What campaign AI is in SS6.0?

[Grand Duke Vytautas]

Hi there,

Was wondering what CAI exactly is SS6.0 based upon? Is it improved Lusted's CAI with more aggressive AI (my guess).
I just can't decide between current CAI in SS6 and Ultimate AI latest version.

Can someone also give more feedback about new CAI, cause I'm playing with Lith and nothing much happened yet..

Yeah i wanna know that as well......

The last time I read about this it was a modified version of XAI.

xeryx could not get XAI to work as he wanted, so an adapted Lusteds file is being used at present. As you may know Ai's need to be set up for each mod as map changes and unit strengths make the tempermental little thing go haywire. It seems that the bigger the map, the dumber the Ai, so could do with more work. The battle ai though seems better than in 5.1.

There may be an issue with Ai profile vs recruit priority. This is being looked into.

I see, thanks for sharing.

What I do like about this CAI is that AI factions actually send armies on crusades and reach their targets. In the first few turns the pope called a crusade upon Baghdad and the HRE captured it.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up Quark, +rep. So is Lusted's modified AI more willing to backstab now in SS6 (it was too peaceful in the previous version) - that was my only gripe about it. On the other hand - everything else about LCAI is just great, esp patroling borders, good garisons and well stacked armies.
I'm using currently UAI with its labels, so I may revert back if LCAI is more aggressive

can confirm this.

I called a crusade on Cordoba - Portugal, HRE, France, Genoa, and Sicily all got there before I could!

So I nabbed Badajoz from the Moors instead.

So can anyone tell me if CAI is not too peaceful like in previous version?

[Grand Duke Vytautas]

Bump, can anybody answer the question above please? I need to make up my mind concerning CAI, will give rep to anyone with constructive feedback comparing modified LCAI (ss6 cai) and latest UAI

Well I have not really played a long 6.1 campaign yet, but my 6.0 campaign was pretty awesome!

I played as Norway, and had seen crusades called upon the holy lands and armies actually reaching their target and taking it.

I also noticed some nice naval invasions: Denmark invaded Scotland, Portugal invaded Ireland.

I did not have too much time to play that campaign though, so I can't be really constructive. What I saw was great, and now that the rebelling factions bug is fixed I expect it to be even better.

I'm playing on M/M and the Lusted's CAI seems to be working very well.

crusader/ jihad armies march to their targets, the AI does try and merge scattered units.

and aggressive - well by turn 70 on my early era game as England, the Moors had destroyed Portugal and the Fatimids and Seljuks had destroyed OKT. L-C has been showing up in Ireland (who never do anything - can they go on crusade?) Even the diplomacy is tougher - L-C threatening me with attack unless I pay them some money and others refusing to even trade map information.

With 6.1 I'm seeing a few more assassins and spies and catholic priests as well.

Pirate ships are also proving more of a nuisance.

(Having some pretty epic battles too!!!)
