Super AI options sets skill of all AI units to maximum. We added this option, because we made normal AI level in 1.40 a bit easier, seeing a lot of complaints game was too hard after 1.30 patch. To satisfy players you like playing with very good opponent, we included the Super AI option.

Other improvements include:

- some AI perception bugs fixed
- many MP bugs fixed
- general stability improved, especially in MP
