invest Industrial, Italy.
Vauxhall - owned by General Motors, USA
Lotus - owned by Proton, Malaysia
And finally...

The Morgan Motor Company - the only noteworthy car company still UK owned by the same family since it was founded in 1910. Still making wooden-framed cars with 176 employees and soon to be the only car available to UK residents with a waiting list of 567 years (because they use German engines) 


Slightly of topic, maybe, but the title did say free-for-all

Noble?

[nrshida]

Volvo / Yamaha engines <shrug>. Zack can't drive a Noble. 50cc is his performance limit

Back on topic though the MPA's free-for-all area is now so popular that it's killed the duelling queue. Just cannot get a damn duel

Not  a single German car is made is made in the UK. (British people dont pay their bills making German cars)

EDF - French government owned electricity company owns nearly all of the UK electricty companys,  WHY to subsidise the French economy of working 4 hours a day and getting paid for 8 hours.

Leaving a Collective union? Fear for foreigners what the hell are you talking about?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Who do you think the Germans care about? The English, No German people.

The EU has poor intentions that will decline western civilization back to the dark ages. And they are trying!
While the UK may need foreign products, they should not be controlled by Brussels and a EU army. Albeit UK nationalist manufacturing/Computer/coading should increase in order to benefit the working zone economy. The world cannot depend on cheap labor/materials from China and SE Asia anymore as their countries devalue from lack of real work. The world cannot depend on cheap migrants fleeing africa and not helping their own countries. Europe is too diverse for a one state government ruled by a round table at Brussels. They cannot live on high taxes causing rampant inflation any longer. France has already had it. Italy has had it. Poland has had it.  Greece  has  had  it. It's time for countries to depend on theirselves again thru fair market trade.



As far as the MPA discussion goes. The next step should be to allow players to choose who they want to fight in the duel. And allow them to pick teams in the 2v2 ect option. This would greatly help everyone.

Exactly more German cars are bought in the UK than the US.

Because a goodly percentage of British people keep buying them. On credit

EDF - French government owned electricity company owns nearly all of the UK electricty companys 

Yes. The French took an intelligent and pragmatic mid-term view of nuclear fission. Holland buys 84% of its electricity from Belgium. There's two reactors that only power Holland. Meanwhile Dutch people think it's the offshore windmills which load up their Teslas, and that they are nuclear-free    Norway is now arguably more influential than the American government. You should look into why 

The EU has poor intentions that will decline western civilization back to the dark ages...

What a fantastically nebulous argument brah!  Actually I was trying to confine my political machinations to irritate Zack for old times-sake. I'm sure this sort of discussion is very naughty and we'll all be PNGed in the morning like so many that have gone before us!

I'll merely forward the proposition that in the broadest terms the divisions between citizens of this nation or that are utterly insignificant compared to the divisions of classes of people within the containers of said nations. Brexit is a fascinating example as you're about to witness the British political class punish their own people (who they claim to represent) for democratically defying their wishes and desires. Going to be messy for Zack



Back on topic - I think the MPA is now as unrepresentative an arena as the DA used to be, even though there's a parallel in actual fighting. HiTech is unlikely to open a suggestion box or listen to us nutters about arena disposition I suggest. Divisions brah, divisions!

Off topic:

IMO if it can be programmed, randomly the AI planes have varying skill levels AND various aggression levels.  Over aggression would cause more collisions, conservative AI ace levels much less chance of collision.  Also various levels of TnB vs BnZ AI pilots skill levels.


Back on topic:

Zack should be crowned King and buyback Rolls Royce.
