Modifying AI via leader_value=

The entire purpose of the [ai] tag is to contain the entire AI. That's why it works that way.

Okay, I think I understand. It's that way so people can put multiple micro_ais within one ai tag, alongside ai modifications, such as aggression, and then it's all in one spot.

By the way, I got an error when I tried side=2,3 in a micro_ai. That surprised me. The error said something like, "There is no side 2,3."

I located the micro_ai in a prestart event, not a side tag, so I thought it would work. Oh well. So I duplicated the whole micro_ai and changed it to side=3. No big deal, but it still seems weird that wml didn't allow a list of sides. Or is there a good reason not to?

You're not the first to notice that. As of 1.17 it now supports a list of sides, just like you would expect.

Sweet. I keep hearing good things about 1.17. I'm looking forward to the stable release.
