My fix should take care of the problem you describe. I hope. ;) That's basically what I noticed as well.

The mod tools are not really supported. They'll probably improve but they're not designed for the casual user. They're the tools we use and we are familiar with their foibles.

[quote who="scifi1950" reply="1" id="3302412"]I have a pretty good game going on the Anthy's map (Custom Sov & map settings changed to allow denser resources), but I'll start a new game & give this a try. I'll let you know if I notice anything different (good or bad). BTW - Is this just for the Faction AI or did you make changes in the monster/UPC AI also? [/quote] It's everything. And you don't need to start a

For those of you interested in seeing in progress AI updates I've been working on over the holiday you can try the latest build here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8051911/FE-119frog.zip Just unzip the EXE into your FE directory. The biggest changes should be on larger maps. However, be on the look out for longer turn times since I've had the AI do more analysis to try to make it smarter.</

I've been working on the AI today to do better on larger maps. It'll make the turns take a bit longer but I think I've made substantial progress.

One other thing I would add: Whenever you see something you think the AI isn't consistently doing, like what Nick mentioned, go ahead and list it. At the very least, I can look into it better.

Oh man! An AI discussion and I almost missed it. We're closed for the holidays. I can assure you that the AI does, in fact, try to do all of the things that the OP says. Also, like Arzon above me mentions, yes, AIs get weaker the larger the map size. That's not just in FE but in every strategy game including Civilization, MOO, you name it. That's because of "The traveling salesman proble

There are some high level earth spells that do this. The AI only started to intelligently do this kind of thing in v1.1.

That is odd. Try downloading DirectX 9C here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34429 It should be included with your Vista setup. But since it may not be, try that link.

Thanks! It was something similar to this that was the issue that caused the AI to not defend its cities as well as it should. It checks to see if the city's defense is strong enough still if that unit leaves. If it is, then it posts a message to leave. The problem was, as soon as it felt it was strong enough, all the other units would leave too because of the timing between it checking for the unit to leave and the time it actually left.

Looking at that screenshot, I wonder... Here's what I'm thinking: When a player trades knowledge, it posts a message to the internal server to reduce the amount of knowledge it has. I am thinking that when the AI trades amongst itself, in a given turn, that that knowledge doesn't get subtracted because the message hasn't been processed. I'd have to play around with it to see if that's the case. It trades knowledge with you the

If I had to rate them I'd say: Fellowship: 10/10 Two Towers: 9/10 Hobbit: 9/10 Return of the King: 8/10 Is that rating of movies or books?

thanks!

You know, it might have been pointed out but I didn't know about it. I always thought it was random, not hard coded to any particular path. I'll whine to Derek about changing it. I'm pretty good at that.

Thanks! Let us know what you'd like to see next! I'm personally lobbying for a "Lore Pack" which would introduce some new quests, equipment, goodie huts and items to the world.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="1" id="3296537"]I have seen references to choke points in stamps as well. What are they?[/quote] I'm not really sure. I know that I've asked to reduce 1 tile bridge type things before to keep path finding from being crazy.

Hmm. 1.12? Sounds like witchcraft to me!

In the first game he dual wielded and attacked super fast, had like 10 attacks a turn, but the combat was a lot different in that game. He was my favorite character in the book. Dual wielding Nym with 90 initiative.. Why isn't
