Can you create persistant game data with the game itself. Like create a database and save it out.

So that you could create a learning AI for example.

Yes.

There are two types of database you can access to either store simple name/value pairs in or manually create tables and store more complex data

Modding.OpenSaveData() gets you access to a per-game db

Modding.OpenUserData(sModName, iModVersion) gets you access to a db that persists between games (useful for storing user configuration preferences)

The latest version of ModBuddy implies that you can add data to (at least) one of these databases via the standard OnModActivated -> UpdateDatabase mechanism (but I've not experimented tp work out which, if indeed it workd at all)

Cool, I'll have to have a play. I played C&C tyberium sun with learning AI. It was amazing, if not a little freaky! I'd love to recreate that experience in Civ.
