Let’s face it, the AI sucks ass especially in battles. This mod aims to remedy this with 3 changes.
1) Pikes: Check Alternative Pikes for the basic rundown of changes. This mod focuses the pikes on being very defense oriented. You will immediately notice their stats in game are drastically different with an average melee defense hovering somewhere around fifty and an average attack of 1. This has the effect of making them very good for holding and getting a moderate amount of kills on mid-tier units but vulnerable to missiles and decent infantry. Regardless of what is attacking them, they will likely hold a long time unless flanked or shot to death. They will also fair better than hoplites against two-handers and high armor-penetrating units.
2) Hoplites & Shieldwalls: Pretty much the same as Kam’s mod with a few minor tweaks.
3) Unit speed: All infantry units are centered around having 3 speed. There is still variation and missiles are faster. Raising and lowering the speed on many units, especially hoplites, pikes, and heavy infantry creates a faster and more cohesive AI force as half their force wont be lagging behind as they try to bumrush you.
That’s it. This is currently versions 1.0 so let me know if there are any problems or suggestions.
