Game too easy (dont know if its correct)

[Postem]

Hi there, i installed the marvelous mod Stainless Steel 6.1. Very nice work i must say its very very good.

Just for reference, im using SS 6.1 and the latest Kingdom patch.

Well my problem concern AI in the game. Im playing now at "Hard", both on campaign and on the battle, and during all the campaign im having some issues with Ai.

The last Vanilla game I was playing was on Mtw2 vanilla, as byzantines, on Hard. On that, at turn 30 i was havin some trouble to keep the regions i conquered, because a lot of enemies try turn after turn to regain captured settlements.

On SS im not having this; on contrary, i have not even problems with Ai factions, unless i atack. After expanding somewhat on balkans, and on all the revel settlements. So I attacked Egypt, Alexandria, and take 2 more near settlements, including Cairo. The fatimid have 2 big armies, and simple stood near by just watching me get all the settlements, like there was no reaction, and it is a bit different from vanilla Mtw2, where on hard after a simple attack i get very very reactive AI factions.

Also, on Hard it is more difficult to see, but on Medium there is A LOT of rebellions on AI settlements; on medium i received 3-5 times the screen "the capital of faction X is overthrow"; like now on hard, the Seljuk were one of the top factions and from nothing cames the screen "the seljuk capital is lost"... I mean there is something strange, because on turn 20 i just realized i was going to rule it all easely.

Is there some kind of reported bug? It can be caused by the fact im using the latest Kingdom patch?

EDIT

Also people, if there is any way to make the AI very very agressive, i would thanks.

We're using Lusted's CAI, (Campaign AI) which he agrees is rather passive at times.

There is a slightly improved version here:

You may find playing on VH provides more of a challenge.

If you have a look at the thread on improving the AI you may become aware of the difficulties in trying to dramatically improve the AI.

Hi Rozanov, thanks for replying.

As for Lusted AI, i think it allow easely lots of alliances, which in turn limit somewhat the agressiveness of the engine.
As I said, the vanilla game was very agressive, considring you are playing with a different culture/religion (byzantine vs catholics).
For now, i deleted the XML that are diplomacy and modified AI, and im now using the default of the game, just for testing purposes; but even this way the AI still isnt sufficient smart.
