Well shill is one thing I do well.
But you are probably correct that its not possible to mod a worthwhile AI. Even if we could mod the AI I dont think thats possible. Its not even possible to program a worthwhile AI. Especially not for this game.
But since there are people who play the AI, and there are known features about the AI, then it should be possible to mod a better AI than the random that most people are playing against now. It is likely though that like other projects it wont happen without a shill effort first.
