I'm really addressing this question to Sean.
I don't think there's a tactful way to ask it, or to phrase the question in a completely non-biased way, so I'll just ask it straight.
Does the AI cheat?

(AWESOME game, Sean.......looking forward to the next version!)
Sean,
Speaking of Christmas presents, I'm wondering if you have any plans to improve Slay's AI along the lines of the discussions we've had before. If not, would you consider merely "scrambling" the algorithm Slay uses to set up the starting positions for each island as you did when we went from v3.x to v4.x? I've played every challenge island in v4.x many times over, and it would be nice to start over with a new set of "islands".
Regards,
Mark
