Hopefully this will allow some movement forward in creating mods which make use of the AIs actions, and avoid the worse ones.

Very interesting and great stuff!

It's too bad there's no current method the community can modify the scripting for one of the three existing AI personalities. Allowing the community to stop the AIs from sending their pretenders into the arena death match, allow the AI to properly place items such as magic boosters, ability to raise and lower the casting value of specific spells & globals, adjusting importance of province defense, etc., etc., .

Hopefully adjusting the AI scripts will be possible within DOM_4.
