    BI for me.

    It just feels better with it.

    I use Alex.exe right now. Overall it is the best of both worlds for me.

    BI - Pros:
    -I enjoy the naval invasions from BI, because the AI will use naval forces to actively "invade" your territory or re-take formerly conquered territory. This forces me to build a navy and fight sea battles actively to prevent the AI from invading my land with a full stack of troops. there is no better feeling than sinking a carthaginian ship full of elite african pikemen when they are traveling to invade corsica.

    BI - Cons:
    -the AI, just with the land attacks, do not know when to "stop" attacking once a ceasefire has been dealt. The AI mostly ignores the ceasefire and will keep invading once he has enough troops built up.

    Alex - Pros:
    -the AI only uses naval forces much more efficiently and defensively. It will swiftly ship hordes of troops to any lands threatened overseas.

    -I know there have been some hot debates about retraining. I believe that Alex is the only version where retraining actively occurs by all factions (I've played BI and RTW for sometime and have never seen it used extensively). Personally, I like it because it forces me to be on my game (for once) when in battle. The AI can now field some "elite" armies and not just a bunch of big ones. This makes for some really difficult battles at times and forces me to avoid some armies simply because they are too experienced.

    -a bit more stable too

    Alex - cons:
    -gone are "offensive" naval invasions. the AI will only use naval invasions "defensively" to protect its lands.
    -although a welcome challenge, there is still great debate as to the realism of the AI's active use of the retraining feature in a "realism" mod.

    I used BI with EB 1.0, but got fed up with the silly naval invasions. The idea was that the Romans use this to invade Carthage once they've taken Sicily (or the other way round). But they'd only do that when I'm Carthage. When I am playing Macedon or KH, they'd pester me with small stacks, even though I had been nothing but a friendly neighbour.

    Currently, I am considering to use ALEX, but I am not sure if it's worth it. I've heard so many mods praised for making the A.I. smart, yet always ended up disappointed,

    It's smarter then RTW and BI AI that's for sure. Try it!

    I'm using BI.exe and I see all factions retraining constantly! I always have to fight experienced full stacks with full numbers, every retrained unit having at least 3 bronze chevrons.
