[THE RULER]

nice to see you back here, Alevo !

too large Ts! your units running suicide one by the next.

This simply massacred my AI with a good Celt boom. Good when it works, not so good at defending though due to the larger than required Town Size, as THE RULER said. I'd recommend lower, or if you're doing UP only, using place-control.

I was impressed with the age advance times, and I should attempt going for a later feudal to faster castle to get overall better times.

Also am so going to try the Monk Rush as Saracens and see how it goes with the latest patch!

[Alevo1]

I'm messing about with stuff a little, good to see you guys like it!
It's somewhat limited on some fronts due to the way it's made, although it allows for much easier strategy designing (based on a set of constants!).
Can you let me know what the town size problems are? When they appear (age? during attacks? etc...) please!
I'm still working on this and my new AI at the same time. If you feel the urge to make a strategy, by the way, there is a list of constants in the strategies folder that you can use to design one, then just ask me and I'll put it in

[Finaldeath]

Few more things; loved the hunting mills. Town Centers are placed a bit hap-hazardly though and worth making as a type of building (lumber camps are the easiest). Also lumber camps can be placed closer together; try the SN that restricts building nearby existing ones (the default is 10).

Town Size issues happen around feudal/castle, if you have some forward building (not intentionally so, just one build further away than normal at the maximum town size) on a map like Medium with 4 players you get your neighbour sometimes being too close, they attack your buildings, and your units run in to attack them, and usually die against the aggressor force.

[UnfairestEel]

nicely counters monks. Unfortunatly that wasn't enough in 1v1 coastal against UnfairSteel 3.9 I think it made the mistake of trying to take water and ignoring relics and land defense apart from a castle was it's problem

Oh no! Not DreadNougat!

Got an error message when trying to play with Dreadnought: "wtr.frankwaterboom"-file, line 11 const already defined.

Thanks Promi, looking into it! Can you let me know what civ (I'm guessing Franks) and what map it was on please?
