Implementation of Cultural Center-like facilties for HW requires using dummy abilities or AI Tags.
Yeah, I wanted to make some sort of change to these anyway so that they don't display with the regular facilites. What will be easiest to impliment for AI? Would it be better to have AI tags on the normal facilities, or on the Homeworld facilites?
Give AI tags to common resource extraction and research facilities. It will require 4 AI tags. Then you can use Resource Generation - Min/Org/Rad ability for Homeworld facilities and AI Tags for common facilities in AI_Construction_Facilities.

Also, DN4 introduces different from vanilla game scheme for cloaking and sensors. But AI is completely unaware how to use it. It only uses Sensor Level and Cloak Level abilities and it doesn't care if they are Temporal, Psychic or whatever. If you leave it as is, it will lead to cheezy AI exploits: developed AI will stick with Gravitic Sensors, and if player will use Temporal Cloaking he will be invisible to AI. *Always*
Right?
