Would the AI be able to bank/throttle actions in order to do bursts? You need to consider the latency between actions. Ordering a new unit can take only 2 actions but the single action of selecting a point on the minimap can take a lot longer (unless you count moving the cursor with your mouse an action). For the AI it would probably take the same amount of time.
Only concern is this.... isn't this basically training AI in war tactics and battlecraft...
That's very easy to limit, you can draw up a simple function that replicates how a user behaves, and make it so the AI 'knows' about that delay too.Quote:

Well it's nice to know that next time we're invaded by the Zerg we've got a head start ;)Quote:
