Why AI can't use..

I don't know where do I put thread. Ok Why AI can't use Necromancy, Diplomacy or Berserk. I hope someone modder creates a new difficulty level is Nightmare: AI can grows skeletons, builds Cloak of the Undead King, casts Berserk and Diplomacy. And then Fear spell to only AI, so AI grows legion without crashes game from factory error edition: RoE version 1,0. Where was AI grew 200k of Monks, for example.

Today I played WoG/ERA II. Trained AI doesn't help AIs.

Hmm sometimes someone said/called an odd AI, cheated AI, etc those aren't true. Machine is machine. But AI engine is too bad. Chess engine over 3000 ELO ratings played beautiful games. No AI but raw math and fine algorithm. And 1970's games were very impossible, I've played two color spacebattle game. Game lasted many hours. Because of 1 live/man. If I/you failed, so back to the start, because only 1 live/man.

Ok limited AI, we talk about it. HotA and ERA have little progress.

I think HotA AI does all/most of those things. Tjose limitations existed in the original H3 to not make the AI too powerful.

WAT? AI too powerful? I think it was just a matter of time and money, of architectural limitations or of technologies not yet available.

It was so the AI won't be too challenging.

Yeah AI never grew the largest skeletons, and human player beat AI by Diplomacy. AI doesn't "interest" Diplomacy. I remember AI can grows skeletons in HotA.

AI does use necromancy and diplomacy, it just isn't very good at keeping skeletons alive.

But it does not use Disguise, Force field, Landmine, Quicksand, Remove Obstacle, Earthquake, Berserk, Fire wall, Scuttle Boat, View Earth, View Air, Visions.

It does use Earthquake, in HotA it also uses Berserk, not sure about View Air/Earth and Visions.

AI doesn't use Slayer, Sacrifice and Forgetfulness too.
Edit: I was confused since AI_value of these spells is equal to AI_value of spells that AI never uses (Fire Wall etc).

About Necromancy: in SoD AI always raises exactly 1 Skeleton (or Lich), even if it should've raise 100% of the creatures slain.

In HotA this bug is fixed but another bug appeared: AI somehow raises 1 or 2 more Skeletons than it should be.

Edit: number of additional Skeletons increases with creatures slain, for example after killing 1000 Gnolls, AI hero with 15% Necromancy raised 170 Skeletons (20 more than is should be).

When I was beginner AI attacks with 10k skeletons so AI use it but maybe later. In big maps.
Best AI is in HI and II. HIV is tragedy. No initiative on the map. Only battle but cant use potions.
In in if AI is genius you dont be able to win playing 200%.

Okay so I just had a look into this again and it seems like AI can't use these adventure spells:
View Air, View Earth, Disguise, Scuttle Boat and Visions.

It also can't use these combat spells:
Fire Wall (Luna specialty), Quicksand, Remove Obstacle, Land Mine, Force Field and Berserk. (In HotA AI can actually use Berserk.)

Does nobody know how to make the AI actually use these spells?
I know it would probably not use all spells optimal, but I would like to experiment a bit...

For info, it used earthquake yesterday in h3 complete. Those obstacle-based spells like firewall, force field etc are harder tto code so they prolly skipped them for that reason.
