AI switches to defense from offense swift and well

[kettyo]

The AI started an attack on me and i fortunately could rush to defend the city and the offense failed. As usual i quickly amassed the biggest counter-strike stack possible and gone for their biggest border city. But surprisingly they instantly regrouped a lot of their units to defend the city from everywhere across their empire just like i would do it and finally managed to halt my invading stack. I needed just one more unit and the city had fallen but they were too much for me now.

This is something they never did without the Better AI. They had just continued to amass troops across their empire and keep attacking the same city again and again (and losing of course) while i take over every one of their cities in counteroffensive. The AI's reaction now was great, like a human had done it.

Eventually we falled into a stalemate, pouring units to the front but neither of us managing to break through so had to make peace (with some tech tribute to me).

This was probably my first greatest Better AI war experience.

Great job guys for this mod! Keep on with it

Yeah I was listening to a polycast before and they mentioned the AI not noticing a huge stack right on their boarder building for several turns, but in my last game with v0.60 I noticed a lightly defended city and built up a stack on the boarder and it quickly got reinforced.

I only got this mod quite recently aswell and it's excellent, Everyone should download it IMO but i guess i'm preaching to the converted here, i guess some are cautious about making changes but i'm glad i overcome some initial teething problems to get it installed it's a great mod

I have noticed the AI is much better at using there workers and not constantly farming over everything in sight, they are much better as launching naval invasions and seem to build a wider variety of units than before

Wars are certainly more difficult and the AI does a better job of defending itself or launching an invasion, civ's that in the past i would have walked over, now resist bitterly

This is a real credit to it's makers

Thanks!

The goal was to make you think harder and surprise you a little, glad it's working.
