How involved is it to create a new AI personality?

If it differs substantially from existing types, does that require writing a whole new batch of code? Or do you have something in place where you mostly tweak various parameters that could potentially be made external to the program for most personality types...

I ask because just in case it happens to be the latter, I bet there would be demand for opening that capability to the end user.

It's substantial, because the logic is always new.

This is, I imagine, why different AI types are more in the categories of 'uses this type of ship and structure' rather than 'tends to gather its forces and attack from the flank.'

Yep.

I also wanted to ask that question. How involved is it to create a new AI personality? Can you help?
