I sketched how such a Lua script could look like in a start condition for my own tribe.

So it is more the less deprecated and should only be used if really unavoidable. Top Quote

You are no longer dependent on the internal decision-making of the game engine für AI.

So if it works for you I am happy with this, however I would strongly oppose this to get into the official branch in any case. Top Quote
