I already know what I can do for the developer: I can buy their stuff. They gotta make it first though.

1.02 is currently due this week.

I already got some evil AI stuff in and a pretty huge performance boost at the end of turns. I rewrote the way units are found on tiles that should have a big impact late game.

It should be noticeably better in tactical battles. I almost have it using its personal items better (i.e. Salted Pork) but i had to take it out because they may be making a game play change to that.

Just make it where the AI AUTOMATICALLY heals all wounds after a certain amount of time. (On higher difficulties of course)

I was going to have the AI scan your hard drive for incriminating files, then black mail the player into letting it win.

That sounds pretty fair to me. I mean, you gave it admin rights to install, right?

Working on the tactical AI is great news. I've been playing the Scenario (finally) and really noticed some poor AI choices. For instance, AI being too cautious while approaching to attack. Or failing to target a unit with 2 HP left. Or casting spells on units with high magic resistance instead of those that are much more vulnerable.

That reminds me of the cartoon from long ago of the person sitting at his computer talking to someone over his shoulder saying "FINALLY, I am going to defeat the evil wizard", while under the desk you see a hand in a wizards robe coming out of a hole in the wall to unplug the computer.

to be fair it is still a fairly buggy game. most people won't be happy with what they have, if what they have is incomplete. There's a substantial list of issues still needing fixed.

it's still an awesome game though ^^ buggy or not, i'm playing 1.01 right now

Like this?

Can't wait, I run into crashes if I reload too much. I will play some hardcore ironman game after I have learned the basics of the game, but the wiki is woefully incomplete. I am taking notes, but my attention to detail really sucks lol

agreed! i want to see the ai powerful enough to win while using the same rules as the player. The objective in improving it should be to replace cheats, with intelligent use of game mechanics.

Oh, it does, when CIA asks really nicely. I remember that under Bush, they pressured Google to flush its caches, because it made their changes to articles referring to events in the past obvious.
