If the game includes AI scripting, having user-defined variables and arrays could allow someone (Not me! Eep!) to create a learning AI.

Since some of the game apparently reads the files each time (not just when the game is created) then it would be possible to program a changing AI. What would help would be exported data. Dominions has a switch which outputs a scoreboard.html file but it doesnt allow midgame changes since that game doesnt re-read text files. Too bad to because the -prepost and -postexe switches allow running a 3rd party program before or after each hosting which is great for backing up or notifying players. It would be sweet for an AI rewrite.
If SEV would output information then it might be possible to have the AI "decide" to alter its tactics?
