Q's about ai

Traeon-
Is it possible to change the difficulty of a computer player during the game ?

Is it possible to influence the frequency at which a computer player casts spells through a custom *.ai file ? I want the computer to cast spells whenever possible, not from time to time as he does now :/

Is there any problem with starting an ai scipt for an unused player slot player ? I want the comp to take control of the units of a player in case said player leaves the game. I don't want the comp to build anything or to attack, i just want it to cast spells when appropriate.

All this for a non-melee map.

No, you can't change the difficulty if you mean easy, normal, insane with it, but yes, you could write an AI script that can be influenced to play better or worse.

No, you can't influence spell casting through .ai scripts except through direct orders to the units (and those are better done in trigger).

AI scripts can only be started for computer player slots and neutral hostile.
