Yes aoe2 ai could be made into a powerful weapon but the problem is that it’s probably too hard to program and has to be constantly updated for every balance change/dlc.
I also think the devs aren’t gonna make an ai that fully flexes its ai muscles by: using score and scouting perfectly to figure out what its opponent has, dodging shots perfectly while shooting at perfect intervals, calculating the perfect route for its vills and military to avoid walking time are all things it’ll be able to do and I’m sure everyone is gonna be annoyed at an ai like that because it does everything perfectly. It’ll also auto queue units or something so it doesn’t have idle time at all.
