Topic: New experimental tribe: Europeans

The workers are now all adjusted and are upgraded by experience points.

16 from basic to normal
24 from normal to advanced

I revised the economy of the Europeans. I removed the bakery and the smokery and replaced them with a tavern/inn. The tavern produces rations and snacks, the inn produces meals from flour, water, fish and meat.

The smoked fish, smoked meat and european bread are omitted as wares. Since the Europeans already have more building types and larger space requirements than the other tribes, this change makes sense to me. The mill is preserved, even without bakery.

The European economy is very sluggish. It takes a long time until it starts up and you need a relatively large number of initial wares. However, the productivity is clearly superior to the other tribe. Once all building types exist and there are enough primary wares such as logs, ore, corn and water, many soldiers can be fully trained in a relatively short time.

I've introduced a new feature for the European tribe. The time-dependent and more important ware-dependent activation of buildings. I've incorporated and tested it in the "Headquarters" starting condition and it works pretty well.
There is the AI hint "prohibited_till =", but in rare cases the AI ignores it or the effect is to small. Because its time-dependent but ignores the actual economical status. This leads to buildings being build or upgraded where it is not necessary, which means that building materials for other essential buildings are lacking and, in extreme cases, the entire economy can hang up.
Through the Lua script, I can tell that a certain building like charcoal will only be unlocked when there is enough log and at the same time there is a need for coal.
So you can control the economy of the AI very precisely. Better than the AI hints.

The problem is, that the AI is completely drowning and everytime loses the game. The AI consumes the wares in an almost uncontrolled manner and upgrades its building at random, which means that there is a very strong shortage of building materials at the beginning. In addition, it takes at least 6-8 hours of play until the AI has the necessary structures and wares to train its soldiers. That's why, compared to the other tribes, I start with huge amounts of building materials. However, a human player can be totally superior due to the large amount of starting wares required for the AI.
