About this mod

Improves AI behavior and makes AI stronger.

Permissions and credits
Improves AI behavior and makes AI stronger.

Campaign

The AI will also take full advantage in the Campaign

AI Characters
All AI Lords have been strengthened and improved, but I did not want to break the uniqueness of each AI, so I did not change the types of troops in the AI armies.

AI armies
Now the AI recruits troops into its armies as quickly as possible, almost without delay, and thereby attacks the enemy faster.
Also, the AI has much more troops in its army, up to several thousand warriors :)

AI sieges
Each AI now builds more siege weapons when sieging an enemy Castle. Also, the attacking AI army can be huge.

AI protection
Now the AI has more troops that will defend the Castle, as well as more patrols that will defend the territory of the Castle and economic buildings.
AI Economics
Now the AI will better use its resources and build all buildings faster and build its Castle as quickly as possible, previously the AI had huge delays in the construction of Castles and all buildings.

Limit of buildings and armies
I increased the limit of buildings and troops to almost the maximum. Now the Player and AI can build a lot of buildings and armies. The limit is now not as small as in the original game.

Multiplayer
In order to play with the mod in Multiplayer mode, you need the person you are playing with to also install this mod, otherwise you will not be able to play.

Bugs
Unfortunately, if you play with a lot of AI, you will most likely experience FPS drops. This is not a problem with the mod, it is a problem with the original game engine that I cannot remove.
There are also some problems with controlling AI armies. (quite a rare problem)
Disconnected in Multiplayer games is also a bug of the original Stronghold Crusader 2.

Problems
Unfortunately, the AI is hard coded and it is not possible to completely rewrite it. I was only able to superficially change the parameters of the AI, but unfortunately the AI does not lend itself to deep modernization.
Also I can't change the shapes of the AI Lords' Castles and Add new AI Lords.
I will try to get around this, but I can’t promise that I will succeed :(

Cheats
The AI uses some cheats. I will create a version later without using cheats.

Installation

To play the mod you need to unpack the Assets.zip archive into the root folder of Stronghold Crusader 2 but before that you need to delete your Assets.v file. It is best to use the 7zip program to unpack the archive.

P.s  If you have experience modding Stronghold Crusader 2 I will be very happy any help from you to help. Please report bugs and strange in AI behavior I will try to fix them as quickly as possible.

My other mod
If you are interested you can also download my other mod but for Stronghold Warlords it is more extensive and has a lot more AI changes :)
