Monte Carlo versus "The Math"

[Truename]

I thought I posted this before, I must be losing my mind... The soldier hit points are incorrect. Formula should be (level+1)*8 + Con. I think they are off by 2 for the level 4 soldier.

Oops, you're right. I wasn't adding in the +1/2 level bonus to constitution.

This is a good example of why the char sheets and example combats need review, even with all the tests I have in the sim. I actually did have a test covering the soldier's HP progression, and that test passes--but I got the rules wrong, which my tests can't catch.

Anyway, fixed.

PS: You're not losing your mind--there was another Soldier HP issue early on, but that was a different problem.

How 'bout doing a mix of opponent levels? Say, a level +3, then a level+0,level+2,level+0,level+1 schedule or something. If you've gotta make various opponents anyhow this shouldn't be a huge problem (right?).

The advantages are twofold: firstly, this better matches actuality, where various encounters are varyingly difficult. Secondly, if plays to the strengths of a sim; namely to be more robust by using a broader distribution of possibilites. After all, it's a reasonable result to determine that even levels represent a significant (if small) power boost, but it's not reasonable to have similarly hard edges for the opponents: real PC's encounter various levels too. This way you get some differing damage expressions and have fewer artificial discontinuities as levels rise.

I like the idea of smoothing out the discontinuities. Done. I used your suggestion of level+3, level+0, level+2, level+0, and level+1 opponents for now, but that's easy to change if we want. Here are the level-by-level results:

Level 1 Ragnarok vs. Soldier: 45.0% +/- 3.1% survival (5.8 rounds)
Level 2 Ragnarok vs. Soldier: 86.2% +/- 2.1% survival (7.8 rounds)
Level 3 Ragnarok vs. Soldier: 72.8% +/- 2.8% survival (9.7 rounds)

For comparison, here's the results from before, where Ragnarok faces a level+1 soldier in each fight:

Level 1 Ragnarok vs. Level 2 Soldier: 71.0% +/- 2.8% survival (5.5 rounds)
Level 2 Ragnarok vs. Level 3 Soldier: 97.6% +/- 0.9% survival (7.1 rounds)
Level 3 Ragnarok vs. Level 4 Soldier: 80.7% +/- 2.4% survival (8.6 rounds)

Ragnarok Level 4

Ragnarok's level 4 build is ready. The sim now has proper support for the idea of a "damage roll bonus"--before, it would add the bonus whenever any set of dice were rolled, which didn't mesh so well with crits. I've also put in the new +3 / +0 / +2 / +0 / +1 mix of challenge levels.

What was most interesting this time was how much of a difference the feat and magic item made. At level 3, the stat bump made all the difference--the new encounter power and magic item did bupkis. (This holds true with the new encounter mix as well.) At this level, on the other hand, the DWT feat and iron armbands both contributed substantially to survivability.

Overall survivability was up this time, as we expected, but not as dramatically as it was from level 1 to level 2. It will be interesting to see how these trends play out over the whole range of levels.

Level 3 (vs. Level 4 challenges): 17.6% +/- 2.4%
+Level 4 stats: 60.4% +/- 3.0%
+DWT & Craghammer: 70.9% +/- 2.8%
+Iron Armbands: 80.5% +/- 2.5%

Final result (10,000 runs): 78.5% +/- 0.8%

And here's the level-by-level results:

Level 1 Ragnarok vs. Soldier: 45.6% +/- 3.1% survival (5.8 rounds)
Level 2 Ragnarok vs. Soldier: 86.8% +/- 2.1% survival (7.7 rounds)
Level 3 Ragnarok vs. Soldier: 72.3% +/- 2.8% survival (9.7 rounds)
Level 4 Ragnarok vs. Soldier: 80.5% +/- 2.5% survival (8.0 rounds)

Here's the full run:

Magic Items at level... (lvl + 2 as you said)
16: Strongheart Tattoo (Paragon)
19: Boon: Raven Queen's Shroud (level 18)
30: Strongheart Tatto (Epic)

I was looking ahead at upcoming magic items when I realized that some of them don't come from the first year. I want to limit the selection for this first pass so we're evaluating the pre-Expertise math. Anybody care to suggest some replacements?

There may be other magic items that don't fit as well--this is just what jumped out at me.

Looking at the fights, I really think the Dwarf's AI needs to be improved. I'm not sure if it's better to list things to do, or things not to do.

1. If you plan to use an action point, open up the round with Distracting Spate.
2. When you are down to at-wills, if you have no temporary hit points, use Crushing Surge, do not use Brash Strike.
3. When you are down to at-wills, if you have temporary hit points, do not use Crushing Surge, use Brash Strike.

