I am thinking about creating some games in Android using an engine.

The game will be in birds eye view and you will be similar in style to Command & Conquer. I will need to use some game AI as well so I want an engine that has that support also if possible.

I am prepared to pay money if necessary

Some Free ones I don't think they contain any AI

Andengine http://www.andengine.org/

Rokon http://www.rokonandroid.com/

Commercial 3D engines These are 3D enines which I don't really need for this project but maybe I can create 2D games as well.

Unity http://unity3d.com/

SHIVA http://www.stonetrip.com/

Commercial 2D Engines Some 2D enines but will not work for reasons mentioned.

CuttleFish http://www.cuttlefishengine.com/ (This will do what I want but is not released yet)

Corona2D http://anscamobile.com/corona/ (This will also work but only has a MAC installer, which I don't have)

Some of the commercial engines allow exporting to the iPhone also which is nice. I may go 3D in the future so having this option might also be useful if I was to go in that direction.

Any suggestions an what would be the best for me to use? Maybe some to definitely eliminate from the list or some extras that may be of interest.
