A brand new 2 player version of the much-improved Puerto Rico Evolver spreadsheet. The 3-5 player version was originally by Tony Mitton, and main areas of improvement include:
1) Massive speed improvement (around 25-30 times faster!)
2) New evolutionary options, including ability to block a boat with a monopolised good
3) Bug fixes
This AI has been converted line-to-line in to Java and is included as the CPU Hard player in Tropic Euro (

Please see the dedicated page on the Tropic Euro website for the latest version and also for spreadsheets which contain the best players generated so far, including the ones currently active in Tropic Euro:
