Default Re: Battle AI hooks

Hmmm that would be great but I think it just shifted from simple to involved.

Johan would be more likely to create a typing window to tell it a spell and a slider to affect it. Or cut-n-paste the in-game code for assigning a spell on the commanders script commands, into a new command for degrading a spell. An interface to some other external language I dont see as likely.

If it did happen Id expect something more DIY than exporting the AIs thinking. The list of spells we can provide and just a setting of something like Flight -10.

The debug file could be used to try and figure out what change you want to assign if you want to do something like move a specific spell to be slightly higher or lower than another specific spell.

...
Those two options you just mentioned sound great. Do you think there's any chance to see this happen?- It would have a really big positive impact on the game.
