that always confused me, somewhere on the internet it says that mod at 0 is loading first, thus everything that loads after is overwriting it, now you are saying it's the other way around :D

Anyway I put it at position 0 in Prop Joe's mod manager

No it goes at 0 to prevent other mods from overwriting it

@Forlorn just to be perfectly sure, you mean I should put it at the place 0. so that it is overwritten by mods that go after?

I must have put him at the top, I found that it seems like the faction on OVN: Obion Island will also freeze。Can you test where it is incompatible? I haven't found this issue on other ai mods

Genezis: No, other AI mods aren't compat. Yes, put this mod at top manually.

Sounds like jade-blooded vampires aren't compat with deepwar for some reason, try placing deepwar above it. Very strange shouldn't be happening.

Madi: Anti-player is when 10 factions declare war on you, not one who cleverly avoids defenses.

@Forlorn.
I mean, Vilitch early game spending 10+ turns, to go around and come at me to raze one of my settlments, i wouldn't call that a smart move. Maybe after he built up some background to support it, but this seems just ultra anti player stuff.

I only enable Mixer, deepwar ai, Toggle Fog Of War，The Jade-Blooded Vampires: Islanders of the Moon，which will also freeze

I have a lot of mods, but using other AIMODs won't cause the faction to stagnate at the beginning. The faction in The Jade-Blooded Vampires: Islanders of the Moon' completely froze after the first round and didn't do anything

"PUT THIS MOD AT OR NEAR THE TOP OF LOAD ORDER"

what does it actually mean? The mod file name in mod manager is called "DeepWar AI" and currently it's at place 67 in my load order, top priority mods normally have something like ! or @ in front of them to make sure they are at the top.

Am I supposed to manually place the mod at the top above those mods in order for it to work properly?

@Forlorn do you think this mod can be used on combination with Incata's mods like AI Occupation Decision & AI Anti-Cheat?

I am asking because those mods address different things than your mod does, and based on respective mods descriptions, using them together might enhance the experience - on paper.

@zecrayz that mod just reduces the diplomatic penalty for being a strategic threat right? So I don't see reason why it shouldn't be compatible

Do you know if it works well with loreful strategic threat?

Stagnant factions: i cannot comment without full mod list, post in bug reports. there are vanilla issues with some factions.

Madi: Yes why would Villitch suicide into wall

For difficult: I recommend SFO on hardest settings

@Forlorn

New hotfix made some changes to build logic of Warriors of Chaos apparently ... tantalizing news hopefully :)

Also, may I ask if it can be used together with Stronger And Fairer AI?

Excuse me, are there any additional mods that can make the game more difficult? I like the way your mod changes the behavior of the AI. They seem smarter, but the number of troops is still not large enough.

Playing as miao, vilitch just spent dunno how many turns to go around the wall, into the mountains and attack me. Is that legit? Using SFO, limited movement as well, so even longer.

any idea why random lords and factions (not in any wars) will just randomly roam the map? im playing as karl and ive got enchantress and bret king almost north of marienburg. any idea why?

im also having a stagnant faction issue. Im not sure if its a compat problem but some factions do absolutely nothing

Never say never, but AI probably finds more use for him on the field

Ai never embeds skarr bloodwrath legendary hero

XSA: Not true, post your mod list in bug reports thread

AI will result in some MOD factions being frozen in order and inactive

How compatible is he with Hecleas AI Overhaul, Stronger And Fairer AI, Organic AI Overhaul? What can be used together?

Drcipres: Dunno, haven't tried them enough to judge yet. I think both are good but I need to test a lot more to know for sure and haven't had the time.

would you recommend turning on those 2 new settings/any one of them when using your mod or does your mod work better without them?

Released a small but significant update.

anyone else experience the AI just not upgrading their settlement building/generally very weak?
This is the only AI mod i have enabled but after the update, the AI seems really muted. I am on VH.

Planning on starting a slaaneshi campaign built around vassals and was wondering how this mod interacted with allied behavior since the AI tends to get massively dumbed down after joining the player?

Anyone having troubles.. make sure you try deleting and re-subscribing to this mod. Mod wasn't working for me till I did that.

Game isn't playable without this A.I at this point to me.. truly that good.

Crave try running both mods individually and see what the problem is. there arent any mod conflicts with VCO and DeepWar.

Thank you for the update!
The Horned Rat is most pleased.
Yes-Yes!!

My game couldn't start with both this mod and Victory Conditions Overhaul together on the new patch. Is this a known issue/Is there something I can do?

I'm finally enjoying an Alith Anar campaign now that I can actually hunt Druchii without Cylostra and Taurox interrupting my thematic murder

oh duh lol. Ty I can't play without them either

LWE = Living World Expanded, your other mod lol

thank you o7

Kriege: No idea, haven't played with anything yet. I suppose both set to ON would be my first try.

indeed works now, thanks chief

Recommended campaign AI settings to use with Deep War post patch?

Thanks for the update

The Lady blesses you good sir, thank you for your service!

What is LWE?

ckc: Unsub/resub, restart your game/steam/computer. Should work

Working perfectly for me, tested on three separate campaigns. Thanks @Forlorn, god tier mod. This and LWE are necessities.

Appears to be working for me now and i have alot of other mods active aswell.

still crashes on new campaign start, with or without other mods enabled

Updated

Hopefully this gets an update because I really enjoy how active all the factions are with this one.

I also encountered this mod 1 month ago and for me it is a gamechanger, an essential, I rediscovered the game with more difficulty and factions that I did not expect in my territory, despite the new AI of the new version, I prefer this one by far, I hope to see an update too, very nice work otherwise, keep well
