Nice work. Hopefully it will help you and others.

I was and am thinking about it. My current design is in
doc/README.agents. The idea is that you divide the AI tasks and create
a hierarchy of agents.

I implemented CMA which you may know. I also implemented some other
agents: SMA (settler management agent), GA (goto agent) and EA
(explore agent). But these aren't included in the source distribution
since some infrastructure patches weren't applied yet.

There are other ideas how to tackle this problem. One is to add a
interface and use another language better suited for the AI
task. There are at least two implementation for this using Python.
