Installation
Download and execute the uai_setup.exe. After successful installation run the ultimateAI_launch.bat from your installation folder.
Using only the AI files with another mod
If you only want to update your campaign AI (without using the other features), use the following files from the UAI installation folder:
\ultimateAI\data\
descr_character.txt (only necessary for increased movement)
descr_faction_standing.txt
descr_sm_factions.txt
descr_campaign_ai_db.xml
descr_campaign_db.xml
descr_diplomacy.xml
\ultimateAI\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\
descr_strat.txt
descr_win_conditions.txt
campaign_script.txt (money script for the AI, settlement tax for human player)
If you have your own descr_strat.txt, you need to merge the changes manually. Most important are the AI labels and profiles, as well as the initialization part of the diplomacy at the end of the file! Without these changes UAI won't work correctly!
