Marshall Lords AI
In this type of game it is important that the AI is good enough to make the scenarios a challenge. If the AI is poor, the only way to make the scenarios difficult is to give AI players a crushing advantage in numbers, which makes it difficult for human players to display strategy when defeating them.
The principle behind the AI is that of the script; a list of actions the commander will take. However, this basic premise is vastly expanded by including logic in the script and allowing commanders to synchronise their actions. This mix of pre-scripted behaviour, reactive behaviour and random behaviour makes for interesting games.
