I don't see at all why this would need a memory. It is either useful
to attack regarding success probability, or not. The past doesn't
influence success probability in any way (except veteran status, which
is already memorized). Or do you mean that from the past the AI knows
what units do defend a city? I think it knows anyway (but I'm not
sure).
