Default Re: AI FAQ?

There is not much to tell about the AI. The best way to get an FAQ is to ask question about specific AI things.

SJ pointed out some AI issues for the General Txt file. That the AI will stop adding traits when it hits zero points. This mean all of the zero or negative racial points need to be added in a specific way in order to ensure that they are all used by the AI.

The AI choose to design by either the order or size of an entry in the Design Creation file. What that is exactly I do not know. (There is a current cheat sheet for this)

Research - The AI needs to have Not Connected entries or else it will not research correctly. There are several rules of thought about what to set the defualt Tech Area Min Percent to. Some like 34 while others like 25 or even 50. I like 34. (Note there is a reason not to use 33 but I don't know it.)

There are a couple of basic AI understanding tutorials on SE.net.
