Yeah, like I can really see that happening.

Default Re: AI States

The best way I see to have this implemented is when you turn on your OWN ministers a description is put on top of the main system map that says what state the AI is in, this would not allow cheating as only you can see your own state, no one else could (although having the ability to toggle it like 'see all scores' could be useful for modding as well).

maybe it was a hint that there is another secret cheat code! <ctrl> + <shift> + "showstate" in the diplomacy screen might just print out the AIs current state! and AI modder support has been built in all along without us knowing it!

or maybe not. ill go back to my corner now.
