Is it possible to reduce units speed on roads? Units move by 2 tiles per turn on grass, but when they enter roads it seems that they enter railroad train or fantastic escalator of some kind and move at incredible 4x speed.
[quote who="parrottmath" reply="108" id="3419963"]It would be an attempt to reduce the AI's immediate interest in the newly available territory. It would also deter overcrowding of cities in the new area.[/quote] NO! Instead I propose that AI pioneers should follow human player's armies if they just move to wildlands. AI should also block tight passages so that human player could not get through.

Your sovereign starts with 2.[/quote] I tried to do this in my Patchwork mod https://forums.elementalgame.com/450250/page/1/ but it doesn't work. Sovereigns and Heroes have different scripts that spawn them. It's easy to add additional starting units to Sovereign, but Heroes spawn alone. At the s
[quote quoting="post"] If there is an issue here I would like to suggest some possible options for fixes... -Decrease the cost of basic champion gear so in general champions are better equipped. -Make the magic tech tree unlock some basic magical only champion items. These can be expensive. This would make it easier to equip multiple champions with better weapons and items then normal units. Some existing items could be split between champion

Something that would do -3 unrest and some way to make the AI use it in place of some other trait that it is using now?[/quote] So you want to use this trait too? AI will never be as good as player. You have to decide what you want Challenging AI but with chets, or equal rights to human player and AI, no cheats... We already have this second variant. All proposals to "change AI" I think are ve
[quote who="joasoze" reply="1" id="3413611"] When you get leatherworking, you can build skeletons that split when they kill a unit. Up to 6 units. Its awesome.[/quote] This feature is more like a cheat for human player. It kills all interest. Player feeds enemies to his armies and they have 6 soldiers in a group earle in the game. No AI opponent can stand against this cheat. No need to research highly expensive Logistics - just cheat AI and win. I suggest everybody to find this
[quote who="Primal_Savage" reply="60" id="3419656"] Here is something that needs to be looked at: AI builds a new city. 1. Unrest is unbelievably high. (Should reassess whether building this new city is a good thing) 2. Tries to build a unit that needs 50 turns or so! (Should reassess and build unrest control buildings) [/quote] In my mod AI only units are very cheap and easy to build, they also reduce unre

Note that warrior (and assasin) have traits which require a certain weapon. AI may choose a trait which doesn't benefit his weapon. Bruiser, Spearman, Axeman, Swordsman (assasin's rain of arrows) are all useless to AI. Feel pity for AI, unite these bonuses in one, call it ProfessionalFighter. (Assign Rain of arrows to bows. This would be much more useful to AI. Lookfor my other suggestions at https://forums.elementalgame.com/450250/page/1/

[quote who="willie sanderson" reply="20" id="3418003"]I do, scarce resources makes for more competion to try to get them. [/quote] You all like scarce resources just until you suffer heavy battle causalties. What will you say when your 200-metal, 100-crystal elites will die like chicken every battle? So, let it be - have scarce resources. My phylosophy about cheats is simple: whether you cheat or no, you should have a hard time.

Pretty anti-climatic way to end things I have to say. I didn't get to compare mana for obvious reasons.[/quote] This is a vital crash. Its vital because S/L can't help. I also saw it rare

They also are mounted, capable to move quickly to a safe location and shoot at enemies. They also have fire/cold attack, so they smite even heavily armored enemies. Ram Horn makes it even easier. But now I test my mod with boosted AI
Thank you for feedback. I have almost finished my mod which improves AI as much as possible and will upload it in a week or so. I made all starting points provide good tiles. Hero classes are rebalanced to make them all equally useful. For example, Commander can boost Attack for all his army. Defender can earlier learn abilities that defend his army. And so on. Garrisons reduce unrest. AI is more agressive and better choses his targets for war. AI makes more armies and equips them bet
