GR AI Mod – A Fair Fight
I couldnt find a mod that had all the changes I wanted, so I made my own!
The AI in Warhammer is easily the cleverest CA has ever produced, and the higher the difficulty setting, the smarter it gets. Unfortunatly, higher settings also give the AI several arbitrary and over the top bonuses that curtail the players strategic options. After all, whats the good of sending in Banshees to corrupt the land if the AI is immune to attrition? Or attacking thier economic base if they have huge discounts to upkeep and recruitment? And worst of all was the tactical bonuses… if Goblins are suddenly braver than Ironbreakers, something is seriously wrong.
This mod elimanates tactical bonuses and lowers several of the AI’s campaign bonuses. The full changelog is below.
Many thanks to talented modder Opposing Farce, whose excellent AI mod served as both inspiration and baseline. In fact, I more or less followed his lead on everything! I even stole his picture… http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197993947208/myworkshopfiles/?appid=364360
There are only two signifigant differences between his mod and this one: (a) I took away the tactical bonuses, and (b) I did not change the AI’s bonus to confederation, as that made them too unwilling to confederate.
If this mod suits you, I hope you enjoy it!
