BattleAI

I just got this game after some empire playing again recently, empire has a great campaign map/setting but its just so buggy and 'unsmooth' at times that was getting to me and it took to much effort to try enjoy it, so i gave in and got Napoleon, never been fan of smaller tight/linear campaigns always loved the huge scale of TW campaigns, but the graphics/optimisiation seem great and as everyone seems to say its what empire should have been like and if it was woulda got 100% in every review.

Anyways one thing thats bugging me is the usuall BattleAI, 2 armies marching at each other looks breathtaking, then all of a sudden they charge something in the middle of my lines, daftness and the E:TW fiasco all over again, I used darthmods for E:TW so was work around it for most part, is there any big or small mods that change the BattleAI to fix this or even to an extent?

Thanks alot.

(aslo is there anyway to patch this game apart from steam? Dont worry nothing dodgy just long story. If its not allowed to be discussed for the reasons I suspect, then ignore the question, if it is, and there is patchs you can d/l then install then pls let me know )

thank you..

Josst Universal AI mod should do the trick

LME has that included... another AI by Lutnik it think really improves it too...

melee bug happens more often with bigger unit sizes... I play LME on normal and have no issues... NOW has great AI too...

both are mods... the mod Gunny suggested is great too

For me the best mod to fix that is the work of Lutnik included in NER.

As his version of NTW is not patched and the comprehensive mods suggested by reign terror and ronchas (which are brilliant mods) are modded to run with the current patches they may cause conflict so probably best to stick to the universal AI mod or lutnik AI mod(not the one included with ner) to be safe.

I am interested in how your copy is ligit but you wont patch via steam as it is the only way to legit play NTW and its also the only way to legit patch NTW there are no secondary sights to patch (not legal ones) as NTW patches directly from steam.

Relax, you can play the game offline and you can disable the game auto patch/update in Steam's game properties.

LOL at what point was i not relaxed??? you can indeed play the game in offline mod i do such quite often but although you can uncheck it from updating automaticlly it infact still updates automaticly when steam is put online (read many peoples complaints of such when using mods and a new patch roles out.) I was more interested in why in having steam to play the game would one then not want to patch the game via steam which is the only way to do it (legally that is).

A simple reason may be had i know id like to see what fault he has with steam patching (it may be a tech one that people could help him with or it may be a case of if it looks like a duck walks like a duck then its most likely a duck
