XAI 4.0 Game renovation project

[Xeryx]

Hello Guys.

I do not recommend XBAI for LOTR, because that mod has a very different EDU balance, as compared to the typical med2 mod. EDU balance such a huge factor with the BAI, you really need to work with them both to understand.

XBAI is not specialized, or individualized. That is upto the modder.

A.U and Christianus. Was simply pointing out that XAI is available, and it would behoove you to try it out.

The most common misconception is that AI are just plug and play. There really is alot of balancing involved in a mod, to get the best performance out of any AI. Actually the BAI drastically changes the game for the Human, especially when they can no longer always win, or if the do win they only have 1/4 of their army left. Also the balancing of the Auto resolve is critical, for the AI, as to make sure losses are on par and consistent what the human incurs.

As far as "hype" 3 years of working on this project is not hype. I do it so that others and myself can actually get their monies worth out of the game. I don't do it for fame, or to rub elbows with the big wigs. I do it because I had a vision to improve the game, and along the way, we became a great team, and good friends.

@mountaingoat, and antisocialmonkey those are totally incorrect statements. Maybe you were looking at vanilla issues. I can show you many screen shots disproving what you have said here with 4.0. Those were issues common to all mods since vanilla.

If you haven't played 4.0 then don't talk negative about it, because it is MUCH better than 3.4. If you look at the forums, you will see great things being said. There are over 200 DL from this weekend alone. so that isn't bad.

Go check out our forum if you want to know more, everything we say works, does work.

In 4.0 we fixed vanilla sieges the AI will use all siege equipment, Oh did I mention that all AI reinforcements (whether they are yours or the enemies) will use all of their siege equipment too, and take the castles like they are suppose to??? HMMM you won't find that in any other BAI.

What about reinforcements acting correctly, and kicking your arse off the map? I have been bested quite a few times. I can still win 1:1 odds with occasion pausing, but any more than 1.25 : 1 and then I am in trouble if I don't pause alot. With Lusted's wonderful AI, I could still take on 3:1 odds consistantly and win, WHY ? there are many reasons.

Try it out, in Soul Firez's KGCM mod, it is quite fun, if you like the campaign to work like it should have in the very beginning.

JFYI, there is no way as the human to tell the Ai to stop attacking or to make peace. (other than to make allies)

You know! they say "First Impressions, they last a lifetime"

Thanks Guys! Have a great day
