Hybrid CAI and Difficulty Mod 1.1
As of 1.1, AI spending and defensive priorities have been rebalanced, and the campaign difficulty settings reworked- now it adds to AI economy without crippling player spies and agents.
This mod is intended to create a more aggressive AI in the early stages of the game.
Feel free to try it, and do not spare the commentary.
Uses a combination of EiC and Darth Mod, with a sprinkling of customized values.

Re: Darth and EiC joint CAI
Considering all you just uploaded was the no forts submod and that trying to swap the ai will result in recruitment mismatches I doubt that the ai being more dynamic is the case. The Eic AI is far more geared towards a slower paced less arcadish game funding economic growth for a couple of years then going on campaign. The ai files take parts from both NTW 3, my own UAI mod and some totally custom bits all of which have been beta tested over the period of the last year or so, I very much doubt that simply adding a couple of files from darthmod which has been in development less than a month and a half can improve the situation. Withdrawing is no bad thing early game.

Re: Darth and EiC joint CAI
Indeed.
What I did was remove some of the emphasis on building economic structures and the like, and upping cost coverage of upkeep and unit cost
The idea being, simulate an AI capable of covering its economic bases, without actually having the underlining structure.
What I've seen mostly is bigger, earlier fights and slugfests, which is what I was going for.
This particular file is meant for the upcoming KuE relaunch, ie speeding up the early game a bit to make an RPG a bit more interesting- but it will also work nicely for players looking for an earlier fight.

Re: Darth and EiC joint CAI
No, you included a single table (building_culture_variants) which does none of those things. It affects pictures, icons and descriptions.

Re: Darth and EiC joint CAI
That's the no forts mod
It also effects placement of forts on the battlemap- ie, no entry, no battle map forts
just in case I posted up the wrong file, I've reuploaded

You still have your url tags wrong, the current link takes you back to noforts (and I concede that table does also have effects on the battle map.
It should be this.

Re: Darth and EiC joint CAI
After studying the crap out of Hedge Knight's work, and a bit of play testing, I have gone back over the AI settings, and have what is in my opinion a closer to balanced spending and patrol profile.
