    Default Re: Investigation of AI reassessment upon reload

    I labeled each of my save games before "End Turn" as "1st Turn", "2nd Turn", etc...all the way to the 20th turn. I was quite surprised when I looked back and saw this because I had no idea how useful it would become a few weeks later for these tests.

    I had just reinstalled RTW and installed Patch 1.2 for the first time. (I had been playing a different game for a couple of months.) I played as the plain-vanilla Julii (again) since all the factions were locked and I decided to unlock them with gameplay rather than by modifying the text file, as before. Assuming that I did not accidently skip a turn, I started the tests just before hitting "End Year" of the 19th turn. At any rate, it was the Winter of 261 B.C.

    At the end of the turn in Winter 261 B.C., despite frequent saves and loads, here was the political climate:

    1.) The Seleucids and Egypt were at war, Egypt gaining a territory on turn 14 and losing a territory on turn 18; the Seleucids gained a territory on turn 18.
    2.) Parthia and I (Julii) both gained a territory on turn 2.
    3.) The Brutii gained a territory on turn 4 and another on turn 14.
    4.) Pontus gained a territory on turn 14 and another on turn 16.
    5.) The Greek Cities were at war with Macedon and Pontus.
    6.) Egypt and the Seleucids were at war.
    7.) Brittainia and Germania were at war.
    8.) Scythia and Parthia were at war.

    Alliances:

    1.) Scythia was allied with Armenia and the Seleucids.
    2.) Carthage and Spain were allies.
    3.) Parthia and Thrace were allies.
    4.) As the Julii, I was allied with Carthage, Macedonia, Gaul, Germania, Dacia, the Greek Cities, Numidia, Scythia, Spain and Thrace. I believe I initiated all of those alliances with the possible exception of Gaul.

    On the following turn, I began an invasion of Gaul and we declared war, which is why I chose this turn to start testing stagnation; up to this point my only military conflict had been with Segesta and random rebel stacks.

    I think I will go back a little further toward the point of greatest extrema -- say, turn 12 since most territorial acquisitions began around turn 14 -- and see if the byproduct of a stagnant AI is more pronounced. At that point only Parthia, the Brutii, and myself had gained a territory.
