Lusted what the hell have you done to the AI?

[OG Grenadier]

My artillery assailed from all sides and overrun. My cavalry challenged by massed ranks of spearmen! My Pikemen advance under withering fire of missile units! I swear the AI is using Wellingtons "reverse slope" to counter the effects of my cannon! HOW DARE YOU SIR!
Seriously Lusted, PM me. I want to send you a bottle of something you fancy. Your AI is inspired genius Sir.

You can simulate the effect by telling a unit to go from point A to B in rapid repetition, where the points are really close together

Yep, Lusted's brand new BAI and CAI are just wonderful.
The game is awesome now.
Thanks again Lusted.


CHEERS

[Coffeejunkie]

But I read the CAI was pretty passive, or was that an older one?

[Dooz]

What the hell? Talk about amazing PR.

Someone point me in the direction of this magic.

[Sebastos Abdes Pantera]

Think it was a older one.

Where is the link to Lusted's AI anyway? I did do a search but can't find it. Am I blind?

What version are you using? I am using Lusted and the enemy just runs straight at me. = too easy for an England player.

[pwf224]

Lusted's new CAI is great, and the BAI is definitely strong. However, in battles, the AI armies will always come at you, even if your defending. That makes it easy for the play who can sit there in a strong defensive formation while the AI gets disorganized during the long march over. Overall it is a huge improvement over past versions and vanilla AI, but the BAI could use some more tweaking to make it recognize defensive and offensive situations.

[Grandmaster Ryu]

Haha I thought that this thread was going to blast Lusted at first

I'm not sure if I have this Ai or not :o, could someone tell me?

I have SS 6.1 installed, with SSTC and RR - as well as other sub mods.

Haha I thought that this thread was going to blast Lusted at first

Lol yeah me too.

I gotta download Stainless Steel, vanilla is just too easy

[Verranicus]

Where can we get the new AI?

[OG Grenadier]

No, nobody is blasting Lusted. Now hear this, now hear this... that is all.

[ssmarine]

Lusteds BAI is superb. His new CAI still needs to be tweaked..its way to passive. It makes some pretty good strategic decisions on the world map but it the AI rarely initiates combat.

..but yeah the BAI is really well done.

[Gorrrrrn]

The new BAI doesn't always just march towards and attack you. It depends on what units the AI army has.

I got caught in a classic pincer move when besieging Nottingham castle. I placed my 15 unit Scottish stack with pikes and stuff on the bridge and had a re-inforcing army on the Nottingham side of the river.

The AI relieving army attacked my Scottish army from the south of the river. Bridge battle I thought - piece of yellow water.

Not so.

The AI army had about 6/8 longbowmen and I stupidly placed my infantry too near the end of the bridge. So the AI just sat there and slaughtered my infantry with its archers. Meanwhile the castle garrison was approaching the rear of my forces. My supporting army dealt with them but when the main AI army charged my infantry it was so depleted it lost the battle.

(Memo to self -when facing armies with longbowmen do not place your infantry close to the bridge. Make the enemy advance across the bridge and then hammer them.)

Didn't have much time last night to play, but I noticed the campaign AI was much better
