I'm confused... help anyone???

thx in advance for any help

The steps?
Um. What sort of background do you have, vis-a-vis programming?
You need programming skills. Java skills are the most usable (the AIs are written in Java), but if you've learned to program in any OO or even procedural language, you could, in theory, figure it out.
You should have some sort of environment, either Eclipse (any) or XCode (Mac), for doing the actual work in.
We can get you to the point of compiling an AI and getting it into the game. From there, you need to be able to extend and expand the AI code to do what you want it to do.
There are several phases in a turn, they being card cashing (if required), placing reinforcement armies, attacking and then forting up. Your AI is called using specific entry points for each of these phases. It is up to your code to implement the game algorithm that your AI is going to emulate.
We need more info... we need your programming background. There are people here who have learned Java simply to write their own AIs (myself included) for Lux.
