Great link. I have a fair amount of modding AI experience with M2TW, and this taught even me some new tricks. Thanks a lot.

The .xml files (campaign ai, battle ai) are very powerful, don't only rely on the information already entered, but you can make new entries with new rules. Anyone who has a slight experience with programming would understand what I'm saying.

I might experiment with this, see if I can make the AI function better and more realistic. ...Oh by the way, just looking through the vanilla campaign ai.xml, already found a mistake, corrected it, I'll see if it did anything.

I wouldn't count on that. Whilst the game doesn't crash if you add in new rules, I seriously doubt it recognises them as they link to nothing in the hardcode(for instance i've added in code such pie-vs-cake with no problems and serious code of cavalry-vs-spearmen with no observable changes in battles)). Remember that all the .xml files do is like to various parts of the hardcode, in the case of the battle AI to provide easily tweakable numbers, and in the campaign AI to provide the code for the various variables used in decision entries.
