Default Re: What do you want in an AI?
How about a personality that is 'helpful'. One that will actually stick to its alliances and come to its allies defense. It would be nice to see the message "Stop your attacks on the ______ Empire, or you shall consider us enemies as well." Or some such message, and they would go to war to defend their allies.

I don't know if this is currently 'do-able', When I create AI's I just use the 'templates' that come with the game for politics/anger/etc, if I want a honorable/serene race I use the Phong, etc.

That and how about an AI that uses Stellar Manipulation, like planet creators. Could be a 'beneficial' race like Trek's 'Preservers'.
