Hi all,

As most experienced players have probably noticed, the game becomes very simple once you get a very large realm. That said, of course you can give you late-game challenges after creating an overpowered empire, like strengthen your control over your vassals by changing laws and stuff, become the intellectual lighthouse of the world by maxing your technologies, exit the feudal ages by creating a modern economy, etc, etc, etc.

But you can't truly improve the game's difficulty. And by difficulty, I mean two aspects of it, both on the long-term and on the short-term :

- AI having more complex, coherent, and smart planification of their expansion.
- AI taking smarter decisions on the short term.

The actual difficulty settings only add a multiplier to the moral and income values of the AI. Rather than a true improvement of the difficulty (like i said, i define it as a smarter AI), it is just AI cheating, without any change in the acuteness of its decisions.

So I was wandering if there are mods that truely improve this kind of difficulty (so far I haven't found any), or if you heard about moders working on it.
