AI concept of the '80ies ... why?

In any case, Total Annihilations had a very interesting AI MOD model. It was a text file of units and weights, different for each race, and different for different types of maps, and completely changeable by the player.

It's a long step from a fully customizable AI, but could still mean great improvements for dominions.

Semi-related: is there a way to set a 'difficult' AI when changing from human to AI, for example to set up a single player challenge? Would be potentially bad for multiplay though.
