	*Let the AI cheat. Give them spells the player doesn't have. Give them mana at the beginning of the game. Give them a lot of people and buildings. It makes the AI cooperate better and the level is harder if you do that.		*Let the AI cheat. Give them spells the player doesn't have. Give them mana at the beginning of the game.

	You must have a perfect AI script for your level. You have to have the AI challenging and you have to have an AI that cooperates with the level. For instance, if you have a stone head, try to make the AI get the stone head, too. If you have a level with boats, make the AI use boats. You could also make the AI backdoor and sidedoor a bit, too, and perhaps make land.		You must have a perfect AI script for your level.
