Okay this is a little list im working on where im trying to come up with all the different situations based on the variables at the top of the descr_campaign_ai_db.xml file. This is a work in progress, and once i've worked out them all, or a good amount, ill try to work out how the ai should behave in each situation, and code it all into the file.
Here are the variables(its a long list):
<min_entry :: The minimum threshold for decision comparison
