Default Re: dom 3 wish: mod AI

Zooko, your idea would have several problems:

* it would be very easy for the AI programs to "break" the game, unless some very strict control was exercised by the game engine interpreter. Bad programming on the player's part could result in the game hanging, or crashing, or whatever. MP would become a nightmare...

* even if done in a foolproof/attackproof way, it would turn the game into a programming contest. There are already "games" that are actually programming contests, but I don't want Dominions to turn into one of them.
