Does the AI ever use Raise/Lower land etc?

from Elemental Forums

Has anyone ever seen the AI use Raise/Lower land?

I've seen it use strategic spells like Wither, but not sure i've ever seen Ai use any terraforming type stuff like Raise/Lower land... or Arcane Monolith.

Anyone?

 

Edit -> Hmm what about Corruption or Consume... don't think i've seen those used either. 

 

Thanks.

Or how about Outpost Upgrades.

Haven't seen those either, im guessing the ai just doesn't know how to use them.

 

Yeah i'm thinking that must be the case.  AI getting much better with spells but i'd really like to see it use some of these from time to time.  I don't even care if it uses them badly... I just want to see the AI drop an arcane monolith down now and then... or lower a mountain.  

That'd be cool.

The biggest benefit would be if they could revive the land in an intelligent way, I've seen a number of factions die off because they couldn't do this. Raise/lower terrain I've never seen either though.

@ Derek/Brad

Can we pleeese get the AI to use Terraform spells.  It's about the only spells that they aren't using now.    

So it would be fantastic if the AI would use these from time to time:

- Arcane Monolith

- Raise/Lower Land

- Corruption

- Consume

- Modded spells that act in similar ways

 

Seems to be the strategic spells that don't target a unit that are missing out.
