Good idea. A general consideration I wonder about right off the bat is how 
stateless is the AI and how stateless should it ideally be? I guess this 
probably boils down to does/should a savegame tell us only what things 
exist and where or does it tell us past intentions such as maybe a mission 
profile or role for a unit? When we load up a game do we know which units 
are intended to have specific roles or do we have to guess all that or 
maybe rather not care about that and instead figure out what roles we now 
want to give them given that we might be a higher-tech AI than the one 
that originally set up the position that is recorded in the savegame?
