AI programming suggestions for wywy

Congrats for the excellence of this game, for the programming of the AI. Impo its really welldone.

Nevertheless, I have 2 suggestions to make AI better:

A) AI does not take suicide into account. They go for kamikaze were ever they can.
Much smarter (and more successful impo) would be to avoid attacks when the counter-attack will kill the unit. Instead they should go back to a village or castle to get some healing.

B) Often there are moving units around (wandering neutrals or enemy units) and “non-moving” units (neutrals who are defending villages or cities and never attack by themselves).
And often AI decides to attack “non-moving” units, while they are under fire from dangerous hostile moving units.

Since there is no danger from “non-moving” units (never attack, only counter-attack), they should be left alone. Highest priority for AI should be to attack moving units.
