You really should create a ticket for that sort of thing.

It was not possible to create a basic miner AI which has - simplified spoken- only 3 possible actions: move to rock, move to base, mine.
Scripted buying of tech according to a standarized scheme is possible (easy). But even creating a "model" of the game dynamics which the AI could analyze to find out the best moves seems too be extremely difficult.

My feeling is that somewhere imago is laughing really hard

You could give AS rank to tech completed during the game, the same way as for players. That would help the AI stay up to date after core changes.

I like that idea -- picture all the tech as a grid of numbers (maybe even 3d) and the computer chooses the shortest path from start to finish according to some preset conditions and can change when it finds out about new enemy tech.

like what civ(s) the non-allied teams are and what the mean rank of the players are
rinse and repeat for allied teams

A decent interface (what data the bot can see and actions it can do) then lots of people can make bots and then you have AI comm wars and the victor will be the AI comm of choice.

Possibly some sort of AI "evolution" might help to create AI that indeed comms well.

Easy enough to use opponent modelling and some randomness so AI won't be able to be exploited to lose.
