Hopefully I won't get into too much trouble for this, but since there have been so many requests, the following link will take you to Markgame's AOE2 Scenario and AI Script Building site where you will find a PDF version of the CPSB in a zip file. Be sure to say hi in the forum!
Thanks alot, you are the only and first person to do this. Thanks again

I wish I could let you say you were the first, but I acctually put the thing up in html format before your page was launched. not to brag, just thought i'd... well... okay i'm bragging =]! my site is up at http://members.xoom.com/thinx/aokscript.html but you can find the file at http://members.xoom.com/thinx/aifile.html and you can read it or download it in its entirety. I'm already working on a kick @#$ script! =]

Spiffman, I know you were the first, since when I built my site yours was the first link I added to the page
I put up the AI doc in PDF format because otherwise the page number references that exist throughout the document wouldn't be valuable. Even a Word97 to Word95 conversion messes them up a little. Plus since AoK includes the Adobe Reader 4.0 for the manual everyone will have access to a PDF viewer.
Good luck with the AI scripting. I've been playing with it a little, but from what I deduce, once you change the player AI in the editor from standard to your own AI, the game engine is absolutle dependance on your AI making every decision. It would be nice if ES posted the "standard" AI as a .per file so we could modify it, rather than writing it from scratch.
