History

ReallyBadAI's latest version, 5.7, was released on May 21, 2011. Earlier versions were version 5.3 which supported the Call of Warhammer mod better than before and increased the overall AI's capabilities, version 5.2 which made the game more stable along with minor changes, version 5.1.3 which made overall AI performance better along with various bug fixes, version 5.04 which fixed odd custom battle deployment CTDs, version 5.03 which was a fix for a setup file, Third Age: Total War-related, version 5.02 which was a typo correction for ReallyBadAI Hardcore target files and finally version 5.01: it corrected Third Age: Total War installation issues and changed installation directory to "mods", so that you could install the AI in the parent directory of any custom mod folder.

In 2010 the mod earned an award for the best AI for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms, the crown on the work.

It also has three 'Officially supported mods' in which it works, namely the Stainless Steel mod, the Third Age: Total War mod, and the Broken Crescent mod which all work on Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms.
