"Unit:" - Loads a list of all units in a specific Map. By typing the string name of a unit (EX: "Infantry") after "Unit:", it would load the unit, and become ready to be edited.
"Country:" - Essentially the same as "Unit:", but with every present country on a map (Obviously you couldn't make it turn into a unit, or many other functions that could be added to other lists).
"Capital:" - For capitals.
"City:" - For cities.
"Button:" - For buttons.
So, with these lists, we can load units/cities/etc into a block of code, and edit how they specifically work. Two ways would be with simple If/Else statements, and Loops.
if (Unit: "Stealth".attack == 8)
{
"Stealth".type == Land;
} else {
"Stealth.type == Air;
Basically, what I did there was tell the script "If the attack value of the unit "Stealth" is exactly 8, then it turns into a Land unit. If "Stealth" has an attack value that is not exactly 8, then it continues to be an Air unit. Also, you may have noticed that I used a ".type" function at the end of the "Unit:" list; this would serve as a way of declaring what we'd like to change/talk about. So, we want to change the type of a unit, we would use the ".type" function. There could also be other functions, like ".income", ".attack", ".other", etc.
Finally, we would need a way of, say, telling the game that we're specifically doing something, like pressing a hotkey, or displaying a tip-box.
".pressed" - Would be a function, stating that a button (loaded from "Buttons:") is currently pressed, or moreso, when a button is pressed, it would execute whatever code is attached.
".released" - A function that basically works the same was as ".pressed", only for when a button is released.
".window (X , Y), (c("Insert String text to display, or add other keys")/c)" - Would display a window with keys/text/states etc. in it.
".event" - When executed, would make whatever parameter specified appear in the game. Could be an easy shortcut instead of other codes, like manually changing a unit type to something after X minutes or whatever, or making caches of resources appear.
----
In conclusion, I'm sure all of you could think of more simple functions, variables, etc to make this work even better. I personally would like to see some simple pseudo-scripting like this, would make the game x2 more enjoyable, and expand AW's creativity that already defines it.

I was referencing that thread, and the idea still exists through streaming.
