Is anybody planning to build this for Civilization? I'd like to see AI agents battle to build resources and to fight.

I'd love to see it!

The key "Aha!" moment was when I was trying to get it to play the SNES ROM and it was struggling with screenshots/inputs. Then I came across the open-source of the original SimCity engine (Micropolis) and pulled that repo down and Claude starting building an internal API to interface with it.

On one hand yes, but on the other hand, would it be that different to watching an FFA with the in-game AIs?

If they can read a strategy and implement it, still impressive.

i mean, not really. the civ 5/6 bots can play pretty decent strategy and that’s without “AI,” and most strategies are pretty formulaic

		Sure. Games have had AI's before. But to read someone else's strategy from just a document, and then implement it, that is new. The old civ did not do that, each AI just had pre-programmed rules.
