; List of taunts it reacts to:

; Standard taunts.
; 33 - Stop slinging resources. If slinging is requested early and is immediately canceled it may mess up the strategy.
; 38 - Sling Resources. Human player only, stops any unit production except for civilian units.
; 100 - Forbids the AI to resign.
; 101 - Cancels the 100 taunt.
; 200 - Enables resource cheats - only works on 'hardest' difficulty.
; 222 - Same as 31, but more likely to help (only taunt this if you really need it).
; 230 - Tells the AI to go for a monk rush (taunt only works on civs who have good monks).
; 231-238 - Chat 230+[enemy player number] to make the AI target this enemy for 10 minutes.
; 250 - Chats information about the current strategy.


The standard taunts (1-42) are shown in the chat menu, to open that click the trumpet symbol in the top right of the screen (while playing).
The AI can't directly help you nor detect your flares (due to limitations in the AI engine), but 31 will ask it to attack - it will still evaluate if it's reasonable to attack or just suicidal first (if you taunt 222 instead it will be a bit more reckless). (So if it's really really urgent - 222.)

Ever want to have a bit more influence over how the AI plays? Whether its telling the AI who to attack, which units to make, and whether it's allowed to resign or not, you have more options than you probably realized.
