This mod will seek to make a challenging AI to play against in single player and multiplayer.

Currently mods can only be applied to 'skirmish' games offline, so offline tournaments are out at the moment.  Multiplayer can only use mods in custom games.

I hope to have many contributors and please post ideas here.   I am no expert on this game and can use every input available.  I also welcome other developers if anyone is interested.

Current Features:

• Each demigod has custom build(s) reflecting a focused skill and item plan
  
  • Each build supports custom favor item and item priorities to taylor item selection to each build.  
  • Where it made sense the AI skill plans hold skill points for use at a later level. 
• The AI purchases Citadel Upgrades like a human:
  • Priests, Angels, and Cats purchased in warrank 8 (if it has the money)
  • Giants and armor upgrades purchased at a high priority in warrank 10

Under Development:

• Refine conditions for when to use an item with an 'on use' property.
• Improve AI macro through goal priority level manipulation.

Mainly Stun/Interrupt Changes.

UB + Rook will save thier skill for interrupt or a low health target.

Sedna + Oak, will fire thier interrupt skills as long as they have mana and should stop using it once they reach low mana, but will fire if an interrupt opportunity presents itself.

Erebus,  Will use charm mostly for interrupt, but if he can stun multiple demigods will fire it off.

Demon Assassin,  Didn't test this, but should only shadow swap to interrupt may add additional conditions later.

Teleport and Large potions set back to require a safe distance from enemies to use.
