Imperator Fyron, it looks like I'm not going to be able to get Atraikius permission to post his AI_DesignCreation_CheatSheet on your website. I e-mailed him three days ago and didn't get an answer. I also did a search on his name and he hasn't posted since June of 2003.
Litcube, I ran into this post entitled "My AI Design Q&A" looking for Atraikius.

I don't have the time right now to read through every post but I notice a lot of AI Modding subjects including AI states. Maybe something here will interest you.
On another note, I have a question. Why do we have a Max Size Tonnage in the AI_Settings.txt for up to three turns? I was playing with the VehicleSize.txt ship and base tonnage sizes (Increasing them) and noticing that the AI was not creating all of it's ships and bases after turn 1. It took a while to notice the problem because I thought I did something wrong in the component.txt.
