Scorecard:
Top 10
8 Techers, 1 Indy, 1 casher.
Ranks 11-20
6 more techers, 2 cashers, 1 indy, 1 farmer
Conclusion:
The techer bot change didn't create a free win for the cashers. It did however make the techer bots able to afford military which meant the game had no 0 def(well like 50 troops) bot countries on the last days. Overall I think the change is very good.
As a side note the tech prices are still skewed. Techer bots only respond to demand increases if the price changes drastically and only when the tech prices are well above $2000. Further, they tech too much warfare, SDI, Spy, medical and MStrat, and they don't respond naturally to the high demand techs and when the demand changes, i e when players start getting Military tech in the final day. Tweaking the weighing function for what the bots tech would be interesting.
