Mod: SemiRandom AI

[Stavis_L]

@JimMorrison - re: cycling to get advantageous picks, I think the point is to have the AI use this, and it presumably wouldn't do that :-)

@Gandalf Parker - Interesting idea, and looks fun. Have you considered investing a little extra time into the program's infrastructure to allow some configuration a-la SemiRandom/RanDom? Where I'm going with this is to allow randomness, but within certain ranges to prioritize synergistic combinations.

Here's a totally off the cuff configuration schema that might be a way to go (note: had to use braces vs. xml angle brackets for it to be accepted into the post...)

{unit id="727"}{!-- Jaguar warrior, likes a strong fire, water, or death blesss --}
{magicpreference type="fire" minlevel="9" /}
{magicpreference type="water" minlevel="9"/}
{magicpreference type="death" minlevel="9" /}
{!-- unit synergies are with a fast or flying, blessable unit --}
{unitsynergy type="262" /}{!-- van --}
{unitsynergy type="367" /}{!-- pegasus rider --}
