Default Re: Can we help the devs?

Putting it in is one thing. Putting it in so it cant be abused is another. For a PbEM game (which this primarily is) you would have to send such code to the host. That would make me nervous.

And back to the original question...
the devs have shown interest in a number of things. You can search for Kristoffer and JohanK to see.

I remember they were interested in people who are actually willing to TEST the things they kept saying about the AI's. A number of plans were developed for how the AI should decide to build castles or decide to build troops. I think one person finally decided to try and prove the troop building (play a nation as though an AI doing only the decisions in the formula) but Im not sure how far they got
