EB combined with other Mini-Mods?

I'm wondering I've there is a way to make the computer a little bit ... smarter.

Nope, AI is hard coded. Only CA can make the AI smarter.

Unless it is the various formation mods...

And also, of course, try running EB on alex.exe, as I have.

Oh. I didn't knew that. That's a pity.

But are there any more changes like Force-Diplomacy, which can improve the gameplay?

Edit:
I searched for the formation mods, that looks pretty helpful. Thanks.

my favorite one is sihunet's mod.
best of all (for me of course) it makes wonders on alex.

A formation mod as mentioned above coupled with Alex.exe is the best you're going to get. Alex.exe really does make the AI much more effective, though still not all that smart by any means, but it does a let less dumb things than the RTW.exe version does, and re-training it's troops can provide a lot of extra challenge as well. It's worth hunting down and buying RTW Alex just to use it IMO, really does make a difference.

no miracles but if you compare it RTW it makes wonders

Yeah, use alx.exe firstly, and also try the Victory Conditions minimod (makes the AI expand more realistically). I'd recommend the command stars & cursus honorum mod, the extended offices mod and the getting rid of the huge trees one.
These don't necessarily improve AI, but whilst you're modding EB you mayaswell try a few different ones too.
The city mod, phalanx mod and rs textures mod are good as well :)
