It's not possible so say HOW, because you can only change some values in the table. After several tests my experience is, that the AI is more aggressive and tries more.

I think the question is HOW it chances them. There is no information in the description or your replies whatsoever as to WHAT you change.

Hi DeMOiX, this mod balance the AI by some settings

What it does and what changes?

Hi, does this mod prevent high level units spam that can be observed late game?

Hi, no. This mod is only to balance the AI.

Hi, my problem is that the ai can ignore the round time and than in the late game I have to wait like 15 minutes for 1 turn. Is that solved with this addon?

Thanks, good to know.
I will test the AI settings and share the results with you.
My first feeling, it's very difficult to balance the AI.

Yes the PBEM & SP balance mod can be played on PBEM. You can also use it for live multiplayer (live MP) but it won't bring the right kind of balance to it as human vs human is in manual combat.
And yes, interested to develop an AI mod through cumulative changes, though in the end, we'll want to integrate some AI changes directly in the balance mod.

@hiliadan -> Thanks, I'll try the balance mod. Is it possible to play this mod via internet?

Also, I'll share my AI experiance in the forum.
May we can make one AI mod, with all improvents and develop them step-by-step togehter?

@Felantalion -> Thanks for your feedback.
I think the issue with the bot leaders, is solved with my other mod:

-> https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2133939861

You can use all my mods, they are compatible with each other.

Change Cheat Bonus:
+5 Defense
+4 Resistance

Well, with this change, the bot now by the 20th turn of the game can have about 10 units with 3-4 ranks, given that the player himself also often has very pumped units, this is a good counterbalance to him. Draconic larvae can now evolve)
But this does not apply to the level of the bot leaders, they are still far behind, mostly due to the fact that he does not fight with them.

Now it seems the bot is breaking obstacles, interesting.

We haven't released the tests we made on AI but some of the AI improvements are on the balance mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=661597466 Improving AI is very time consuming so I dropped it temporarily to focus on other balance issues.

Oh, good to know :-), it's very helpful. I apprecitate your support and I'll share my experiance, after testing it.
BTW: Were I can find your AI mods?

Yeah, I'm actually the one who wrote that section in the Wiki. :P Yes I'd be interested to collaborate on work on the AI, but mainly through posts on the forum, as it allows to aggregate all the knowledge in one easy to find place, and posts can be read at any time. So if you can describe exactly the change you brought on the forum thread I linked, that would be useful.
Ok I'll try to help you with the question regarding Seals.

Hiliadan, perhaps you can answer me this question?

Hi Hilidan, thanks for your feedback. I modified the "global settings" in the title.rpk. I found a very good description for each table line in the AOW Wiki:

-> https://age-of-wonders-3.fandom.com/wiki/AI

To be honest, I'm currently learning my way into the mods. So far, I've found a modding guideline with which you can adjust values in the rpk files. The game is very good, but after many hours, I want to make the game a little more interesting. It would be very interesting, if the AI acts more balanced. I've already tested other AI mods and they are too strong because the pc expands too much or spam Tier 4 units. I think you need only minor adjustments to the basic game, which make the AI more intelligent, so that it is fun and there is a strong opponent.

If you like we can collect our ideas and work togehter on one mod?

Hi Gokhlayeh, thanks for this mod! I'd be interested to learn more about the "location score" you mention and what specific changes you brought to AI build priorities and spell priorities. Could you please share more here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/making-the-ai-smarter.1151152/ We've plans to improve the AI and all experiences are useful.

Thanks for your feedback.

Strategic AI Settings contains a modified location score, that the AI will build cities more efficient. Also, I balanced the different diplomacy status. That means the AI will the status war and has in different status the same settings.

AI Prioritization: I modified some settings, that the AI now has the idientic prio settings between units and heros. Before it was the high prio on leader and heros. The AI should now be more effictive in combats. Also I balanced the "minimum spell effectiveness" now not every combat spell should work from the AI and be a little bit adjusted, similiar to the human player.

Please share your experiences with me, I can make adjustments at any time.

Hello! Very interesting.
Tell me a few words more about Strategic AI Settings and AI prioritization please.
