i hate myself for doing it, but I'm curious
No, the AI isn't scripted, only battle scripting in there concerns intros and battle victory tweaks. And if you want to be absolutely sure that there are no scripts involved in the battle you can get BKB's battle pack for the demo.Just a note about the AI, the battles could be scripted(i don't know exactly since i didn't downloaded the demo) and maybe that's why you have the feeling it's better, it may be a marketing scam by CA.
