Re: AI Questions
AI Item strat: Give them bane venom charms. Last time I checked they randomly distributed them amongst their mages and other non stealthy commanders. I have seen them give random melee/ranged weapons to old frail mages, boots of strength to giant leaders - pretty sure I've even seen path booster items like skull staff on guys with no death magic. Don't know if that's because they just picked them up after the AI suicided its mages somewhere, but it's still stupid.
Regarding AI nations: The main people who have expressed interest in AI nations are Wikd and Gandalf. I haven't seen either of them do anything about it. Even if you could consider my criticism of the supposedly good AI 'complaining', the reason I haven't made lots of AI nations is that there isn't any fun playing against the kind of nation the AI would be good with - ie unlimited gems, unlimited gold, troops that don't need to eat, all troops having glamour etc. It would be like playing chess against an idiot and compensating by swapping all their pieces for queens. Zero fun. In order to be more interesting for SP, the AI needs not so much to be /harder/ (this is easy, just stale for 25 turns after starting the game) but /smarter/.
Btw, I made an AI mictlan after Gandalf started a thread talking about how the nations could be improved for AI. No-one had any interest in it.
If you want AI nations make them. From a technical standpoint it's easy.
