Improved AI mod needed

**Friendofdog** · January 20, 2010, 07:06 PM

New to this forum and to M2TW but long-time fan of the TW franchise. All I have ever needed from a mod is better AI, both on campaign map (logical diplomacy, more aggressive enemy behaviour, other factions put in a little effort to win) and in battles (enemy will use different formations, will try and flank you, won't charge with his general), making the game more challenging and playable. I'm sure this request has been made many times before but I haven't seen it explicitly on this forum.

Can anyone recommend a mod that will improve AI without actually changing anything else in the grand campaign?

I was in the exact same position a month or so ago. I read what i could on these lovely forums then decided to go for Stainless Steel. I know its a cliché to say this on these forums but ive been playing it ever since and it really is superb couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The AI in a battle will at least try and flank/hit your weak spots and there does at least seem to be some kind of method to their madness, certainly 10x better than Vanilla. Diplomacy is still a bit iffy if you ask me, but still a massive improvement of the chaos that is Vanilla.
I know you asked for one that doesnt change the campaign much, but i used to think that as well, then i played SS

I'll second the Stainless Steel recommendation.

Consider trying it with the RR/RC pack that pushes it to version 6.2. I'm finding it real hard to play vanilla after trying that for some time.
