Ironman CAI - Very Hard

This mod is part of a collection for people (like myself) that don't have the willpower to resist save-scumming, but also don't want to play on the absurd Legendary Difficulty with all of its AI-related cheats and artificial boosts. This collection replaces the Legendary Level AI bonuses in the game with the equivalent values of any other difficulty level the player chooses. It does not modify any stock Difficulty Level settings other than Legendary.

The mod comes in two parts -- First, a Battle AI difficulty (BAI), and a Campaign AI difficulty (CAI). Decide which combination of the two you would like to use and activate only ONE of EACH in the mod manager. Then fire up the game as normal and when starting a new campaign make sure you select Legendary as your difficulty level. The modded BAI and CAI will override the actual Legendary AI bonuses with the appropriate ones from the lesser difficulty level you have chosen, while still enforcing Ironman mode (no manual or quicksaves, pre/post battles are autosaved so you cannot go back and cheese/replay them).

Choose which difficulty level you would like from the following collection (one BAI and one CAI):

None of the CAIs in this collection alter anything related to the AI's diplomacy personalities, the AI's build priorities, the AI's perceived threat priorities, nor any quest/mission related priorities and timers. The purpose of this mod collection is to simply tone down the artificial boosts given (while maintaining Ironman), not to completely rewrite the vanilla AI. This means that even with the Very Hard Difficulty CAI enabled, in all other aspects of your game you will be dealing with a "smarter" Legendary AI, just stripped of its outrageous bonuses.
