OK maybe this will address some of the issues about AI. Or at least clarify some. The AI gets more castles/temples/labs. It gets more high level troops. And it avoids some stupid things that can get it in trouble in a fast game. If nothing else its a VERY different game for the demo.

OK the actual image is the same eye one. But the map file is very changed. The game is now called "a Poke in the Eye". Be sure to read the prophet announcements since they can be very interesting. And be sure to scout carefully even on indep settings of 2.
Download those 2 files to the maps directory under your dominions2demo game.
If you are interested in the programming code, just ask.
If you think its crap, show me the one you did and I would be interested.
