How does the AI in M2:TW compare to R:TW?

[fallen851]

It's not hype. As Moros mentioned there are other custom AI's out there that surpass vanilla. If others can do it, we'll learn how to do it as well; And being a labor of love like EB2 is for us, we're not going to settle until we're proud of every part of it and the fans are happy too.

Anyways, I wouldn't threaten Moros. I once saw him turn a camel into a balloon before flying off into the sunset... I still hear the screams at night.

I am well known for my empty threats. But don't tell Moros that.

Anyway, it is good to hear that the EB2 team plans on committing to finished EB2, but I've heard that before. In many ways, I felt EB1 was left in an unfinished state. To install the game, you have to download and then install EB 1.1, then patch it to EB 1.2, then install a bunch of hotfixes. Why was it never all put together into a single download and install? Also, there have been a lot of improvements to RTW mods since the release of EB 1.2 in graphics quality (RS2 terrain), and game stability (the no quotes fix) that have greatly improved RTW mods. EB hasn't been updated with these either. Finally, I think most of the EB community will agree that certain mini-mods should be rolled into the main game, such TWFanatic's phalanx mod (among others). Phalanx units fight in a much more realistic and historic fashion with that mod, and with one of EB's goal seeming to be historical accuracy, I feel it should be added and can't conceive of an argument why it shouldn't be added.

Hopefully, EB2 will be finished and polished.

Doh't expect to have a product of the same quality as the final EB 1, with the first release. Don't forget it's still an Alpha/Beta release. Comparable with the 0.7x versions.

Don't worry, I have realistic expectations regarding the quality of the first releases. I was around for the earliest EB releases. But if there isn't an AI improvement in the final EB2 releases compared to EB1, I'll be pretty disappointed.
