This line made my morning...not even sure why lol. Makes me think of the age of CIV 4..my 14 year old was like 3 or so. I'd say modding does a necro on Civ.

Just an update for those that follow this thread. A new version of BAT was released the other day, and I am in the process of merging it with a new release of Better BAT AI.
Look for version 2.0. It should be released in the near future.

I just wanted to say thanks for the team maintaining this mod and improving it. Over my years of gaming the number 1 thing which makes a game stale is the AI. I would be happy to play civ 1 again if it had an advanced and incredibly channeling AI. And by challenging I dont just mean giving the AI production bonuses.
I first played jdogs better AI awhile back and was quite impressed. While the changes in his mod weren't as substantive as others that had new graphics, new techs, new units etc, the improved AI literally made it a new game. I am happy this mod is continuing and I look forward to trying out this better BAT version which I havent before.

To correct myself, there will be no further work on Better BAT AI. There is already a similar version called MMod, made by Mattygerst, which encompasses most of BAT with karadoc's K-Mod.
Due to the popularity and superior quality of K-Mod, I see no point in making another version of Better BAT AI, since it can't compete with MMod. I had thought about making a merge of BAT and K-Mod, but that has obviously already been done.
Sorry to disappoint the fans of BBATAI, but I can put the time I would waste into another improved version of BAT.
C'est la vie.
Well, that's reasonable, i'm a big fan of Karadoc's work, just hope MMod will be updated with BAT 4.1 soon.

You might try prodding Mattygerst.

What does the 50 Civ DLL do?
I downloaded it after I installed Better Bat, and I replaced the correct .dll under the assets folder under, but it didn't seem to change anything.
I thought it introduced a bunch of new civ's to play in the mod, the its just the usual suspects.

It allows you to have up to 50 civs on the map at one time (if you have modded in extra civs). It will allow you to play with all the civs in the base game on the map, if you so choose. To get all 50 civs on the map, you'll have to mod in some extras, otherwise it's just the usual suspects, as you pointed out.

I respect your decision on where you want to focus your efforts, but I hope that you will change your mind and at some point go ahead and update BBATAI.
I'm a fan of the unaltered gameplay, and this was the perfect mod for someone who wanted to play the same game with updated graphics and a smarter AI.
Ahh gnome, ye be but a lone voice in the wilderness, but I'll tell you what. I love BBATAI myself and enjoy playing it, but it really cries out for the new BAT version. I'm making a version of it for myself, when I can find the time. Perhaps I can release it after all.

That would be marvelous.
As it happens I'm trying out MMod anyway just to see, and already there are things I miss from BBAI.
I bet I'm not actually the only one!
Thank you for responding!

Actually, no. Your not
. I gave MMod a courtesy play test, and while I found it interesting, I also miss some things from LM's creative artistry. maybe because it's warm and fuzzy, which makes it more familiar to me 
. Don't get me wrong, MMod appears to be stellar work, and kudo's to the creator. But I kinda want my wubby back 
.
Well, I had best get to it then, shouldn't I? I can't leave a man without his wubby.But I kinda want my wubby back

Ok tried K-Mod w/ Blue Marble tiles, not sure what's meant about it's superior quality and popularity. Running & screaming fast as I can back to Better Bat AI ver.1.0. L.M. please never suggest we stray again. Ah yes it's those little things like "Lemon's Handy Hints" that just give BBAI that oh so warm and fuzzy feeling.
