AI progress?

[Hax]

Man, oh man.

I was so happy when EB 1.0 was released. When it finally worked I took up my arms as the SPQR, and started a campaign at H/M (which worked awesome with 0.81)

Fourty turns later in the game I couldn't resist the urge of toggle_fow, and to my surprise I only saw that the Casse, Ptolemaioi and the Koinon Hellenon had expanded. Meagerly.

Huh, odd. Usually I don't play at VH/M, because the AI doesn't expand as much, and I heard someone say that if you put it on H (Campaign difficulty) the AI factions wóuld expand. Sadly, not in 1.0.

I still kept going on with the Romani, taking cities and finally destroying the Epeirotes, but seriously. I liked to be challenged, and with almost no expansion from the AI, I hardly get the feeling of being fast-paced.

The EB FAQ says VH/M is the best option, but does anyone have advice on what the best difficulty is if you want a good AI that expands?

If you can, use BI. It works great for me. In my current campaign all factions are expanding, except for Casse. (The date is 250 BC)

I'm playing H/M and it really is the best. 40 turns is just 10 years, just give it time. There is really good AI expansion going on in all the posts of campaigns here and at the .org so it'll take a little time but they get going good. Also, BI does seem to help.

For me it is fine, EB is to flavoured turn by turn and if the AI expands too fast there will be nothing for me to conquer only a game of battle after battle.

how do you get BI into EB 1.0. I've had problems getting to work on the new version

start your campaign with rtw (so you can configure it), then change the shortcut from pointing at the rtw exe to bi. that's it. they're save compatible.
