RHQ Artificially Intelligent AI Mod RHQ AI Mod 2.06

This is just warmonger simulator. Every AI becomes extremely aggressive and will make it their life's mission to invade you at all costs.

Thanks for the amazing mod, really dials up the challenge

However, just as another reviewer I experienced some incompetent warfare by one of the AI in one of my games. It was mostly experienced as them not really doing anything and their units just standing around. Since you were asking for more details there I thought I could provide all the details I have at least.

The leader in question was Augustus in the exploration age leading Abbasid. I’m playing the base game without any DLCs.

At first I just thought he was just troubled because the battlefield was littered by military units from a neutral third party (Friedrich) since he was attacking through their territory. But I’m not sure if that is the whole explanation because I also had some of their naval units just standing around and allowing me to run them over without counterattacking and also a missionary standing around doing nothing. A related theory is that it has been triggered by the fact that we are quite far apart (maybe his open borders with Friedrich ended?)

I do have a save from somewhere in the war which when I load it up with only this mod installed I can see some of his cavalry and a missionary just AFKing if I force end the turn. The missionary starts moving if we do a peace deal but the cavalry still just stands there.

If you think the save is helpful for debugging let me know the best way to get it to you.

I noticed that the forward settling is more profound with your mod active this patch as the vanilla Ai at the moment. I only played 1 round with your mod and 3 rounds vanilla Ai, but the forward settling is definitely more aggresive with your mod.

Also, what happened in versions before: Enemies just don't attack and stand around idle, even though they could attack or finish someone off. It happens after a lot of turns in an age. I'm not sure if it is because of the mod, I felt like I didn't have it with the vanilla ai

AI seems better than base AI. Some feedback: It is more ready for war, at the moment though, on epic speed I see one war initiated by a civ per age. which is ok. Maybe it needs time to prepare for the subsequent wars, but the age ends before that.
City state ai that start as hostile tribe don't seem to attack I noticed but are defensive even when their units are out and about. Generally pretty much stomped by ai civs. Their Raid other ai mechanic seemed to not have the neighboring civs

Super awesome mod. Can't play this game without it anymore!!

Anyway I have some questions.
- Is there a way to change the Civ selection biases for the AI to be more historically accurate (like disable this part of the mod or make it compatible with Baijen's Better Civ Biases)
- It's really hard to form an alliance with the AI since they're to aggressive and denounce me as soon as they met me. Is there any way to disable this part of the mod also?

Thanks again for this great mod!!

awesome mod!

Hello!

Update 2.03 reverts the files to upper case lettering, which Steam Deck doesn't recognize and gives Content Validation error.

Manually changing the names ought to work.

Great mod!

Wonderful improvement upon what was honestly frustratingly bad gameplay.
I want to preface this by saying I am asking this from a place of ignorance on implimentation however it seems like you're trying to thread a fine line between appeasing two different sides with some of these updates. Is it possible to add a selector to the new game menu that can be a selection of options such as, "Warlike", "Hostile", "Neutral", "Friendly", "Overly Friendly".
This way you can appease those wanting a warlike experience and those wanting to simply have some of the improvements of an AI that does forward settle or simply has better attack logic in the off case there is a war. I appreciate the fact that this could dramatically increase the depth of complexity but it was a thought that I had this morning and figured I would share.

Improves the AI a lot but it seems nearly impossible to get good enough relationships to form alliances. Is there a way I can remove the part that does this?

Thanks for this mod, I have to decrease difficulty from immortal as that becomes too difficult with how the AI operates the military.

I like this mod, but how come the Friendly greeting doesn't give a +20 on your relationship with the AI? It feels like it is very hard to make friends with this mod.

Broke my game. I cannot start a new game when I have this mod. It shows "Content Configuration Validation Failed" when I press start game.

Already a night and day difference. Very excited to follow this in the future also!

Love the mod but since the newest update it dont work on my steam deck anymore, says content confirmation validation failed

2.0 version is such a big upgrade! AI settles town way better, it uses generals and army like crazy (I got destroyed by it lmao) and reacts to player's action properly! Great job guys, keep at it and thank you for this!

love this

I like this mod and feel the AI puts up a better fight. Three things I am wondering about:

1. Is it possible to make the AI use naval units a little more or stop sending all of its land units on the water?
2. I was hoping the AI could use the Commanders a bit more.
3. The AI will be "Hostile" towards me, but will never proactively declare war on me, until I tell them to remove their troops from my border in which they will then attack. I don't know if this mod affects that, or if it is in the base game too.

i noticed that sometimes the AI would just not create a settler. in my current gameplay inca is like 2/9 on a pretty much an empty continent. seems something is broken.

Thank you!

I like the ideas of this game a lot but my first deity experience was disappointing. Without this mod they settled in weird spots and even then staying way below their settlement limits.

So i started a game with this mod, now the ais settled 9/5, 6/5, 7/6,7/5 in reasonable locations. Probably using their happiness bonus to stay afloat. As a result they are competitive in evey department and my current game is very tense and enjoyable. Well done!
