Matthew said: You're aware they fixed the AI, right? He will now make match-5s all day long, and he even sets himself up for cascades. Did you figure those factors into your analysis?
Coilbox said: A more intelligent AI is great, a Greg able to match 5 gems is great, a more tactical oponent in combat that reassembles his cards in hand deppending on the situation is great. We all want that and we always complained about the sillyness of the AI. But giving him the favor of the table, cascades and all the odds to match his colors and get the best mana in order to make him win... That is FRUSTRATING, very cheap and just irritating.Thats it. My rant is off. Im sorry about it.Edit: just correcting some typos.

I'm not the most strategic or smartest person when it comes to matches on the board. I can maybe identify that matching one set of three will also match another three when they fall, but that's about as far as my brain can process. The AI is now superior when it comes to identifying matches. It cascades far more frequently, and its cascades more often lead to a match-5 giving it an extra swap.On one hand, I appreciate the challenge to step up my own skills, but on the other, sometimes you just want to relax and enjoy it, and the more powerful AI isn't really conducive to that.

octal9 said: I'll repeat it until I'm blue in the face but I'd really prefer to not have to repeat it that long:The AI doesn't know which gems are coming in. And the myth that it generates more cascades than the player during gem generation is exactly that - a myth. And here's why:This is an analysis of mtgpq's client side RNG algorithm. As near as I can tell, it's a mersenne twister. This analysis contains 262144 (512²) samplings:
