Dear Admirals,
a new dispatch from the Admiralty has arrived! We’ve been quiet for six weeks, and we owe you an apology. But don’t worry: We haven’t fallen overboard or sailed away with the treasure chest. We’ve been hunting something special: better performance! The game systems are in place, the content is on board, and Gold Admiral is running. But one thing wasn’t where we wanted it to be: Waiting several seconds for the AI to complete its turns simply wasn’t fast enough. Our deck scrubbers – occasionally referred to as “testers” – agreed. They wanted to play, not wait. And we wanted to know: Why was the AI taking that long in the first place?
From Seconds to Milliseconds
So we headed deep into the engine room, explored the darkest corners of our code, and hunted down the hidden bottlenecks. After six weeks of hard work, we can finally say: We’ve recovered the performance treasure! AI calculations that previously took seconds now run in milliseconds. Overall, we’ve made the AI more than 500% faster – while preserving the same decisions and calculations. No stripped-down capabilities. No simplified decisions. The AI isn’t thinking less – it’s getting down to business much faster. It can use every game system available to you as a human player. So just because it finishes sooner doesn’t mean it’s going to make your life any easier!
Full Speed Ahead – Without a High-End Engine Room
A more powerful CPU can speed up AI calculations even further. But we didn’t want better performance to be reserved for admirals with powerful PCs. Helping less powerful systems pick up speed was just as important to us. That’s why we didn’t simply demand more processing power. We went looking for the underlying causes. Less waiting. More decisions. More Gold Admiral.
“Wait … Did the AI Actually Do Anything?”
That’s a question our deck scrubbers genuinely asked when the AI sometimes finished its work before they even noticed. The Admiralty’s answer: Yes. It did. And how! It’s clever, cunning, and ruthless – just as a proper pirate should be. So don’t mistake its shorter processing times for inactivity. While you’re still wondering whether it’s finished, it has already made its move. Get ready for exciting battles against AI opponents that won’t let you off easy. The waits are getting shorter.
The seas are still dangerous!
Yours,
Gold Admiral
