These code parts? Which ones you mean? CMA? That's good, nevertheless
not enough. I can very hardly imagine advisor which will tell you
with which unit attack which other unit and for which unit take which
ferryboat to transport to which continent in order to start offensive
against which player... Well, best will be to practice the new AI, then
we will know :-).

I said harder, not hard :^). We will probably need to expand the current
observer mode to support spying other connections ;-) (obviously crying
appropriatelly everywhere in order not to be abusable).
