 We do not plan to favor Wesnoth players as such, but some particular projects require a good feeling for the game which is hard to get without having played intensively.

 * STL, Boost, Sdl (C++ libraries used by Wesnoth) I know the STL well but I haven't used much other than containers. Limited, I've used one or two libraries from Boost in programs. I've used SDL before and know the general stuff well.

-My idea is to improve the AI by exposing it to Lua, and to add an influence map to give the AI more context to the moves that it is making and in effect to lead it to better choices. I also plan to expose the influence map that I create to Lua aswell.
+My idea is to improve the AI by allowing to to have more context of what is going on in each game. This means giving both the AI, and users knowledge in how good a move is, show suggested moves. To implement this, I plan to create an influence map for each AI player which will calculate roughly how strong each unit on the field is. Based off this the influence map will be able to tell the AI roughly how safe or unsafe a tile is.

+Creating the Lua bindings would be pretty straight forward and  would involve wrapper functions. I would improve the AI by giving it an influence map. When the AI makes a decision it could check the influence table and perform actions in the area of the map with the least perceived enemy strength.
