I was wondering with all the changes you have made with the aips for your mod, will we see a awesome aaips 2 come out that will include some of the improvements in ai behavior you have made for the med mod???

Are you wondering about an Apolyton Pack or original game version of the current Med pack aips?
I am not sure, but I think you can use the Medpack's flis in a default game. This would have the AIs settling more efficiently, and not packing their cities in amongst themselves (at least not *all* the time). They would also place their workers better and grow their cities like they should.
The changes to attack patterns would also be in place, though the use of more ships, for example, would not be in there, unless you used the AAips.

I thought that you might be interested to know that a couple of weeks ago I copied the Fli's (and ps_info.txt) from the MedMod3 to our ongoing weekly LAN game.

Our CTP version was mainly the Apolyton Pak to which I had made a lot of minor changes. For example, I changed the values of the terrain, incorporated the Garrison triggers into SLIC, and balanced all units in a way so that each units firepower is 2 and its hitpoints are 10 (so you can easily see the units true relative strengths), but I had to balance all their other stats accordingly.

Anyway, the Medmod 3 fli's work perfectly. As it was a game in progress (we were at turn 300 when I copied the files) I can't confirm all the improvements that you mention above Wes, however there is a definate feeling of an improved AI, and there is no doubt that Diplomacy is improved.

Before we start our next game I intend to copy and paste over the settings from the the Medmod 3 aip's, the settings mind, not the build lists which I am happy with as is.

I hope you dont mind Wes if I pick and choose bits of your mods like this!!

Sorry about my confusing reference re. my intended use of the aips. (I was rushing to get to work when I posted. Logging on to Apolyton before going to work- sad I know )
What I meant was that I shall copy and replace certain sections of the main aips with those from the med mod, specifically from PRIORITIES, thru MAX GOALS PER CITY, up to and including the BUILD DATA,- excluding all the information from the LIST NOTES on.

I figure that I would then get the benefits of your improved AI choices for my version of the Apolyton Pak, without having to add the new units, improvements, wonders or advances.

I realise that I will also need to check the numbers set against certain units in the Primary, Core and overflow against those you recommend, to ensure I get the increase in sea units for example , but this should be an easy task.
