Clueless about AI

How to design a AI build order for custom maps? And how to make it "rebuild"?

I'm making a strategy map like Greece and Lords of Europe, but am clueless about how to make a computer expand.

I'm not sure, but lets say it can only have 1 base. Then at intervals of 10 seconds it goes through a list of a building order and build the one with highest priority.

Priority:
1. Granary
2. Barraacks
3. Farm
4. Farm
5. Upgrade
6. ...

How do I make such a list and check if it has such a building?

I would recommend you to check Blizzard AI files from MPQ, since they use similar method.

Or you can make your own through triggers using checks and timers.

I was more looking for making my own, but I don't want to create a massive page of if-statements...

if barrackCount < 1 then
buildbarrack...
elseif farmCount < 1 then
buildFarm
elseif farmCount < 2 then
buildFarm
endif
etc, bust be some way to arrange that in a struct or something and simply loop through it, or better yet not even loop through it, just find the index which based on events that are to be done.
