Re: Addendi
A strategic AI suggestion:
The AI does not seem to make items very well. It will construct things, but these are often squandered. (I have seen the AI stick a Blood Collar on a prophet and other useless ideas.)
If this cannot be fixed by giving concrete plans for an AI to follow (a long, but perhaps worthwhile project), perhaps the following could be done:
- For all nations except Ulm, do not allow the AI to research Construction above 3 (for legions of steel, which the AI likes).
- For all nations except Ulm, do not let the AI forge any items which do not increase the spell-casting effectiveness of the units or which are not armor.
- All weapons can only be equipped by commanders with no magic skills. (I know this is silly, but I think developing a really great algorithm is beyond me.) This would avoid wasting resources on mages who will only cast anyhow.
This would force the AI to spend more time researching other paths.
