M27 worked great, note to self: try more of the newer AIs. Thanks for your help @maudlin27

As far as I can tell, that replay is stored locally so if the link doesn't work for you, let me know. In this replay I disabled all mods except flying engineers, I didn't want the match to go long if the AI wasn't working - and the Sorian AI again, just stood there. So I noticed that when the AI was at about 50% life left, it begins building a factory finally. Maybe I should have allowed it to continue a bit to see if it would put up a fight, but...I'm still hoping that maybe something obvious/simple to a map builder will stand out and can be corrected to make the map/AIs behave normally. Thanks for the response @maudlin27 - if you have any ideas on where to go from here, I'm all ears.
This is regarding vault map Not Just Another Crater 7v7. Anyone willing to take a look at it to understand why the AIs simply spawn and just stand there? My experience with FA map making is nonexistent but I did take a look at the LUAs and ran some comparisons of the files with another map that I know works, but none of the changes I made (to my local files) did anything when I relaunched the map.
