Sadly no, but it's strange AI General doesn't work for you, I use it since its release without any issues. Only a couple times after a big patch it stopped working, then was updated and all good again.

Any chance to put this in WH3? AI general never has worked for me for some reason, but this mod does

Used it by just giving it control of the units no i didn't help it at all. The Greenskins under Spectators control managed to barely win against a Dwarf gun line managed by the opposing Game AI. On that note Spectator play the as the Dwarfs was a complete mess with the Opposing AI Controlled Greenskins overrunning the Dwarf army quickly and with minimal losses as Spectator was busy spinning the Dwarfs in endless circles and constantly reforming units.

Works alright for Greenskins, since they are a melee centric force. I would dare to say maybe a Beastmen with a non monster army can also use this.
Personally I feel the Greenskins are just overpowered in battle which is why Spectator managed a Pyrrhic Victory.

You tried AI General instead?

It doesnt show up anymore Im suscribed to it and during battles I hit the shift 9 nonthing happens

AI General III is available here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2799316652

I will not buy TW3 until AI General III is done. lol

I've started trying to port AI General II to III. (I'm the modder that worked on recent updates to AI General II and previously ported it to Troy.) The current version of AI General II on Steam should be able to do everything that Spectator Mode II can do. If you want to get updates on my progress on AI General III, you can check this Steam discussion .

can you make it for TW3?

Please make this for Warhammer 3

Workshop for Warhammer 3 is out. Can you make the same mode for Warhammer 3? Thank You!

Thank you, best mod for this game hands up!

I love watching big battles like its some movie, its just so epic!

+2022
Cannot wait for the TWW3 version.

Best Mod for this game thank you very much please bring this over to Warhammer 3 when it releases!!!

Switch to AI General for improvements and it works in Quest Battles too.

Also i would love to use this in Quest missions.

I love the concept and i love testing armies with this, i do have a few problems, like when the enemy starts crumbling the army refuses to attack them. some Dumb use of spells. firing on allies. throwing flying mounted troops into spears instead of missile units.
Is there anyway to make the AI smarter?

Yes.

Can i turn it to AI general II in savage game?

Not really.. because I'm dumb

I think the title is clear.

which one is better? AI General or this one?

Sometimes, when i am attacked from suprise ambushes i can't use spectator mode. I noticed that sometimes i can't use it against orc army with WAAAGH

I don't know why, but in AI General, if the timing of reinforcements arriving in the replay is off, units arriving as reinforcements may not respond, or summoned units may not respond, so I use this mod.

Wow, thanks for the heads up. This definitely explains why my final battles in the last two DLC's have never worked.

Alternatively, another modder who knows Lua scripting well (not just the basics) could update Spectator Mode II if they'd like. I'd be happy to point them in the right direction. I just don't see a reason to maintain both Spectator Mode II and AI General II, when AI General II can already easily do everything Spectator Mode II can do, plus a lot more.

Spectator Mode II is not safe to use after the the latest TWW2 update (Silence & Fury). From looking at the game files, I agree that the script breaks would primarily affect the newer final battles, even if don't choose to give your units to the AI. Accordingly, I recommend disabling Spectator Mode II. You can switch to AI General II if you'd like, since it should not have the same issue.

If you use AI General II instead of this mod, the command to have give all your current units, reinforcements, and summons to the AI is to press Shift + F10 when no units are selected.

(Technical note: Why does Spectator Mode II no longer work with the latest TWW2 update? CA changed lib_battle_script_unit.lua, and Spectator Mode II currently overrides that with an old file, modified. The mods I've worked on, including AI General II, use newer functions that don't require overriding game files.)

I'm not getting a crash in the final battle (only tested with Taurox), but I do have a problem that others are facing as well. After a transition happens via cinematic (right after defeating the Shadowgave), all my initial starting troops become greyed out and uncontrollable. One way to control them is to group them and click on the Lock and then order them around. Regardless, getting at this point does softlock the objectives as they cannot be completed, even if all enemy units are dead. Until this gets resolved (if the owner does manage to find a fix), simply deactivate the mod for the final battles (or other scripted battles where you might encounter the same problem) and re-enable it afterwards.

Does the quest battle problem exist with AI General too? If not, then please use that instead. It features a revised script.

I can confirm, that quest battles seem to be a problem with this mod. Had also a problem in the final battle witth Throt against the Wood Elves (couldn't be finished).

when final battle, it crashed.

moulder, taurox, oxyotle all.

Second campaign dlc this has happened but very annoying. Happened when I played as Clan moulder on the final battle. Something bugs out at some point, as in an objective doesn't tick correctly. So the battle plays out everyone dies you're supposed to win but the timer just remains counting down.

This happened again with Tauroxs last battle. Frustrating, both in Vortex. This is the only mod enabled. As I recall I replayed the battle with Spectator mode off and it worked as Clan Moulder. Just about to do the same with Taurox.

Spectator mode isn't supposed to be enabled in quest battles so I don't understand why it would interfere.

Updated for the Silence & Fury dlc.

Sub to AI General instead. Enable it in the Mod Manager before getting in the game.

@honvard...Select the troops you want the AI to control and group them...Then left click on one of the two icons that appear on the right of the screen to choose to attack or defend...Then right click on the primary unit you wish the group to attack or the area you want to defend, then the AI will take control of those units and proceed with your instructions...If you want the AI to control the whole battle, just group your whole army and set them to defend the highest point on the map or attack the general...If attacking, they won't just go straight for the general and will behave fairly similarly to the way they do in this mod for WH2...

How do I enable this?

@honvard...There is already an AI control option that works something like this in Shogun 2...It could be better in sieges and naval battles, but it is there...

This mod is needed in shogun 2 tw

Trying it out now, hopefully it works!

Use AI General II. And read the instructions carefully if you still face problems.

I'm having some trouble getting this mod to work, unfortunately. Whenever I press Shift+F9 nothing happens. There's no pop up window or anything like that. I have both Total War: Warhammer games and all of their DLC. Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks! Try AI General II, it's basically the same, but works on most quest battles as well.

God bless you for this mod! It's fabulous and fantastic!
It's exactly what i lacked in game expirience for a long time before accidently found your mod.
I don't like micromanagement, but i definetly like epic battle scenes.

If only it could also work with scripted battles (hero quests)...

Try AI General.

I am very disappointed in this mod. Every time I try to use this mod my armies go full on stupid and every unit just starts running around in circles, completely ignoring the enemies army and continue to run in circles as they get decimated.

Spectator Mode II and AI General II are both currently working for me as they were before. The launcher disabled all my mods with the update, but I was able to re-enable them even though these ones say they're out of date.

wont work with new update launcher wont let it

Options > Control > Keyboard > Universal

excuse me,where do I assign a key to "Save Camera Bookmark 5"?,I cant find it :(
