Updated to 0.95 - only a beta of 0.95 though.
See main post for more details
Having this terrible problem with vikings/japanese and sometimes aztecs where it doesnt seem to do alot of things, its like ive got load-if defined GOTH-CIV everywhere but ive only got it with a few things. The aforementioned civs wont take certain key researches (namely champion which is the most important research this ai takes) but i cant figure out why. If any of you guys are keen check out imperial military.per and near the top are the researches and there requirements, you will see that all that is required is can-research-with-escrow, but no, thats too much.
2 big changes i made are
-Getting longswordsman instead of forging - i used to make wartron always get man at arms, scale mail, forging with escrow asap once castle button is hit and sometimes (most times actually) longswordsman. Now it gets forging without escrow, when it can. My theory is that forging is 150 food for 1 attack or longswordsman for 3 attack, 10 health and more bonus against eagles.
-Getting hand cart as first eco upgrade in castle - theoretically its as good as(or very close to) heavy plow, bow saw and both mining upgrades put together IMO. Plus getting it later sometimes became an issue (mostly because of being under attack late castle age). It will get heavy plow asap after hand cart to allow more farms to be built. The reason for this is to maximise on food income which amounts for like 75% of everything it creates/researches in castle/imperial. Also will get treadmill in castle instead of imp too which should benefit it.
Still deciding what im gonna do with the huskarl strategy, it works for alot of enemies, but switching to husks sometimes got it in trouble so im either going to go with the old way and make it a safer switch, or castle drop against certain civs. Castle dropping against the horde huns proved effective with a side ai i made, didnt win all the time but got a few in.
Still alot of work to do but im happy with this beta version.
Also, ive done a fair bit of adjusting since i last seen it do it(so dont count on it), but it should be able to beat Eagles Revenge like 75% of the time which brings a big smile to my face
