    Rubbish. Nothing more than an attempt at raising sales for Napoleon.
    I'll be proven right as soon as Napoleon is released, which I won't be buying, by the way.

    Makes me wonder; what would CA do to cause a very important programmer to leave the project shortly before launch?

    Still, I hope they make a competent AI and I hope even more they put it into ETW.

    Probably because he didn't have the time to finish it, and SEGA executives wearing black suits, sunglasses and earpieces dragged him from his chair and took him to a black professional car and he was never heard of again.

    He was later found in the basement of EA, made to suffer scorn for eternity, programming DRM.

    Well, this new system of AI has me optimistic - the less scripted behavior the better.

    Being honest, scripted behaviour actually makes it better. less scripted can usually overcomplicate or overwhelm.

    I'd rather see scripted cohesiveness than unscripted confusion.
    "You must know, then, that there are two methods of fight, the one by law, the other by force: the first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first method is often insufficient, one must have recourse to the second. It is therefore necessary for a prince to know well how to use both the beast and the man.
    -Niccolo Machiavelli

    In lieu of clever AI, cleverly scripts can be pretty effective.
