This flag controls the delay, in frames, that the AI will wait before choosing an enemy. AIHateDelays is only applicable in multiplayer, allies and enemies are explicitly designated via House settings and Triggers in singleplayer maps.
The values are listed in order of difficulty: Easy, Medium, Hard (Brutal).
Notes
Usually the closest player not allied to the AI is selected as an enemy first, unless another player attacks the AI in the meantime. Although the AI may have multiple enemies, it will focus its attacks entirely on one player at a time, except in 'Free for All' game mode. The AI player will normally only switch focus to another player when the previous enemy is defeated, or when another enemy player becomes a greater threat.
Prior to selecting an enemy, the AI will only build its base defense teams; after selection it will actively build its whole array of AI trigger teams.
