Re: Indep grimoire slightly improved
From the look of the game logs it appears that the list doesnt have any "no use" but it does use a weighted system with just a touch of random thrown in. It might be possible to examine a game log and make suggestions on changing the order that choices are made.
The problem would appear to be that there isnt any "if I am Ermor" or "if I am undead" type of thinking involved. So any suggestion would need to be balanced between its worth in removing it from a bad-use situation while also removing from all other nations use.
Just a small part of the thinking for one mage looks like this in the logs.....
com Aziakos cast spell (favspell Swarm) (mayusegems 1)

castspell: cnr765 spl365 (Swarm) vis2 x18 y10 spldmg591
Get an order for 5543 Dragonfly, ord 0
Closest enemy (for unr 5543)
The AI code was all added into the game late. Its pretty linear and generic to all nations and conditions. Any suggestions would probably have to be also unless the AI code got a massive rewrite from scratch.
