Description:

This mod is designed as a plugin for Ultimate Chaos. It will not function without it. You can subscribe to it below.

This mod changes the AI in the campaign game.
It’s designed for when you are playing AS Warriors of Chaos (or Hordes of Chaos if your playing the CO-OP version)
This version of the AI mod is significantly harder than the orginal one and is primarily designed for CO-OP games.
It can be toggled off and on like the previous AI mod mid-campaign to suit the player’s needs.
This mod is being released seperatly from the orginal AI booster mod because it is significantly harder and people might not want the difficulty ramped that high.

This AI mod does not function well at all if you play as a non-horde race.

The AI is very tricky to get it to act how you want but basically what this mod does is the AI will come and get you.. relentlessly.
It doesn’t build huge armies or get massive bonuses, instead it calculates threat levels in a different way so what it will do is engage your hordes in the open fields instead of constantly running away because it isn’t powerful enough to face you (i.e it doesn’t outnumber you 4-1). If you actually fight the battles and don’t auto resolve everything (the auto-resolve in the vanilla game is broken and can’t be fixed by modding) they will wear you down with sheer attrition and weight of numbers, even if it’s just swordsmen! (Playing on V. Hard I was forced to retreat from Kislev on turn 30 after my 20 stack Slaanesh army of decent units was pushed back by legions of Swordsmen and crossbowmen!)

This mod is a WIP and comments and suggestions are welcome!

This mod wouldn’t have been possible without some of the other great AI mods out there by the mod developers below which were used for reference.

If you like my work and appreciate all the time that’s gone into it please consider supporting me so I can continue insisting to my wife that I don’t need a real job and can continue making Total Warhammer content instead of doing boring stuff for money.
Thank you!

Q: What difficulty setting do you recommend for a good campaign?
A: Very hard/Legendary. That’s what this is tested at. If playing as Co-op with Ultimate Chaos Coop I strongly recommend splitting up to increase the challenge. Also better enjoy Lightning Strike while you can because I’m taking it out completely when I get the time!

Q: Why is this being released separately from Ultimate Chaos?
This mod-mod is being released separately from Ultimate Chaos because not all players will want the AI behaviours set for them. Some will want to use their own, or no AI mods.
Players all have different abilities, some like it almost impossibly hard (me) others like it to be a breeze. This way you can taylor the game the way you want to play it instead of being forced to have one type of AI.
