NEW EB Campaign testing AI !!!

**Kleitos** · 09-02-2014, 22:37

so Sassem, you actually unzipped the CAI somewhere outside and only copied the two xml-files ("descr_campaign_ai_db.xml" and "descr_diplomacy.xml") into the \Medieval II Total War\mods\EBII\data folder?.

...well to be honest i didnt know that there are only these two files - just uzipped the whole downloaded zipfile into the \Medieval II Total War\mods\EBII\data folder. (now i know - unzipped it somewhere else just to look how many files there are.)

but mine two are now in a folder called "NEW CAI for Europa barbarorum Test, 30 aug 201" within the folder ...EBII\data - i understood the installation instructions like that - was that wrong?

i found now two xml files with the same name in the ...EBII\data folder among the many other small files. ..well i suppose they are the old ones wich were determined to be overwritten.?

can you, or anyone else confirm that i only have to copy the two new ones out of my folder and one level up into the ..EBII\data folder, overwriting these two old ones, and delete this now empty ""NEW CAI for Europa barbarorum Test, 30 aug 201" folder?

..well yes, backup of original ones should be good - will do that, if above procedure turns out to be right.

@Tuuvi : i only saw your post only after i wrote and uploaded mine ;-) ...so, yes the "desc_campaign_ai_db.xml" right now still in my "NEW CAI for Europa barbarorum Test, 30 aug 201" folder within the folder ...EBII\data was last modified on August 30. the other one: "descr_diplomacy.xml" was last modified on august 23, same as the old one in the ...EBII\data folder (also same size - 16,5 KB)

This is exactly what happened to me. When I first unzipped the new CAI, it put the whole entire folder into my data folder and the original desc_campaign_ai_db.xml remained unchanged. So I think your data folder is set to read only mode, which will prevent the files within it from being replaced.

Right click on your data folder, go to properties and make sure the box that says "Read-only" is unchecked. Then delete the "NEW CAI for Europa barbarorum Test, 30 aug 2014" folder that is inside of your data folder, and try unzipping again.

If you're paranoid like I am you can extract the folder onto the desktop and then copy and paste the files into your data folder.

thank you Tuuvi - i copied now the two files into the data folder like you did, replacing the old ones (i had the new ones anyway in this now useless folder within the data folder)
..curious how the AI works now.

it is not for blitzing...grab some land and knuckle down , build and prepare your forces...after turn 50 things start to hot up, it is a very early tester.please report your findings.

thanks for your work - this improved AI
