Casual Civ AI

Casual Civ is a casual 4X turn-based strategy game — hex grid, resources, settlements, roads, buildings, units, simplified combat. I wrote the AI opponent.

Each turn the controller assembles a world-state snapshot, scores strategy and threat against it, and routes through a quest director to pick what to do: expand, gather, move, or attack. Battles drop into a separate behavior tree.

The part I'd defend in an interview is the evaluation logging — the controller writes CSV telemetry per turn, so its decisions can be inspected after the fact instead of argued about.

• Built world-state reads over board, settlement, army, resource, and distance data.
• Implemented strategy, threat, and hostility scoring to rank candidate actions.
• Wrote a quest-director flow selecting priority quests per turn.
• Added a separate behavior-tree battle AI and CSV evaluation telemetry.
