about weights of AI parameters... The best AI so far, in commercial games, are were there weights are externalized in text files, so that the most zealout of the fans can tweak and propose alternative solutions. As IW is a very small company, it would benefits even more from that process.
I remember the example of some Age of Kings (AoE II) or Kohan fans made AI which were able to routinely beat developpers made AI at 1 against 2. Its just because fans can put far more hours in a specific topic than the devs. I know of some fans, for the Hearts of Iron game (Paradox big simulation of WW 2) who spent more than 1000 hours, just on AI. (SuperAi pack 1.3 is far more superior than the Paradox vanilla AI eg).
