XGM AI

[xingjianma]

XGM is a mod that I've always wanted to try. However, I'm currently playing DarthMod, whose AI is really awesome. I've never seen the AI consistantly trying flank, defend from flanking, use local superiority to their advantage. etc. The AI is the only thing that's deterring me from starting to play XGM, because as far as I can see, there aren't many changes from the vanilla AI.

So I was just wondering, how exactly is the AI in XGM? How much better is it than vanilla? And would it be possible to incorporate the DarthMod AI into XGM?

Thanks!

It is possible to do it. Download XGM command, from the sub-mod forum, I thought it was in that minor-mod that it is 10 turns.

Yes it is an install option to play with DarthMod.

If you have Alexander, AI gets even better, while installing select Alex.exe option to do that.

XGM uses a slightly optimized version of Darth formations so I think you will find a similar AI performance to Darthmod.

Hey, Xingjianma.
I think you'll enjoy XGM quite a bit. I know I do.
And as Zarax says, the Darthmod is an option during install, among a few others.

Edit:
Actually, now the Darthmod is automatically installed.

[Scutarii]

I don't think its an option anymore actually, its just in the install, so don't be alarmed if its not an option, it still there. The choice is just made for you .

I was just going to edit my post, after I read Dime's post about that.

[xingjianma]

Thanks Caesar. I'm already enjoying it

Wait, does that mean a new version has been released since I first made this post? Because my version is 5.6.7, and I recall there was an option screen asking whether I want to include Darth Formations...

[TM Is Back]

There is 5.6.9 now and in a few weeks 5.7 will be out.

[zowrath]

Sorry for the necro, but does XGM use a modified version of Darth's 16.2? Or another/earlier?

[TM Is Back]

Well it has^^

[DimeBagHo]

It is based off 16.2, but there have been *a lot* of changes.

@Dime

Thank you for your quick reply

Does that mean the AI in XGM is as good as the one in Darthmod?

I think it is better. I had been playing DarthMod for over a year, and now I am heavily playing XGM, the latest version. Well, some irritating points of DarthMod, are absent in XGM, like the elephants bug, where if an elephant died during melee, you couldn't move your engaged unit that killed it, or if you ordered a unit to move through a dead elephant unit, it stuck and you couldn't move it further, and also the elephants never actually charged!
In any other aspect, I think XGM AI is absolutely satisfying and at least equal to DarthMod. Flanking, defending, capturing the hills, all are there.

[Zarax]

It should be around the same level minus the factional optimization

[Spartan198]

Wow, talk about a huge bump...
