I was going to shoot for both. Any kind of AI beyond writing a config file is a complicated AI to me.

The problem is not with AIs, although AIs have implemented workarounds in the past.

If builder == unit

AND

to be built == unit

AND

position of builder == target position

THEN

Builder stays stationary waiting for itself to move and nothing happens, the command times out and no units is built. The AI workaround has been to offset the position to search so that the target position is now offsetted in a random direction.

Because this hasnt been an issue for years, the new AIs have not included this fix, and those that have survived since those times, never supported units building units to begin with.

replicators are kinda easy to do, the lua is all done before by other games or easy to make.
problem is, there has not been a clear idea on how they should actually work.
