AI mod

[darkfall]

I don't like Ultimate AI as I don't like the battle modifications. I only want a mod that does not make the AI attack me for no reason, improves diplomacy and not an all-out attack on me. I don't like the way that the weaker factions still attack me when I am the stronger factions.

Have you looked through the tools and tutorials sticky's for altering the ai files?

descr_campaign_ai_db.xml handles the overall campaign behavior of the ai, while config_ai_battle.xml handles the battlefield behavior. There are some basic explanations of each parameter in campaign_ai. I haven't messed around with it that much, so I'll leave actual effects to more experienced members.

there are too many tutorials to view and it is very tedious and a headache to keep viewing countless solutions for the right one that can give me the game i want to play. Can some experienced player help narrow my search to something that helps me alter the AI to the specifications i ask?

Perhaps you should try Stainless Steel and choose the one of the AI available.

This is a quote and a link to a discussion that may be of interest to your question:

I strongly recommend Stainless Steel, for many more reasons than just the diplomacy. However, the diplomacy in SS is a notable improvement over vanilla, and I've noticed the AI usually has a strong interest in self-preservation. There are also three settings for the AI possible, written by Gracul, Lusted, and Savage, each with a different level of aggression and playstyle.
From what I've played, I've found it to be a very polished mod, and find it to be a significant improvement over vanilla. The AI is far less predictable on the campaign map, and is smarter on the battle map.

I am using the 6.4 version, but there may be reasons to use an earlier version as well. Follow the install instructions with care.
