2 Gandalf Parker:
I've recently sent a suggestion of my participating in AI development for Kristoffer and Johan on e-mail (including prototype SK-equipping algorithm, also it doesn't work quickly) but didn't receive an answer yet.
Perhaps I'll put here one of my suggestions right now: is it possible to make a description of all savedgames files (ftherlnd, .trn, .2h) publickly available? This would allow any part of community to develop AI as they like. To use alternative AI anyone should just make a multiplayer game and then make 2h files with alrenative AI programs.
I believe its unlikely that the formats of savedgame files contain very valuable technologies.

P.S. "But Im one of those people that doesnt think the MP outnumbers the Soloers." - I completly agree. The described drawbacks are too heavy. So, the good AI is needed for SP. I don't mind if anyone would use a quick "meat-throwing" AI, I just think that large amount of regular community would like a more sofistickated, even if it would mean a much slower, algorithm to exist. As I understand, dominions take only one core of processor. So, its easy to press alt-tab and do something else while AI thinks.
