Re: Curious about Dominions? how the AI thinks? which AI is best/worst?
Are you using --superhost with it? That creates a superstats file which will tell you which type of AI is being used. 1=standard, 2=defensive, 3=aggressive. That might affect the research (I dont remember). There are also other randoms involved. It would also affect how often the armies march out.
I do remember some discussions about it. But it was hard to come up with an agreement. Its like everything else about the AI. If its generic then ok. But if it breaks down too much into IF's (if this nation, if early game, if losing provinces) then it could not be easily worked into this version of the game.
In general, we wanted it to have a purpose. But not so specific that it could be guessed and counted on by the players. Its easiest to make things random, and then tighten the randoms abit.
