A utility for running repeated iterations of civ 5 games
Install python3+ (tested with 3.9), and the following packages:
pywinauto
pandas
numpy
VP is ran with a modpack so that the Civ 5 CLI automation can be used to enter a game directly without having to automate going through menus.
The autoplay mod included in the base of this repo (./autoplay) MUST be included in the modpack used for automation. Game options may be first configured in autoplay (v 1)/game_options.sql if desired.
Instructions for creating a modpack can be found at https://civ-5-cbp.fandom.com/wiki/Creating_a_Modpack . After creation, the modpack folder should be placed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\Assets\DLC (or your DLC location)
