Great Mod!

I've just installed Kingdoms and Stainless Steel. I was awestruck at just how much better the AI is acting than it used to, even with DarthMod. I don't know if CA have improved the AI (both battle and diplomacy) or whether it's down to KK, but it's brilliant whoever warrants the credit!

I'm playing the Brittania campaign as Norway and the AI is defending where it should, and pressing attacks when it should. It's even entering into alliances and keeping them like you'd expect! The game is actually challenging now and I feel I've achieved something when I beat the AI into submission!

I can only find one minor problem with the game at the moment, and that's the use of apostrophes on unit / building descriptions. I don't know if they've been rewritten by KK or by CA (since I installed SS with Kingdoms) but they're annoying me, is there a way to fix them?

SS do not affects the Kingdoms Campaigns in any way, although it uses kingdoms.exe... You'll know whether it's SS by the loading screen. SS affects Grand Campaign.

Ah right, so all the AI I'm experiencing is the work of CA rather than SS ?

Yes... CA improved I for Kingdoms. If you want to play the SS campaign, just click on the shortcut with the crown, or the batch it points to.

BTW the AI in SS is by no means KK's work - the existing AI is made by Lusted, numerous other exist... You can surf the forums here to find uot everything.

Yep xD
Credits go to CA

If this was his reaction to Kingdoms... SS will kill him. :-)

**~~Echad~~** · December 20, 2007, 04:12 PM

Yeah, even that SS got some still unfixed bugs...

**Chim** · December 20, 2007, 04:36 PM

So? Vanilla is a bug by itself.
to the OP: I suggest you try SS 5.1, it will knock you out

**chris_uk_83** · December 20, 2007, 05:08 PM

I've downloaded and installed SS 5.1, I'm just trying to beat the Brittania campaign with Norway at the moment. It's bloody hard!

Kudos to CA and I can't wait to have a go on the SS grand campaign now!

EDIT: Can I make SS work with the new campaigns? Becuase I'd quite like to try out both.

No... You can only do the campaigns that are in the mod. Don't worry, SS got it's own new campaign - the Late Era one, and the map is slightly changed.
