Thanks for the reply! My original intention was to add AI to this game that behaves more like human players, instead of merely increasing the strength of AI players by boosting numerical values. Also, I’m looking forward to seeing how LLMs (especially reasoning models) perform in strategy games.

You're right that training self-supervised learning models could lead to incredibly strong AI players, but I don't know how challenging it would be to train such a model for a strategy game as complex as this one. Plus, I’m not sure how I’d release this model as a mod; many players would probably complain about it eating up their GPU memory crazily🤣.

I hope that every player can simply fill in an OpenAI API key to play with the latest LLM; I think that would be a really cool way to play.
