in MP, can you set yourself to computer control for a turn or two...

The 'always same password' issue is hard to get around, but you could ask someone who is not another player in that game to stand in for you, and not tell anyone who it is.

Of course, if the program had the option to change the password, the problem would be the standin changing it and not letting you back in.

a reversible AI switch would be so easy to do, and so cool to play with.

I thought the master password thing was going to allow it but it doesnt. Im not sure if the computer player operates in a way that is easily transferable to player control. Of course Im not sure if having access to the AI will improve or worsen the threads about its effectivness

Using different passwords in each game can be a very effective way to teach yourself hard-to-remember vocabulary (foreign or otherwise), important dates (e.g. anniversary), spelling, etc.

Trying to install the patch can be a good way to teach yourself foreign vocabulary, too. Everything I learned about Nagot Gick Fel, I learned while trying to patch Dominions.
