okay im going to respond
no it isn't stupid as it adds one of the most important part of decision making in the game
I understand what you are trying to point out, but technically it doesn't make sense. limiting the AIs APM is simply a handicap that can be used to keep things interesting. it doesnt make the AI any more human
if you limit the ai to certain action per minute you are not dividing its attention or anything like that. it will continue what it did earlier, it will just have a new kind of resource it will need to learn to macro with perfectly. it will learn to spend its actions effectively and this will probably limits its potential but won't change anything otherwise (I guess its micro will be less perfect, but have no actual idea)
it'd be interesting to see a graph on how much APM the AI can be limited to until its performance starts to seriously degrade - or to see how well it can adapt to these limitations
