The best of AE community work, into one mod. Highly recommended to go along 12 tpy, and the reduced movement supply mod I made to go along with the campaign overhaul

Overhaul of Campaign AI behavior (CAI_tables):
-The AI ​​is no longer inactive, each turn it will make sure to play intelligently and be efficient, to move strategically, like a game of chess where each piece moved is important.
-Now you will have the feeling of playing against a human player and not an AI
-The AI ​​now has a better analysis of enemy forces, it will fall back, put pressure or attack at the right time.
-The AI ​​will be much more aggressive and will seek to conquer the whole world.
-Land Suicidal attacks have been fixed and will never happen again.
-The AI ​​no longer leaves all its armies unnecessarily on a capital from the start to the end of the game, it now distributes its forces where the threat is present and where it wishes to concentrate its attacks.
-AI will read your moves even better
-Priorities for AI building and army recruitment reworked: AI will build up asap
-Much more difficult to ambush the AI

– Reduced Movement
– Overhauled Skills, Traits and Attributes: attributes, traits, skills matter more, but more experience is needed to level up. Debuffs are much more present
– Reworked Loyalty: Now you actually have to manage loyalty before your imperium expands
– Reworked Tech (WIP): Tech has been reworked to be more relevant, and will even cause destabilization and corruption as the state and military get stronger

Result:
Get ready to relive the glory days of historical total war, through a fun, challenging and very dynamic campaign. You will become really attached to your generals, as they will all feel unique, with a key part to play in your empire. Be amazed as the AI will counter your moves, and you will be forced to make trade-offs. Total War at its finest!
