To anyone testing Shadow: there is a super annoying problem with his deer luring where his scout randomly just stops and sits idle.
I have no idea what could be the problem :head If anyone happens to know what's wrong pls let me know!

My gues would be that it's due to the bug where up-find-remote stops working for deers on occasion. To test if this is causing the bug just do a local-total check right after the up-find-remote command and see if it finds any deer to lure when the bug occurs :)

Thanks for the tip! I redid the luring (I had based it on the Horde) and now it works fine!

Very funny AI, but has a lot of bugs. He doesn't chase deer with a scout. Sometimes it just stops developing in the feudal era. In general, there is something to work on :) My AI it has never won on any 1x1 card :) I wish you good luck in developing your AI. I tested it against Promi, it's funny, because the tactics of some skirmishers and 4 spearmen, spearmen who do not improve in theory should not win ))) :)
