Thanks for posting this vid.
It is indeed very interesting. One thing that amazed me is the fact that the AI code represents only 2-3% of the total in Civ4. But when you think of it, the AI just needs to know what to do with this unit, this city, this opponent, etc., hence the scripting Soren talks about : the temple gives more culture and happiness, do I need it, am I at peace or at war ? etc., and eventually the decision is taken, based on an overall value.
I think that Soren is a very good game designer, and his work on Civ is amazing. Too bad he left but I guess the guy likes challenge.
