what exactly is this "AI deathmatch"?

[Silent Sorrow]

I often hear you all talking about it but I don't understand what it is. I started to read one of those super-long threads about it but really couldn't even understand the first post. Was it telling me how to set one up? Explaining rules so I could play against a certain AI? Telling me how to create a particular AI race to play against? Couldn't tell.

So, could someone please fill me in--precis format will ddo--on what that whole thing is about?

It was an AI tournament run by Master Belisarius. See thread below:

Basically, Master Belsarius (sp?) gets a bunch of AI's for SEIV that different people have made, and pits them up against each other in a tournament; the Last one standing is the toughest overall AI. It helps to discover bugs in the way the AI works, as well as making an answer to "Which AI is the best?"

I still have some shipsets without AI's, and wouldn't mind having a tweaked or super AI for that race.
