Eminence has always been a good friend, and he was more than willing to help me test my mod.
To put it short we lost 4 of 5 matches, probably should have been 3 of 5 because he had to leave during our final match.
But other than that, plenty of things was seen. I would recommend looking at the "some empire micro"
video, that was our first match and kenji really did something I thought I he never would.
So everything should continue on schedule, with all my major problems out of the way I now have to work on improving and improving some more. But I will admit it's likely there still may be things left to do after the initial release, but I promise there is a challenge with this AI.
The only concern is if I'll have the extra personalities done too.
Just fix the AI first. The extra personalities are, as you say, extra. Each personality would have to have more than one play style for variety and to prevent predictability, and I don't think you can possibly generate enough distinct play styles to group together into one personality in so short a time.
I've actually got a whole lot of things done, what I really need to do is test more. In other words, the extra personalities are not out of the picture.
I've come up with 5 concepts for new personalities, which may be included into each faction. I'm not gonna say any more about them until the 4th, where I shall introduce one of them.
