Utility: Single Player Improvement

I believe the one major benefit would be that you could integrate it into a server, like llamaserver, and have it take care of abandoned nations in mp games without actually turning them ai, so if you find a sub you just switch back to human control. It could work as easy as having a specific mail account for the robot, like domrobot@exampleserver.net, which you assign to abandoned nations rather than turning ai.

The external AI program will never get written. Without the actual codebase of the real Dom3, the amount of work you'd have to do just to generate consistently legal moves would be huge, before you even get to producing a sensible and better AI opponent. Or, Andy Murray could win Wimbledon this year.

Most likely correct. It is still a good idea, however.