The last two seem like pretty straight forward implementations. The first one is probably a bit trickier, but I feel reflects reality the best. You can make rule #2 in effect only while bloodied if you like, and randomize otherwise. Rule #1 and #3 should always be in effect.

Looking at the fights, I really think the Dwarf's AI needs to be improved. I'm not sure if it's better to list things to do, or things not to do.

1. If you plan to use an action point, open up the round with Distracting Spate.

Since the daily power is villain's menace and at least one of the AI routines had Distracting Spate-action point-villain's menace, I think it would be very interesting to see a run of this showing whether it is better to use villain's menace to set up distracting spate or distracting spate to set up villain's menace. (I suspect it is better to use villain's menace to set up distracting spate since they do the same base damage on a hit and no damage on a miss--but using villain's menace first gives +2 or +4 damage to distracting spate rather than no damage bonus if the orders are reversed. Also, villain's menace gives a reduced bonus on a miss while distracting spate gives no bonus on a miss).

 

[Mengu]

Since the daily power is villain's menace

Where do you see Villain's Menace? The daily power is Knee Breaker.

If the daily power was Villain's Menace, then yes, opening up with that would be a good idea, but I still wouldn't action point after that. I'd wait till next turn to use Distracting Spate, and follow that with the action point.

My bad, I was just clicking through the character builder without really looking at source.

About the AI

Okay, about the AI, and why it's so stupid. Short version: Computers are stupid.

(Slightly longer version: ...and I'm not an AI programmer.)

Cheekiness aside, the big challenge here is creating an AI that doesn't have to be rewritten for every character and every level. Remember, our goal isn't to create a dwarf that fights intelligently; it's to create a dwarf that fights consistently across 30 levels. Consistently low performance is just as good as consistently high performance as long as all powers, magic items, and so forth get equal love.

In practice, though, that means that the 'bash it in the head' powers are used to their potential more easily than the 'set up a big combo' powers right now, so they may be weighted more favorably. So we do need some AI. But I want to remind you that we don't need great or even good AI. Just consistent AI.

What I have the ability to do, easily, right now, is this:

• Have powers be turned off (not chosen) until certain conditions are true. For example, Second Wind is set to :do_not_use until the dwarf has received at least a healing surge worth of damage.
• Have powers set to :low priority, which is the same as :do_not_use, except that the power isn't turned off entirely. :Low priority powers will be used if no :normal powers are available.
• Make decisions based on perfect information. For example, I can give Brute Strike :low priority if the enemy has fewer than 4 hit points remaining.
• Change the overall, non-power-specific rules about power selection. For example, I can have all dailies fire before encounters, or all standard actions before minor actions.

What I want to avoid is anything that increases maintenance costs. In particular, I don't want to have to reprogram the AI in order to test different builds, power combinations, or levels. This means avoiding:

• Complex logic with a lot of special case rules. ("If this power is active, but that one isn't, and the monster is such-and-such, don't use this power.") This is hard to test thoroughly and will lead to hard-to-find bugs. A few special cases are easy to test, and potentially okay (for example, I've programmed ":do_not_use Boundless Endurance if Second Wind is still available"), but I don't want to program in every combination of every power.
• Decisions based on assumptions about other powers being present. For example, we could :do_not_use Brash Strike when we don't have temp hit points. But what if we don't have any powers that grant temp hp in this build?
• Giving certain powers higher than normal priority. This will require constant tweaking as we change builds and levels. For example, giving Crushing Surge a hypothetical :high priority when the dwarf has no temp hit points might be appropriate now, but is it still appropriate at level 25? Is it appropriate for all fighters of any build?
• Power combos, such as "use power X, then action point, then power Y." Is that combo still appropriate at all levels? Does it apply to all builds?

The key here is keeping AI programming costs low. Remember, the quality of the AI isn't that important as long as the creatures fight consistently across levels. We're looking at how survivability changes from level to level, not the absolute number. So, how can we best achieve that goal given the above constraints? Creative solutions welcome.

Quick question about Ragnarok's 5th level Daily, Rain of Steel. It looks like the Iron Armbands don't apply to this power because it isn't a melee attack (it's 'Personal'). Any disagreement with this ruling?

For the AI on this power, I was thinking of marking all Stance powers as :do_not_use when another Stance power is active. Since starting a new Stance kills the old one, using two in one encounter seems like a waste of resources. A human might decide to do so in rare circumstances, but I don't think we can make the computer that smart, and I don't think we need to.

We can revise the rule if we start dealing with encounter Stances rather than dailies, but it seems appropriate for now. Any comments?
