You haven't seen Illwinter's webpage yet, have you? That really isn't such an amazing claim. *g* They are amazing at game-making, but web-design or marketing is not their forte. (They still haven't got any information about Dominions II reachable from their main webpage.)

Richard is an employee of shrapnelgames, not of illwinter.

I think it is very considerate of him to place the credit for shrapnel games product pages where it is due, I can say, without exaggerating, that without the dom2 AI shrapnelgames wouldnt be the company it is today. In fact upcoming improvements in the dom2 AI will soon make Richard and most of the other shrapnel staff all but redundant. The slight delay in the release of dom2 might very well have been a futile attempt by unknown shrapnel personel to stay the inevitable in a vain attempt to redefine positions that the dom2 AI threatens to turn into mere ornamentations.

Illwinter people,
Your AI-souless-bots maybe code the game, but they're unable to update your site.. Last update is MAY 2003 !!!!

More seriously, has the game AI specific advantages when put on higher level (more gold, unirs, pumped-up units, "flawed" dice, less unrest, "automatic" knowledge of other nations'army, detection of hidden troops, whatever) or is it just *smarter* ?
