I've been playing for over a year now and the ramp up really isn't bad at all- there are a ton of new players starting all the time, and the map continues to expand so new players aren't right up against old ones. You can probably get a basic one room AI going in a weekend, and then continue to expand it over time. The great thing about this game is that if you "die" you still have all the progress you've made with your code, so restarting doesn't hurt too much. With regards to the "ScreepsScript" idea- there definitely is a small amount of that but it's pretty minimal. There is also a huge community on the screeps slack network that makes it a lot easier to get into the game.
