Well I know that I have asked for such a list so that the modders and mappers could improve things. But it would tend to be a very different list.

For KO/JK the AI is linear in one section of code. It tends to operate in general rules without alot of "if" code. So it would be something like purchase infantry before cavalry instead of specifying IF Ulm then purchase specific unit before other specific unit. Or consider xxxxxx spell better than xxxxxx spell but not IF pythium or lines like not to cast xxxx spell on xxxxxx specific unit.

But for modding and mapping purposes the specific failures of specific nations can be addressed. Such as the fact that Mictlan tends to kill itself off early in solo games by not providing for its own dominion can be fixed by setting specific pretenders and specific scales.
Assuming the code tolerates it I would think allowing modders to raise/lower the priority given various things should help with AI tweaking.
