I've been thinking about this too. But I don't think that is possible

But will my AI work?

It should, because it is only the AI editor that says it's invalid, the game wont care

Ok, thanks!

The ai editor always thinks from game start (stone age) perspective. But everything you put in the scenario (including age advances) will be considered done, even if it's not in the ai. Example: if you make an ai of just train war elephant, editor will say bad, because iron age is not available. In game, you have selected iron age as start age, and war elies will come out.

This is hopefully an issue Darky will solve if he ever finishes his AI editor.

Mmmm...
So I've created the following AI:

B109 Town_Center 1 -1
T4 Bowman 1 87 5
C44 R__S__Armor_for_Arch_ 1 103
T37 Cavalry____ 1 101 3
C45 R__S__Armor_for_Cav_ 1 103
T93 Hoplite____ 1 0 2
C43 R__S__Armor_for_Inf_ 1 103
T73 Clubman_Axeman 1 12 3
C51 R__Metalworking 1 103
C64 R__Short_Sword 1 12
C32 R__Artisanship 1 84
T75 Short_Swordsman____ 1 12 3

It's not working proporly.
It stops after C44, and I don't know why. I've given the CP with this AI unlimited resources, and all the required buildings. Why does it get stuck? Help would be very appreciated =)

I am no good in AIs but it could be the retrains. Make it train 1 instead, and then try.

No, it doesn't help

What's even more strange, after popping out 1 archer, the CP sends the archer to attack me. The .per file tells him to do so only after making a unit of at least 15 soldiers.

Maybe it has something to do with the .ply file?

Try not making the armor researches critical. Also one of the main ideas of the editor that I'm slowly working on when I get the chance to is that you can somehow preset what age and buildings you have.

I've uncriticalized (is that a British English word? Not sure) the researches, but still the AI isn't working...
Anybody knows why the archer decides to kamikaze?

Gumble seems to be "pro" in AIs, maybe he knows

I remember Gumble from summer, a year ago.

I think we are going require some more information if we are to be of much more help. The main things I want to know are is this for AoE or RoR and what is the per file you are using?

Game: RoR

Does anybody have an idea?
