We will add a proper skirmish AI at some point with more map settings etc. Regarding automatically chopping down wood, we're not 100% sure, since sometimes you might want to mine metal instead. We'll have a think about it!
I also thought about that, the thing is that usually, the main reason for putting a resource camp is to collect wood, though not always, it is most of the time. Because trees are in abundance, and mines are more rare. Thanks for such a quick answer!
