I actually do like programming AIs as well. For some reason I am just fascinated to watch different AIs take on each other while I play the god - that being throwing random resources, challenges, units, disasters and etc. in the game and observing how they react. I used to do this with the very, very limited AI scripting and map trigger placement availability in AoEII and now I switched to C&C Generals but it is more unit modding oriented than general scripting so I'm looking for an alternative.

If you or someone else ships something like you just described, I'd probably waste a lot of weekends. So let me know if you win the lottery!
