Description:

This mod tells the AI to transform Yuan Bo into the Jade Dragon once in melee combat, like the AI already does with the Iron Dragon and the Storm Dragon. It affects enemies and allies. For your armies, it only affects Yuan Bo if you give Yuan Bo’s army to the AI before the battle, or if you give Yuan Bo to the AI using a mod like AI General 3.

Surprisingly, transforming into the Jade Dragon is *not* tactically wise in many situations. Yuan Bo often seems to perform better as a human than as a dragon. But that’s situational, and I don’t have much experience with this character.

But the Jade Dragon is cool to see in a fight! And perhaps you don’t mind weakening the AI a bit for the sake of spectacle. Or perhaps you want to make a YouTube video proving that I’m mistaken and the AI-controlled Jade Dragon is actually better than the human form — please post a link if you do!
