ReallyBadAI Battle System
Template:Mod Information Table (no map)
This modification for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms aims to improve the Vanilla Battle AI for a more enjoyable game.
History
ReallyBadAI's earliest version with accessible information is 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. The next released version was version 5.02 which was a typo correction for ReallyBadAI Hardcore target files, and sometime later version 5.03, which was a fix for a setup file was up for downloading. Version 5.04, which fixed odd custom battle deployment CTDs, was next in line. Version 5.1.3, which made overall AI performance better along with various bug fixes, was the following mod with enough available information. Then came Version 5.2, which made the game more stable along with minor changes, and the follow-up was version 5.3 which supported the Call of Warhammer mod better than before and increased the overall AI's capabilities. Version 5.7, the current version, was released on May 21, 2011.
