I actually would love to write a peace of software that will allow player to boost up AI army composition to give more enjoyable gameplay.
Basically less levies more professionals and with some right proportions of unit types.

Getting AI standings with other factions would be very helpful to make head and tails of AI diplomacy decisions.
Although this would be very tricky.

And of course if we could raise faction from the dead by editing save game would be insane.

Possibility to raze city like Carthage from the face of earth would also be great (although with all the scripts this would be more tricky ).

I really hope you will share your findings Chris when you are done with reverse engineering save file.

Great job man.
