	I agree with you there!  Though I'd amend that (in the case of action
games) to add giving it tons more firepower, shields, etc..

	One of the things I really like about Warcraft 2 is that (according
to an article in the most recent PCGamer - the one with "The Dig" on front)
the AI is supposed to be as much like playing a human as possible.  It
supposedly adapts to your moves, so that rather than rushing lemming-like at
10 archers, it sends in catapults and dragons and other flying guys to take
them out (almost a direct quote from the PCG article)  I can't say it'll
be this good until I've played it, but they're definitely taknig away its
inherent advantage..

	One other thing: don't say all Americans carry guns, or I'll shoot
you.. :) (I already know my sense of humor is twisted.  You don't need to tell
me..)
