I would file this under, possible but not likely in the near future. Given how long it has taken to get the latest patch out based on traditional development methods, and the limited potential revenue stream, I cannot see this being a priority for the developers.

If you had buckets of money to throw at the problem it should be possible to develop a real AI that is better than the existing script method. While WITPAE is a far more complex game than War in Spain, it is not as nearly as complex as protein folding predictors like with AlphaFold which has revolutionized biochemical research.

All that said, I am curious to play War in Spain to test drive the AI capability - so good on Matrix for that!

All I want is a good AI that could react to my move so that I won't have to rely on PBEM to play the game prorperly :? No waiting for turns, no commitment pressure, playing the game on my own terms

I imagine the War in Spain engine will at some point be used to create something for the Pacific Theatre, and other areas.

I think it will be used to create War in the Med and then maybe one day WITP2...
