Is the AL in EB better than RTW and RTR AL in champaign and battle, I just want to know.

I think you mean AI (Artificial Intelligence, or Idiocy as people prefer to call it here). And RTW AI is the same in every mod, it's something hard-coded that cannot be modded AFAIK. The only thing you can do, is modify AI behaviour during battles in a way. See the Unofficial Modding Projects section of the EB forum for a corresponding mini-mod.

By the way, why didn't you create one thread with several questions instead of several threads with one each? It's quite annyoing to see threads that have the same creator and style.

Seriously, I don't know. Plus, you probably shouldn't be comparing the two mods. Some blokes are quite fanatic here, and your thread could be closed.

don't get angry maion...

The EB teams has try to give the best formations and balancing stats available to the units, and they keep the unitcost, upkeep, and scripting in such manner that it directs the ai "idiocy" to form a concrete direction for their action... And actually, EB's formation, lethality, and pushability (the mass), has been tweaked a lot to give longer battletime and realistic ai (directed) behaviour...

Anyway, EB is definitely better than vanilla, but it was another aspect to talk in another mod... The EB developer here prioritize historical accuracy, so you won't be surprised if the "idiot" ai goes a little better. Because the formations initially begins in ancient times to made idiot general (in real life) performas better

I don't get angry, really. Sorry if I sound as such. As much as someone can "sound" someway over the Internet, that is.

Armeniacos. It appears you still haven't grasped the importance of thread titles. "Al" can cover a vast range of topics, and it is appropriate for a thread title to be more specific. "Is AI better in EB" would be a reasonable title that convays the subject of the thread well. Please learn to appreciate the importance of a good thread title before opening any more threads.

Also, if you have many questions, you may wish to place them all in the same thread, which will save us from a cluttered board.

Thanks,
