I only lost once on Total War, oh wait twice, and both were a custom faction mod, I look forward to losing again, thank you!

Is this compatible with Old World Diplomacy Overhaul?

I think the key to keep it hard but not super duper extra hard --> to slower their building rate, to stop them from geting elite armies too early, thats the only problem (i litteraly rush tech and higher tier settlements but i still cant do as fast as the AI, by the time i START building t4 main city they already have full t5)

can you say exacly the differences in the ai ? at least from normal to hard, coz i get rekt using this mod (playing on hard) +some extra income(+3000 extra income for me and all AI)+SFO+one mod for a bit better income from economy buildings. The enemy vampire main settlement generate like 20k a turn, all other races are ok but the vampires are on steroids.

Minos, I had to post here to get your attention.

In warhammer 1 I love both your mods. Though I feel the AI builds far too many and too elite armies. Thus I switched to using the AI lite version. I figured this would have all the AI changes, however as it appears the AI is even less willing to engage in diplomacy. I have recreated the same exact scenario multiple times, after beating the only army of a one settlement faction. They almost always are willing to accept peace and more so other sanctions even vassal. However on the AI lite version they are not...

Is this an oversight?

Is this mod currently compatible with SFO? A previous post on OCT 27th mentions it not being...

This mod will make my campaign more fun (particularly with the Empire), which i cheat everyone with some mods (and me) and retard the chaos arrival.. I hope with this i will get very busy, in legendary :D !

Please define what you meant by Vanilla Cheat.

I think you need to make this setence more clear. "if you dont like it being more harder than Legendary, with Vanilla Difficulty" - I don't get what it means.

1. Vanilla Game - Stat Buff + Money Buff
2. Better AI - Vanilla Buff(Stat Buff + Money Buff) + Mod Buff which are 1) AI tweaks + 2) some Extra Features)
3. Better AI Lite - Vanilla Buff(Stat Buff + Money Buff) + ????????????????
4. Better AI Vanilla Cheat - Vanilla Buff(Stat Buff + Money Buff) + ??????????????

What I don't understand is what is the difference between Lite and Vanilla Cheat versions and this current one. As it is unclear, I marked them with ? sign. I think you need to make it more clear, what you have removed from the original version of the mod for each iteration. This mod is overall good but descriptions are very confusing.

you mod no longer works with SFO

- small Update to fix some of later Game Problems, of AI going into a Status Quo, not doing anything anymore

Sideeffects:

- much more Aggression
- less Defending

But i think its better, than AI doing nothing, after getting some Provinces...

If you want to help before Release, send me a Request.

@Solfalia i know how you feel, wihtout his mod even legendary is to easy

Minos,

You've made my evening good sir.

@ Solfalia :

Ive started working on it - but it will take some Time.

Hey Minos, are you able to clarify if you're going to adapt this mod to TWW2?

Currently legendary is an easy autoresolve roflstomp like it was in TWW1,and I'm really struggling to find a mod that increases difficulty in the game.
Radious insane difficulty had an alright idea, but gave too many bonuses to the player. My coop partner and I loved using your mod on Legendary. Actually made the game fun. Any chance to see a TWW2 version in the future?

@ Eredin :

Never ever someone reported the same...

Sounds like a Mod Conflict - look if the Taxes of the AI are higher than Vanilla and if you get public Order Penalties.

Hey man, how do I know if the mod is working or not? Because currently the AI armies almost always have 50% missile units.

@ CeltiK :

Thanks for Clarification!

It's fixed and it's moddable now in TWW2. It's still bugged and not moddable in TWW1.

@ matthi12 :

I dont believe this, because the Leadership Bonus stays the same...
And CA posted several Times that this is still in Progress.

As an Excuse they posted, that Modders now can mod in WH2 the Modifiers for the AI and that you can change the Difficulty right from the Start.

So i highly doubt its working.

This is the post I was refering to, it conflicts with yours. Im confused who's right here. Either way CA is stupid to let this bug go on for this long.

@ matthi12 :

The Slider for Warhammer is NOT fixed, dont know who writes such a Bullshit, but even in the official Forum it is still marked as "working on"

Apparently the slider's been fixed after further reading on the forums. That said, with this mod I guess I could use your normal setting for the legendary+ cheats, then during the campaign change it to say hard or very hard battle difficulty. Correct me if Im wrong at all and thanks for getting back to me. Love the mod.

@ matthi12 :

No - Battle Modifiers are only moddable now in Warhammer 2.
On Normal you will have normal Battle Difficulty.

Besides that also Hard Battle Difficulty is doable - but very hard is just a Torture which leads to Autoresolve...

Does this effect battle difficulty? With the slider broken the battle difficulty relies on whatever campaign difficulty you started with. Will your better AI version of "normal" have the same battle difficulty moddifiers for the AI that legendary unmodded had?

@ teg07c :

Yes, but i cant say anything about that yet.

Hello Minos,
Have you bought Total war warhammer 2? Do you intend to make this mod for it?

Nice mod!thanks

Haha Paradox... they couldn't train a monkey, Lucky nation anyone?
Anyway this mod does make the Ai better, Empire doesn't die so that's fine enough.

If CA wanted to fix the AI they would need to change the way armies retreat/destroyed, would also be great if Eco went back to Empire/shogun.

YEAH BUT CHAOS IS HARD AS SHIT ESP MODDED

@ JessicaStropes1 :

The AI in Total War Games is stupid compared to Paradox Games for Example.

Even a Chimpaneeze beats the AI if it has the same Conditions as the Player.
Giving the AI "unfair" Advantages is the only Way to make it a real Challenge.

If it is too hard, play on "Easy" , there the AI has no Cheats, or play with the Better AI Vanilla Version.
Nobody judges you - its only a Singleplayer Sandbox Game:
Play it the Way you want to.

THIS MOD IS NOT FAIR!

@Jessica: What is Fair? Is it fair if a Flower get stomped by a Cow that just wants to eat? Is Fairness not just an Ilusion? An Construct we Humans made to justify our losses are not our Faults? If you feel better dont hesitate to think this mod isnt Fair if it makes you feel better. <3

IS THIS FAIR?

@ az :

As Radious begins with an " R " , the Better AI should overwrite it.

@ jagerhunter00 :

Yes, i think so, the Mods are just a Recommendation.

hey i use PCBSO instead 10 building slot is the mod still compatible

Just to make sure, when we want to use better ai with radious we just leave the files as they are and better ai will overwrite radious changes, or does it have to be renamed to be loaded after radious?

@ Lamp :

Could be from early Game Start, same in Vanilla, they rarely disband Units, only when they are in the negative.
Should be better when the Game continues.

Love the mod Minos, but I think the Norsca need tweaking. Just fought 3 norsca armies at once and was about 50% missle cavalry. Made for a very unsatisfying battle.

@ Terrarius :

I never played without any Cheats for the AI, but i have a Lot of Subscribers on my No Cheats for the AI Mod.
This is only an AI TWEAK Mod, i cant change the AI completely.

On easy it wont cheat at all...how well performs the ai without cheats?I hope that this is a mod that completely replaces the cheats that the ai gets to compensate for their stupidity with smart tactics

Thanks for the reply MINOS (I love your mods btw!). Putting it first in the load order didn't work either, weirdly. But I was able to make it work by just editing the appropriate table values in this mod.

@ Arch902 :

Yes, make sure the "No Diplomacy Treacheries" gets loaded before - copy and rename it to a Filename before the Mod.
