SoC Ideas AI in Mainline Campaigns Refactoring 2013

This is a Summer of Code 2013 Idea

Description

AI: improve AI configuration and behavior in mainline campaigns

Page for the idea: SoC Ideas AI in Mainline Campaigns Refactoring_2013

Required skills: a small amount of C++, a small amount of lua

There are no student proposals for this idea

Additional Information

During last several years we have added new capabilities to the AI, and allowed to configure it using Lua snippets. However, current mainline campaigns are not updated to take advantage of the new capabilities. Moreover, scenarios of current mainline campaigns might suggest new capabilities (implemented either in C++ or in Lua) to be added to the AI, and configured in those scenarios.

The goal of this project is to refactor existing mainline campaign scenarios (starting with easier and simpler campaigns), seeking to improve the scenario-specific AI behavior and coding, where necessary, the new reusable behavior scripts and map-wide goals.
