If a genie handed me a magic lamp and said I could have the most impossible thing in the world for my favorite game, I would ask for:

Wouldn't it be cool if SE4 had an API so you could write your own AI?

I'm not talking about editing the files like we can do now. No, I'm talking about a complete interface for a computer program to everything that you can see or do as a human player.

I would want to write a program that could query the game for the positions of all my forces/planets and all the other empires forces/plants. Then, my program could make its own calculations and decide where to move stuff.

It will never happen. But I can dream, can't I?
