So they could pretty much tweak numbers here and there so that the level is hard enough (depending on the level etc). Okay may I add that script programmers may be supervised by a level designer.

In the games development hierarchy, there should be at least one senior programmer who will code everything in C++ & expose only 'selective' functions for script. And the functions should not be low level aka the same level as Ogre's. It should be higher level than that. For example:- if (soldier.detectArmy) { if (soldier.energy > 50) sodier.runForCover; else if (solider.energy > 30) soldier.layOnGround; } Obviously, detectArmy function is a very high level function, and it all is implemented in C++.
