Follow-up Comment #3, bug #21640 (project freeciv):
After some tests, I suggest simply to remove this condition:
>|| dai_on_war_footing(ait, pplayer)
When at war, some extra money could help the AI to win some battle, but extra
science is more useful to win the war. I see no reason to stop all kind of
researching in this case.
My suggested code:
/* Put the remaining to tax or science. */
if (!adv_wants_science(pplayer)) {
rates[AI_RATE_TAX] = MIN(maxrate, rates[AI_RATE_TAX]
+ RATE_REMAINS(rates));
rates[AI_RATE_LUX] = MIN(maxrate, rates[AI_RATE_LUX]
+ RATE_REMAINS(rates));
rates[AI_RATE_SCI] = MIN(maxrate, rates[AI_RATE_SCI]
+ RATE_REMAINS(rates));
} else {
rates[AI_RATE_SCI] = MIN(maxrate, rates[AI_RATE_SCI]
+ RATE_REMAINS(rates));
rates[AI_RATE_TAX] = MIN(maxrate, rates[AI_RATE_TAX]
+ RATE_REMAINS(rates));
rates[AI_RATE_LUX] = MIN(maxrate, rates[AI_RATE_LUX]
+ RATE_REMAINS(rates));
This simple change makes the AI much more efficient in my opinion, no matter
if there are limited taxes or not.
I do not attach any patch, I let developers decide the best way to fix it, but
I find a game breaker the current code where luxuries are prioritized over
science.
(note there are some leftover log entries in previous post, sorry)
