MTG Expanded / Expert AI 4.0 Compatibility Patch

This mod allows Expert AI 4.0 to be used with Man the Guns Expanded.





Man the Guns Extended adds new surface warship and submarine hulls as well as over 20 new ship modules greatly expanding ship customization options. This mod makes no changes to vanilla ships or modules. It only adds to them so the AI experience should remain unchanged. The new ships and modules can all be unlocked through research in the naval technology tree.

Details:

• Ships added: Super-Heavy Battleship II, Flight-Deck Cruisers, Large Cruiser, 1945 Submarine Hull, Submarine Cruisers, Submarine Carrier and Midget Submarine.
  
• Ships unlocked: Pre-Dreadnought Battleship, SH Battleship II, Coastal Defense Ship, Torpedo Cruiser, Submarine Cruiser I
  
• Modules added: Too many to list. While most modules focus on submarines, many can be applied to surface vessels as well. All modules are based on historic technologies.

Other than just making the AI more efficient, this mod also adds completely new AI features such as:

• A scripted AI army focus system that allows any AI to choose from a wide range of different strategies and to logically prioritise research and variant design accordingly instead doing the same thing every game. There are over 400 template variations for the AI to design towards when creating divisions which gives it adaptability and adds replayability to the game.
  
  
• New military coordination decisions and diplomatic actions for the player that allows you to influence what your allies do: launch coordinated naval invasions, change production priorities, check their stockpiles, coordinate lend-lease.

There is also a flexible in-game configuration tool (CTRL-SHIFT-O) that allows you to customize the difficulty and the AI in various ways at any point in the game:
Change certain AI behavior or game balance.

• Customize any country's build strategy (army, air, navy) from the specifics of template composition and width to land doctrine paths and fleet composition.
  
  
• Add various different types of difficulty settings from simple bonus modifiers to scaling modifiers and even free division and equipment spawning until you find the challenge you need.
