AI Item strat: Give them bane venom charms. Last time I checked they randomly distributed them amongst their mages and other non stealthy commanders. I have seen them give random melee/ranged weapons to old frail mages, boots of strength to giant leaders - pretty sure I've even seen path booster items like skull staff on guys with no death magic. Don't know if that's because they just picked them up after the AI suicided its mages somewhere, but it's still stupid.

That is pretty stupid. I wonder how much it would affect the game to have a database of every unit in the game (3000?) and every item in the game (500?) and put just a plus or minus on each item? Of course it would not afect the MP games much but the SP games would suck. (isn't that what we are trying to fix?)

Regarding AI nations: The main people who have expressed interest in AI nations are Wikd and Gandalf. I haven't seen either of them do anything about it.

Actually, the things I listed came from G's threads on the subject. Seems like he has done the most to list the things that affect the AI games even though he drags most of it out of the experts. And you cannot ignore what his mods and maps have done for SP/AI gaming.
And I have done my part. Kicking the experts in the *** is my contribution to the cause. I am very good at it.

Even if you could consider my criticism of the supposedly good AI 'complaining', the reason I haven't made lots of AI nations is that there isn't any fun playing against the kind of nation the AI would be good with - ie unlimited gems, unlimited gold, troops that don't need to eat, all troops having glamour etc.

Aww crap! Complain that the AI uses none of it. Then say that it would be no fun to play against an AI that has tons of it. All this from someone who does not consider SP worth playing anyway. I am sure that someone can mod a nation someplace in the middle. Too powerful for a human player to play in a game with but perfect as a harder enemy in a game.

Btw, I made an AI mictlan after Gandalf started a thread talking about how the nations could be improved for AI. No-one had any interest in it.

Link?
Im good at lurking and searching. I just tried many combinatins and could not find it. Is it in your mod list?

If you want AI nations make them. From a technical standpoint it's easy.

Oh yeah (BS) it is one of the easiest things in the game. For anyone who is expert in Dom3 modding, and expert in the faults of the AI, and wants to be the one to put their name on it which seems to be the one thing we cannot get Gandolf to do.
