Game has currently no dedicated API for AI as an result any issue related to AI behaviour can't be fixed. So any behaviour such as AI aging up even if players can't or AI being slower then expected to age up or plays/behaves worse then in standard game is out of reach to fix at the moment for a mod...
For some reason AI doesn't like gamemode/script changes and plays worse then normals... Cause of this effect is not known...
I suggest you to provide feedback to Relic, so they can improve AI or provide official API.
Currently there is issue where King is T-Posing on death. This issue can't be fixed in the mod as this is currently only Game Mode script.
- Can I use anything from this mod for another mod... ?
Yes as long as you are doing more than minimal amount of changes or your mod isn't suitable to be add to Advanced Game Settings as an option. - I have this cool idea...
Create ticket and we will see... - Mod Localization to other languages
If you can provide translation, it will be incorporated into the mod. Current english database is here If you want to test localization on local version of the mod you can use this cheatsheet image to add entry to localization database. - How does the vision work and which option affects it ?
Team Vision is currently still tied to Team Victory [Basically determined by who can win the game]- Team Victory -> FFA & Team Vision -> Any => Noone will have vision during treaty or during the game for any of their mutual "allies"
- Team Victory -> Initial Teams & Team Vision -> Requires Market/Always => Only teams setup in lobby will share vision during the game, including treaty
- Team Victory -> Dynamic Teams & Team Vision -> Requires Market/Always => everyone has vision during treaties and mutual allies see each other
