Enhanced AI

Description
This is a functioning enhanced AI. You can choose between 6 difficulty levels, and depending on the difficulty level, different AI behaviors are enhanced.

For this, I've adjusted several behaviors:

- Faster expansion
- More aggressive gameplay
- Better resource management

Some AI fixes:
- Units no longer get stuck for years on a single tile.
- No starving in winter.
- No senseless attacking of neutral factions.

Everything is still a work in progress, so if you test the AI, I'm always open to feedback. The AI works on any map. Therefore, you can create a map in the editor or download one from the workshop and then copy my script.hx into the mod folder. The mod itself now includes a 2vs4 map, where you can team up in co-op mode against four AIs

If you want to change clans, follow this guide:
Start Northgard - Goto Creative - Edit Map - Select "Enhanced AI"
Select a main tile
Choose the clan at the bottom window
Escape
Save map
Overwrite (!) the map (if you save the map under a new name, the scripts will be missing)

Last map change: 22.05.2024
Map: 2vs4

The AI receives a small economic bonus, but I have also used all the means at my disposal to try and improve its resource management. However, the programming possibilities are very limited in Northgard. I would love to enhance the AI's economy more, but that's not possible with a script. I can't even assign a job to a villager. So yes, the AI continues to cheat. However, I've set the AI to a relatively easy difficulty level, so the amount of cheating is manageable. I don't gift units or anything like that to the AI. Killing a few villagers at the AI definitely has a noticeable impact on its economy, so that he can starve in winter.

But there will never be a mod that controls the AI's economy and completely eliminates AI cheating. Unfortunately, that is simply impossible.

I wanna ask, by : "No starving in winter" U wanna say they are immune to starving ? or they manage way better their ressource to avoid starving ?

Because if it's just more ressource without farming it's just sad

Of course:
Singleplayer - Custom Game
or Multiplayer - Custom Lobby
In game settings: Add Mod - Choose "Enhanced AI"
If you want to play another clans, look at mod description
If you want to play your own (or any other moded map) look at mod description
You can´t use my AI with random maps or in conquests (no way, Northgard doesn´t support that)

@yanezz: For questions like these, the modding community on Discord is the best place to get help. I think that will be difficult. You can only check where the units are, but not where they are going. And if they have arrived on the field with neutral faction, they have already started the battle. Additionally, you will quickly run into issues with the 0.5 seconds per code execution not being sufficient if you query all units from all players, and the game will crash. That's why I have given the AI a default relationship of 30% with all neutral factions. This way, they no longer engage in hopeless wars against Yotuhn and others.

By the way, I am coder too. About neutral factions - could AI bot check certain units type in certain tile, for instance for Yotuhn, and DONT invade there if match?
[NewNet]*Akiyama  [author] 22 May, 2024 @ 8:45am 
Thanks yanezz. I'm glad you like it. With the last update I've simplified the mod to the point where the script can be applied to any number of AIs without crashing. Unfortunately, this has made it a bit less "human-like." However, I will try to write a code that makes all the previous improvements possible for multiple AI-controlled players. But Shiro doesn't make it easy for us mod creators :D

Awesome mod! So refreshing experience now. Human-like Ai. Author hope you come back soon :)
