Default Re: Curious about Dominions? how the AI thinks? which AI is best/worst?

As much as I like providing game logs for people to look at who otherwise would never see one, Im afraid that I will have to kill that part of this project.

Last night this latest test created a log 29 gigs large and was still trying to continue. It got in the way of other things on the system (the people in the online worlds are VERY unhappy at lost saves).

Again I will mention for people to be careful with using the debug switch. This was on a medium sized game and the lowest setting (-d) that this happened.

I will look into having the game logs write to the backup drive since that filling up would not cause the same problems. I can do a check on the size before copying it to the view directory and just write a tiny game.log that says "File Too Big" if its too big to move to the active drive. Then at least people can view the logs for most of the testings. But it might take abit to iron that out and get it into place.
