That sounds rather promising. Having followed the wish lists it seems that the better AI is the most anticipated feature in Dom 3. I just lost my temper with Rome Total War and that stupid AI, which just sat his troops down while my scorpions (a type of ballistae {declension?}) were killing them at a steady rate. Of course, I could just not use scorpions, but I wish enemy couldn't use them either, because they jam the AI on sieges. Gee, I got a little sidetracked to OT.
It will serve as an example of an situation, where a bad AI can cause severe headache.
