Strategic AI Mod
For use with the Shogun, RotS, and FotS campaigns.
This mod is intended to increase difficulty in a minimalistic way by adjusting the AI behavior in how it builds and creates armies.
***Note that this is the same mod as my "Strategic AI+Tech Mod", but without the changes to the technology.***

Changes:
<Campaign AI related>
The following campaign AI changes are straight forward and were made in the interest of keeping the adjustments minimal but effective. **Disclaimer: this mod in no way claims to make the AI "smart", the goal is to make them "less stupid".**
*AI BUILDING PRIORITIES:
The AI has been adjusted to more intelligently prioritize its building on the campaign map rather than to be evenly divided in priority as it is in the base game. The AI will now prioritize military (so that it can be better armies, rather than ashigaru hordes) and economy (so it can build bigger armies, and non-military and non-economic improvements later).
*AI ARMY RECRUITMENT PRIORITIES:
The AI has been adjusted to be more intelligent in how it recruits and composes its armies, so that there is a higher proportion of melee troops and a more realistic proprtion of ranged, cavalry and artillery units.This helps provide better battles, rather than those frequent battles of armies consisting of ~50% ranged units.
