Adjusted AI Aggression Mod

Adjusted AI Aggression Mod

This mod is a slight change to the game that increases the aggression of the AI in the game.

With the addition of aggression levels when starting a new galaxy, one can find that the experience of the game is now better tailored to your personal interests when it comes to challenge and fun. However, there are those who find a more aggressive artificial intelligence to be more engaging and interesting to their experience. For that reason, I’ve decided to create the Adjusted AI Aggression mod. If you want a more aggressive opponent, then I’m sure you will enjoy this!

This mod adjusts the Base, no_colony and boxed_in sections of the Defines file. Standard aggression is a base of 25, with low aggression reducing it to 12.5 and high increasing it to 50, depending on what you choose when you create your galaxy. Boxed In standard is 4 while No Colony base is 2, both of these being multipliers to the base aggression level. With this mod, base aggression is doubled to 50. Thus, low aggression would be adjusted to 25 while high is adjusted to 100, with Boxed In changed to 5 while No Colony is changed to 3. This makes for a somewhat more challenging experience.

So, to put it clearly:
– Base Aggression Doubled from 25 to 50.
– Boxed In Multiplier changed from 4 to 5.
– No Colony Multiplier changed from 2 to 3.

PLEASE NOTE: This mod IS NOT to be used with my other mod ‘Extreme AI Aggression’. They alter the same lines of the Defines file and will directly conflict with one another, causing problems or the game to crash (as it is wont to do when mods clash).

This mod is 1.5 compatible.

– AI obviously uses this mod, as it’s the entire point.
– The mod modifies the Defines.lua of the game to alter the Base, Boxed_In and No_Colony sections of the NAI part of the file.
– This mod is NOT Ironman and Achievement compatible, at least I don’t think so, so please use at your own risk if you are playing achievement and Ironman games.

Enjoy the mod! If you run into any issues, please feel free to mention them, but I’ve extensively tested this and it should work just fine. Thank you for choosing the Adjusted AI Aggression mod!
