In regard to equipment, saying 'the AI is there' is pointless. If you had one AI set to build and assign items totally at random and one AI using the current system, could anyone tell the difference?

I've never seen the AI give a useless item to a commander, nearly all of them provide a benefit in some way.

AKAIK, there are no 'useless' items. Although you have point, I think Sombre is right. Half of the time, the Ai does stupid things, like equiping non-assassins with skull talismans, or mages with black plate. The other half of the time, they make decent choices, but I've never seen the Ai equip something that looked like an Sc or Thug because of its
equipment.
It seems to me that this might actually be easy to remedy. Couldn't we just devise a couple of hundred item 'sets' that the computer would try to follow. E.g. large commanders look up item profiles from a list that includes sets like firebrand, charcoal shield, ring of regen, amulet of resiliance and dragon scale mail.
Of course, that assumes the computer could reach lvl 6 in con, which is often doubtful in short games, so we'de need lots of different lists for different circumstances. But I doubt the community would be unable to come up with a few. It wouldn't be that different from something like the SemiRandomizer, would it?
