Devnull mod has more effective AIs because there are a number of added components that make them function better.

You can use the AI converter program SJ made to convert the TDM AIs to work in the Pirates and Nomads mod, which could give another way to play against challenging AIs.

In terms of setting the AI to high bonus (I already use High Difficulty with Low bonus) - it bothers me to lose simply because the AI is given more stuff ... I was hoping to find things (hence my search here) that would make it smarter and more versatile over overt cheating.

Thanks!

You can have a chalanging AIC game without giving AI any bonuses. AIC "cheats" by having separate racial traits for humans and AI (the later gives better facilities and components).

Enjoy TDM, it is a fine mod.

= = = = =

AIC attempts to make up for some se4 AI shortcomings.

I am proud to present, there is a lot of neat stuff in AIC that was learned from PvK and Proportions; that has a lot of neat stuff learned from... and AIC also has a lot that is learned from Fyron, SJ, PTF, MB, Mephesto, Tampa Bay Gamer, Geo, Oleg, GLV, Desdinova, Mottlee, Alneyan, QB and so many-many others.


Call it what you will, you may be surprised but AIC does get replayed (ALOT).

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I have downloaded AIC and look forward to trying it out! The TDM-Modpack will always be a favorite as well. Thanks for the replies!
