Proportions: Any good AI files?
 

I really like the proportions mod, I use it as the basis for my own, personal mod (cost x2, maintenance x0.5).

One drawback of proportions is that most of the good AI files (e.g. TDM) are AFAIK not really compatible with Proportions.

Does anybody know, where I can find competent AIs which fit in well with Proportions?

Re: Proportions: Any good AI files?
 

I have a somewhat related question:

Are any of the AI files for unmodded games compatible with Proportions? For example: anger, politics, speech?

Re: Proportions: Any good AI files?
 

There are no AIs for Proportions except ones that come with the mod and few more I made http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Anger, politics and speech files should be transferable to Proportions. Major changes are in construction (vehicles and facilities), research and design files. AI_general needs tweeking too due to the different trait costs.

AI from that latest update can give a run for you money http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I optimized them for low AI bonuses, low tech start and one homeworld. I also recomend simultaneous movements, even for solo games. There is a SE bug that prevents AI to operate big sized cargo - like 1M population in proportions - in classic turn-based movement games. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

AIC AI' files can not be easily transformed to Proportions. The awesome strength of AIC AI comes not from the exceptionally good AI files (they are OK, but most TDM AI are in fact better) but from the very structure of AIC - unique AI technologies.

AIC is a very clever mod and I relly like to play it !

You could, also, take a look in the AI Campaign MOD ais, this mod is built on top of Proportions and the AI is very sharp (the author claims that you will win only about 50% of the time, without AI bonuses).
