What's with the AI ?

The thing about this mod is that i really like it. The units are cool and the seperate campaigns are great and i quite like the feudal buildings system.
However what makes the mod unplayable is the AI.
On Mediukm difficulty:
I have already won the game as England. Whilst Scotland put up a very tough fight and France kept harrying Bordeaux, as soon as Scotland were beat, I landed a full stack at Bruges and promptly steamrolled the entire country in about 15 turns.
I have just ended a game as Spain because its just too boring. Its taken portugal 46 turns to capture the bottom left settlement from the Moors (theyv been at war for bout 40 of thosr turns), despite the fact the P. had 5 full stacks and the town had about 4 militia. I have just been taking out Moorish settlements completely unchallenged leaving taken settlements with 2 Town militia in right next to a moorish fort containing almost a full stack. Throughout the game all the moors have done is fill up forts with soldiers and have about 20 stacks of about 2 units wandering the map. Its basically just a waiting game for me as i train up the neccessary units to take the next poorly defended settlement. I have yet to have been attacked or challenged in any way.
The same is true for playing as Byzantine.

When playing hard difficulty as England however it all changes. In 2 turns i get excommunicated for no reason. Every catholic country declares war on me
i get invaded and lose my last settlement (London) within 23 turns of starting... WTF?!

Is it just me encountering this AI?

I alway play on VH or H campaign, which gives AI money bonuses to compensate its stupidity. AI is more or less hard coded, so it is up to the orginal game.

I was not playing SV for loooong time, but no way you can be excommunicated with no reason. You have probably missed some of the warnings from the pope, probably to end the war ( meaning to stop any agressive moves from your side)

I think it was just my sallying out when under seige by Scotland which counts to the pope as attacking/ a hostile action

First the SavageAI, two the LustedAI
of evidence, the garrison script need to be more favorable for some faction: Moors, Hre, the Royaume de Naples and the Il-Khans are over-offensed while the late era.
This new AI system could make the game different, but isn't the one factor...

many thanks

so did that AI sub-mod improve things? im thinking of using it.

[Hell_Bent]

to be honest i tried download it but install instructions seemed too complicated so i gave up

[VINC.XXIII]

No, its easy, descr_campaign_db and descr_campaign_ai_db you take this files and you place them in your SV data.

All the AI files are in date, ever.
