Phoenix, I like that. And a player that loses his AI would probably get ganged up on by the other players cause they all know he'd be trying to steal one of their AI's.
The only thing is, what happens if you get 2 or three humans without AI's. Then they are fighting over the AI's that are left, and the whole thing ends up being a regular Last man standing game. Hmmmm. Need to think about this some more. It does have potential though.
