To how much level can the AI IQ be set in numbers? Is this also applicable to human players? Or will this greatly affect the gameplay if adjusted extremely?

I was asking if you can make it ridiculously higher than what is supposed to be it's default value.

; When in skirmish mode or when multiplayer AIs are active, the computer IQ is set to

I would assume that there's only support for 5 IQ levels, after all it would be pretty stupid if Westwood coded smarter AI and then crippled it by limiting the max AI level to 5. You could try setting it to 6 and see if something works better, no?

I just had a great idea coming from IQ: setting the player IQ to a very high level (not sure what level this is) is supposed to make the player's units do things more by themselves, right? Well I know that you cannot make a player automatically create units (can you?) but imagine a mod that is designed for kids or people who are not very good at this game or games in general. The IQ could be set really high so that the player need only create a bunch of stuff, and that stuff plays out the game for them... to a certain extent.

And if the IQ does create it's own units for players when set high enough, one could make an "observer" mod - a mod designed simply to let people watch the game. Because sometimes, even just watching the AI can be more entertaining than playing the game itself

Problem is, nobody will ever care to make it decent...
