@incata Yeah i think i can confirm at least with SFO, AI became so much coward and become whack a mole game

Happens to my last 2 campaign, the last one made me confirm that, using Malekith i declared war with Mung, at first Mung has main army at minor settlement, when i approached it with my main army, they retreated to their Major last settlement (Mung has only 2 settlements), his main Army is pretty comparable to mine since it's early game ( Turn 6 )

Okay that's good plan, Mung tried to defend at last Capital settlement
But nope, when my main army finally arrived near their Capital last settlement, instead going last stand their last city, i already expect to get heavy casulties

They just ran......
Tried attacking Hal Kadra, i just capture their last settlements at ease, and game become whack a mole game chasing Mung last army

But the good thing about this AI mods, it fixed bugged AI AFK army when they have many Armies
With DeepWar AI or Vanilla AI the bug still there

@Kaleson I do not understand what you want to tell me but in all ways I think UFO already brings its own improvements of AI and I do not know if it is compatible with my mod

I just played 10 turns as Grom on SFO. I was planning to attack enemy city full stack army + 20 units of low-mid tier vampires. Imagine AI left the city thinking it is not worth fighting with 40 of very decent units vs mine garbage early game goblins +2 trolls and a catapult + very little waagh(somehting like 1 unit of trolls and 8 units of basic goblins.
Sorry to say but I was very excited reading decription of this mod but it failed me in the first turns.

Would be epic!!

@sarumanthecursed I don't mind collaborating with others on a mod; I've done it before. I'm glad I could help

Just wanted to say thank you about the Ai recruitment mod you made & recommended,

I installed it and it instantly did the job, thank you once again sir!

Cheers

You & Cerb should collab on a battle ai mod, you two are the best at it i have seen!

Thank you for all your efforts!

No, I use https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2855141144 .If you don't want eternal sieges in the majors https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2941645539 .This mod gives agents priority to imbue into armies but that is only part of the problem, the other part of the problem is that about half of the AI ​​army setups don't allow heroes in their armies, my mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3397844179 allows up to 3 heroes per army (plus does a lot more)

@Grim You can enable or disable the new options, maybe you need mods that make more wars happen or cover diplomatic aspects, this mod is only a small part of the AI ​​behavior

@bushez If I remember correctly, this is CAI_TMS_TASK_GENERATOR_ATTACK_ENEMY_SETTLEMENTS_LOCAL_TO_OUR_FORCES_THAT_ARE_BESIEGED_BY_OUR_ALLIES, but there may be more that influence. You could also look to expand the zones of control or the range of reinforcements.

please add or make a mod which ensures the Ai embeds its legendary heroes, been using this great mod but Skarr is never embed in skulltakers armies thus never see him in battle

does this stop ai from sieging minor settlements?

AI is running around the map on march stance like crazy when doesn't have a war with anyone

Should i keep new AI options added by CA turned off to have full experience?

you can maybe tell me the Task that effect it ? I want to try to play with it

@Pace It shouldn't cause any problems, the options are just to adjust the game a little to your liking. @bushez I don't want to make many changes until CA releases all of its AI changes, I think it could be done (because it has worked in the past) and other behavioral changes to make it a little more complex.

Hey there! Can you give any inputs on how the two new AI settings overlap/conflict with AI mods like your's?

I am already using tons of mods that give buffs to the AI, including minor factions specifically. I guess I vaguely notice a difference with the new settings enabled, but not necessarily for the better.

@incata

there is a way to make vassals and military alliance armies help reinforce when I siege a settlement ? because they always just sit outside the attack range and raid all day

other example i jst saw in my new campaign is while playing with volkmar, all the fking jurassic park factions look me as an enemy even when i did not even approach them or their allies in any way. my only friend is the fking wood elves or whatever they are supposed to be called, and their appreciation towards me is just 80 points so they reject any approach that can go more than economic traits

@vargasguerrero113 As far as I know, as soon as you conquer the cities of the counts you are offered an alliance with Origo (turn 2) I don't quite understand the question.

i do have a question. is it normal that it is almost impossible to make an alliance with this mod? verybody see me as a treat even when i do not attack almost anybody, being repanse origo and martek look at me as an enemy

@Dragonforce Changed My Life I guess so, but I haven't looked at anything. I'll update them when I can.

Obvious comment: Are these mods still working with whatever AI changes they made?

