No more MP for Hinnom?

[Edratman]

OOPS. I'm sorry that I pushed this a little off topic.

What I mean is that Hinnom's strength is its national troops, and as an AI opponent if they do not build additional castles the national troop build is too restricted. Too much gold is spent on indies, even using BI opponents, and the computer choices for national troop builds are not always optimal. That is why as an AI opponent they do not always perform as well as when played by a person. Not enough prime national troops and commanders.

It is also the reason I limited national troop selections and removed capitol only restrictions in the Improved Computer Opponent mods. These mods are optimal if the AI nation gets some favorable "build castle" dice rolls or finds free castle sites. Otherwise they are merely slightly enhanced versions of themselves.

I wonder if JK could correlate AI castle build probabilities to degree of difficulty? That would help AI nations, if it doesn't bankrupt them. (OOPS, another OT nudge.)
