It's something that kind of looks like lisp, but the only thing it has in common is the parentheses. You basically set condition→action rules, one level deep, with a limited amount of global-only "variables" (goals). I think the amount of conditions and actions per "rule" is limited, too.

I went and had a look for the AI I had seen before, here's it on gist if anyone would like to read it (it's 28,000 lines).

Exactly and AI-scripting is also a pain IMHO but (replying to grandparent) I actually meant setting conditions/triggers/actions on a custom map.
