The AI doesn't need to be 100% perfect, I think, especially given the limitations that you are working within, here. As long as it doesn't interfere with standard play and can handle some cheese, I would say it's a victory.
That's true. I just always aim for the better 
As a note: Furin experienced that, in the 3rd fight with shadow creatures near the Icara's hut, hiding inside the hut and closing the door with Ice Wall caused enemies to move objects around outside, rather than destroy the Ice Walls.
Characters don't prioritize walls, so if there's something closer to them it's more likely that they will choose this on their first attempts. But the new weight conditions should help if Elric had some low weight items lying around. We could, of course, add some special conditions to prefer ice walls (and consider the use of fire spells to destroy them and remove the surrounding ice surfaces).

Given that the average player will likely experience blockages due to Ice Walls more than object walls, it may make sense to prioritize destroying the Ice Walls over moving objects.
Having enemies use appropriate spells to remove the walls would be cool, but I'm not too sure if can be done safely (fireball is probably the only spell that would sense to cast on them).

Heh. It might make you giggle to read this, taken from the comment feed on Epic Encounters' workshop page: i have started carrying chests with me so before a boss fight i build a wall and exploit the game (sad face)

i have started carrying chests with me so before a boss fight i build a wall and exploit the game (sad face) I'm sure he'll be happy soon  I've modified the script now to prefer ice walls, though it had its difficulties: 1) The closest wall isn't always accessible (blocked by characters or objects). 2) Characters should still be able to move items, in case the wall is blocked by them. 3) The script structure should be retained. I decided against prefering the closest crystal but randomized the selection a bit: they'll choose ice crystal template B with 60% chance (I think B is somewhere in the middle of the wall) and A otherwise. When movement to the crystal fails, they won't prefer walls on their next attempt, but it's still possible that they choose an ice crystal due to the standard item selection (so also crystal C will possibly be targeted here; selection of the closest item, be it a crystal or another item, is more likely here). After a few tests this works okay; they prefer walls and move items if they can't reach the wall. Often not targeting the closest crystal might look a bit unplausible and, indeed, not be the best possible choice often, but I can't choose the closest crystal as first attempt target inside the CHECK block, I'd need to iterate items instead (requiring more variables and more operations). I can do that if you want. One mysterious issue occured (beside bulls simply being to fat to act in combat): although I check the item weight, characters sometimes attack other items when there's a wall somewhere in range (which they can't reach, I suppose). Even if I check the weight again, right before they attack, they attack items that don't have 200,000 weight although that's actually impossible. It's not a serious issue, but extremely strange. I can't imagine a reason for this. Regarding possible conditions for casting fireballs on ice walls. What is your choice? 1) Whenever skill is available, regardless of Allies in explosion radius. 2) Never when __Me or an Ally is within the explosion radius. 3) __Me may be within explosion radius, but no Ally. 4) Allies may be within explosion radius, but not __Me. 5) Frozen Allies may be within explosion radius. 6) Allies may be within explosion radius if at least one Ally is frozen. And one last thing: Is it possible to let ice crystals display their health points? There's no indication of how much points they have and if damage actually reduces them. The low-level characters weren't able to break the crystals. Current script version:
