AI is very weak in Build widelands_1.1~bzr10211-202203232002. Does not build Lumberjack/Woodcutter or Quarry, at least not before materials run out on time. Checked in different maps.

this was due to a bug in postloading, which ahs been fixed today in master (I just checked it is working correctly there).

(the same bug that caused geologists not to find anything)

Do you think postloading is fixed for good now? I didn't have time to test it while I was working on my hotspot-fixing program, so I didn't even try updating my local master while the first PR was open. I also didn't want to update the beta flatpak, so an update is way overdue.

Well at least it has no more obvious bugs (i.e. geologists work, only tribes used are loaded, Ai works as expected, help is like it should be) so it seems the load order is correct and complete now.

Still AI is weak (1.1~bzr10224-202203280331~ubuntu20.04.1) does not build Quarry and starts building Lumberjack/Woodcutter when materials have already run out

which map did you play?
which start condition?

How do I create a replay? I can provide a saved game. Map was Castle of Warren - Both Players Barbarians, Headquarters, Autocrat

there is a folder replays in the same folder where the folder savegames is located. Inside the replays folder you will find a file with the file extension .wgf and one matching with the extension .wgf.wrpl we need both files to replay a match.

Some add-ons disable creating of replays. Please check that.

But i have also the feeling that the AI was stronger some time ago. Maybe because i got stronger in playing face-grin.png No, AI takes very very long to train soldiers. Often, (nearly always) they have none soldier trained when i met them. But i didn't watched the replays or investigated this.
