Mixed suggestions/fixes

[Sloth]

Here are some things I found, that might be added:

1. Irini Sengir shouldn't raise the cost of green white enchantments by 4 (obviously, that would make her super broken)
Fix:

Code: Select all

Irini Sengir
2 B B
Legendary Creature Vampire Dwarf
White enchantment spells and green enchantment spells cost 2 more to cast.
2/2
CostChange:All:More:2:Spell:white/green:Enchantment:OnlyOneBonus


2. I found some cards from Rise of the Eldrazi that can be easily added because similar cards exist: cards.txt:

Code: Select all

Vampire Aristocrat
2 B
Creature Vampire Rogue
no text
2/2

Bloodthrone Vampire
1 B
Creature Vampire
no text
1/1

Pestilence Demon
5 B B B
Creature Demon

7/6

I added Vampire Aristocrat and Bloodthrone Vampire.

I got Pestilence Demon working, but the AI keeps expending black mana until it kills it's own Pestilence Demon. I tried a couple of things in the AI but was not able to figure out how to solve this problem.

You can look at the canPlayAI() code for Pestilence. The AI is pretty good with it but not perfect.

I copied the Pestilence code and pasted it into CardFactory_Creatures and renamed the if statement. So, it uses the Pestilence code. I should test Pestilence, the AI code for Pestilence may do the same thing.

Oh well then. Trying to write the AI code for Pestlence is very hard. Sometimes the computer has really killed me with that card.

Change the last line to something like this:

Code: Select all

return AllZone.Computer_Life.getLife() > 2 && !(human.size() == 0 && 0 < computer.size()) &&
          card.getKillDamage() > 1;


Maybe even change it to card.getKillDamage() > 2, to add some extra safety.

If that still doesn't work (the AI might just spend all his black mana right away and not wait for the ability to resolve), add this at the top of canPlayAI()

Code: Select all

SpellAbility sa;
for (int i=0; i<AllZone.Stack.size(); i++)
{
            sa = AllZone.Stack.peek(i);
            if (sa.getSourceCard().equals(card))
                 return false;
}

OK, I now see what I did wrong. I went back and replaced my dysfunctional AI code with your version and success. Thank you Dennis.

I merged the now working Pestilence Demon into the SVN.
