adaptive RTS AI

Hi all, I probably have no legs to stand on in the AI arena, but I am wanting to take on an AI project (more like a pet project). The idea is for a RTS game that I wish to call adaptor. It revolves around the idea of constantly changing conditions and units and forces players to make quick strategic decisions and 'adapt or die'! The biggest focus on the game is to be AI. Im not too sure what will all be entailed here, perhaps you guys can give me some pointers. What I thought of so far: - A map will need to be pre-processed to calculate important influencing factors, like bottlenecks and vantage points for different types of strategies (hit and run, flanking, ect.) - AI should have a set of properties that could give them personality traits (like cowerdice, aggresivness, ect. - AI would need to learn from their mistakes when playing agaist a specific player (learn his weakness, how to overcome his tactics) - And maybe as an advanced option, learn to characterise a human player into these same personality traits, so as to make him a little more predicatable. I am not yet sure if any of these ideas are even feasable, but it is interesting stuff nonetheless.

Start small... get the units on screen - get the moving and planning paths - then get them making higher level decisions. It'll be more personally rewarding (at least it was for me) if you consider ALL of these things a large focus instead of just overhead before you get to the 'good stuff' that you want to work on.
