Thank you thank you thank you for releasing this early :D Great stuff!

So when's the next Spring release due?

[clericvash]

haha, cool

Would it be possible for us to set a defualt action, i would always use automatic, but others might not.

Excellent work - thanks.

However, I was a little dissapointed when it went and replaced my lvl1 exploiter with a standard moho extractor. Any chance it could deal with armed mex's? I realise these are mod specific but I wouldn't have thought it'd be too tricky to implement - but then I don't know the first thing about it so I could be wrong. Wouldn't it just need a list of each lvl1 mex and its respective replacement.

How about upgrading geo's too?

This AI is mod independent. It searches for the unit that extracts the most metal, which not necessarily the best unit. I normally don't play AA, but I guess the armed mex extracts less metal than the moho.

Upgrading geo's could also be done fairly easily (by replacing just two lines of code), but then again, I don't play AA, so I really can't be bothered :).

Dont bother with upgrading geos. They're few and far between; most maps dont have them; and they need to be given much <3 .
