King of the AI

[Henry X]

Judging by the best AI threads that I found, I've narrowed down what the best AIs are. Clearly, Lusted has the upperhand in campaign AI along with Snipafist. But what about XAI? Is it better than Lusted's? I'd test it myself, but currently I'm too much of a lazyass to do it. Getting ready for next football season (weight training) kinda gets in the way too.

idk about the newest version of Lusted's, but when I tried XAI I was greatly impressed. I guess its just my play style, I kinda need an aggressive and somewhate intelligent enemy.

Playtesting XAI beta right now...very very nice. Well, actually, the AI is not very nice at all. Very different game than standard...

I tried XAI, it's not my thing. After a few rounds, something like a world war broke out with everyone turning on everyone else in the vicinity, my Allies turned on me, too, so it's more like vanilla where an Alliance is worth nothing and you're in for some chaos. I could be mistaken though as I quit after these first couple of rounds and deinstalled.

I'd like some stable AI which is not overly aggressive like in attacking everything and everyone nearby, actually like it is in SS. But smarter, so it doesn't attack via the most predictable routes but landing armies in your heartland which are usually less defended and defend their own settlements with more than just a general so I can't just backdoor them...
And a better battle AI which doesn't let itself get shot by artillery and long range missile tropps without doing something. Makes playing the missile-based factions quite pointless.
Anyone knows if there's such a thing?

As for me I like XAI . Playing Templars 60 turns now still 4 provinces.there was no turn without battle and couple of times all 4 settlements were besieged by turks and Egypt,first 30 turns not much artillery,but now...My king was kiled by a direct hit of mangonel in sally at Antioch and Turkish army(full stack) had 4 units of siege equipment.Europe is stable going in to war if situation is benefficial,I had spy at France Aragon border and French attaked Arragonese only after they started war with Spain(their ally) and had ill defended settlements on border.I still monitor their movenments and assume that Aragon is pulling back some of theire invasion force from Spain to take back lost lands.Cant say much on diplomacy as for now I mostly comunicate with papacy to call crusades on Egypt and Turks to ease the pressure.
