Not yet I'm not ; ). I'll be back when my first patch gets in CVS, and not
before.

Per? Reasons please. I think Greg's original idea sounds great. I know you
don't want to make the easy AI obviously crippled, but I'm OK with letting the
players play an obviously lobotomized AI. After all, that is why medium and
hard difficulty levels exist.  

Frankly, this is due to my rather pathetic imagination. I don't see how to make
the easy AI easy without major crippling. We can't take away omniscience.

Yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision... But today well-lived
makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