@AETERNA I usually play on the maximum difficulty but with modifications to change some parameters, my recommended mods are in my gameplay mods collection

Thanks Incata - Any particular difficulty that runs best in your opinion?

@AETERNA It could be said that yes and also the AI ​​now considers the player as a great threat (what is really)

Hi Incata, is there anti player bias adjustments in this mod at all?

@Platooni In general yes, the tasks of the beastmen are very reduced, in some previous versions I managed to make the beastmen play better but I removed those modifications since at that time I did not know why some AI left their armies in the cities (and also so that they would not copy me). If CA does not fix it in its next AI update I will try to add it back.

Hello i use your beastmen mod alongside this and saw that beastmen ai wont raise new armies that much (very difficult to grow past 1 army ) . I also use total stats to monitor what the AI is doing and ai adaptive buffs mod for some extra army caps for beasmen . I tried with deepwar and vanilla also and this seems to present even there so i guess its a ca thingy

@R2k They're referring to the new AC AI, not my mod, meaning the game without it. As I said, I should improve that aspect since that mod takes distance from other factions into account more.

@Incata under link you provided people complain about same thing. AI basically declares war, leaves their lands unprotected and dies.

@R2k that's what my mod is about https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3402623051
@ICB789 That shouldn't happen, you could have some other mod that generates that behavior

Strange mod, for some reason all my neighbor factions tend to stack their armies in my territory. Literally like 6-7 armies sitting inside my borders all on top of each other doing nothing for dozens of turns.

Can you please check how AI decides to declare war?

I noticed sometimes AI makes completely dumb decision to declare war against player/another AI which is too far away from it. For example, I noticed it by playing High elves and Empire where I was attacked by factions that can't even see my land borders and know about my existence only because of diplomacy with factions between us while their natural enemies, their own neighbors that should be at war with, live peacefully until strategic penalty forces them to declare war.

Thank you.

@IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Yes

So can this mod work with AI Economy, AI Occupation Decision, AI Anti-Cheat, AI Diplomacy, AI Construction Priorities Reworked, AI Recruitment Revolution? Is it compatible?
And sometimes the AIs don't occupy the occupied area and just wait indefinitely in a looting state.

@cho_chocolat You can use all my AI mods together or alone, each one deals with a different aspect, I don't know what state the Lycia mods are in but I suppose they can be used too.

question! i dowwnloaded this mod do i need other modular mods in your list? if i downloaded subscribed to your entire AI list would it conflict with one another?

After looking around, I'm hazarding a guess it's the AI being befuddled by their faction mechanic making every non-Eshin unit more expensive by 200% and then trying to build balanced armies, but the only thing they can balance is different types of slaves, so it ends up 1/4 Eshin units and 3/4 sword/spear/sling slaves.

@Dragonforce Changed My Life It will rather be a problem with their recruitment capacity, there are many factors that affect this and it is too long to explain it, if you want to further improve their recruitment capabilities I recommend this mod or a similar one https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3042757684&tscn=1747444095

I tried loading this and the other recruitment mod into a current campaign Deathmaster Snickh/Clan Eshin seemed to just be spamming 15-16 skavenslaves per army and getting stomped freely, but even after dying and rebuilding a new army he's still doing it.

Is it just something goofy with his AI?

@Dragonforce Changed My Life There's no problem with those types of mods. My mods address different issues. This one improves recruiting in general, and the other one specifically improves it. They can be used together or separately.

Also, is AI Recruitment Revolution necessary if this mod is used? It seems like the both impact recruitment, not sure if they overlap.

Do you know if your mods play nice with the Cost-Based Army Caps? I'm worried the recruitment mod and this might confuse the AI due to the having limits on army value.

This mod actually solves passive Ai camping only 1 settlement, well done

@onesimo.fermin61 this is def the best: deepwar breaks modded factions and hecleas hasn’t been updated since last year.

@Mora I don't know
@onesimo.fermin61 It's a very personal question, my recommendation is that you try them for yourself.

Hello everyone, a question for those using this mod, compared to the other AI mods, which one is better according to the current state of the game?

Do you happen to know whether this mods works the way it should work when combined with Radious mod?

@Notteger The beastmen have their own mechanics and the AI ​​doesn't know how to handle them very well, you could try my mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3257775344 which would improve its expansion but it's hard to see it becoming a super power.
