EB2 CAI 3.0 testing

[acceptimus]

I am new to participating in the forums at twcenter but I am a huge Europa Barbarorum fan! I only discovered the RTW games a couple of years ago and have been playing pretty much exclusively EB since. I will save my glowing reviews for another forum but I wanted to volunteer to help with some of the testing with EBII and I have a question as to whether or not I am working with the latest versions of the patches that are out.

Mainly this- The CAI and BAI files that have been put out for testing, do they both need to be installed or does this CAI 3.0 incorporate the BAI changes? I noticed they both have a config_ai_battle xml file I'm trying to confirm what I need to have installed in terms of CAI/BAI patches to be on the latest version.

I will say I have installed this update (CAI 3.0) and I did notice a big difference in the campaign AI. I think for the first time ever playing EB the rebel faction laid siege to one of my cities. Then later I headed up from Khiva to Gava Alana (I think) and fought that huge rebel army on the open field, and after they kicked my butt pretty good they followed me back to Khiva and laid siege. That was kind of a pleasant surprise but I wasn't sure if they were supposed to be doing that or not!

I would be happy to help in any way I can and would like to open the dialogue as I am a really big fan and love this game.
Thanks for your help.

Hello!

Two days before I have downloaded 2.01. and I have found the campaign AI rather passive. I'm playing on VH/VH and remember that some mods works better and sometimes are more difficult on H/H for example. May I play on different level? I don't know. I really loved the original EB and this new one seems to be great too but it would be more challenging. So I would like to ask that the 2.01. patch of EBII consists of CAI or I must install seperate this?
