I had to make this seperate thread as it would not let me update the old one.
This AI can be played on all deathmatch and conquer settings but prefers 300+ population Use this with Caution!!! If added to all AI in a game, will lead to gameplay so fun you will never go back. This is my first of many drops. Matches play out very interestingly in the short, mid and long game. Add multiple AI in a game and be ready to experience war, changing sides, friends becoming foes and more. Let me know if more is wanted.

BE SURE TO TURN OFF TAUNT AUDIO - THESE FILES MAKE THE AI COMMUNICATE AND SHARE INFORMATION TO BE SMARTER>>>> WHICH RELIES ON HYPER COMMUNICATION HACKS IN THE TAUNT SYSTEM… If you hear taunt spamming noises that is why. Consciousness in the real world requires continuous thought. These AI mimic this by streaming commands in the chat to themselves and other civs that each of them have reactions for. So essentially each AI can communicate with each other and have responses based on its own conditions and the conditions of those around them . All of which can change relationships from ally to enemy at any time between any civ. That coupled with a Social Economic Debt system built in using the market and trade systems makes it that each AI can ask for any resource when reserves are low and fulfill any resource request for any civ. If a civ receives more than a certain amount of resources from civ they can request to become allies via the chat. That civ who sent the resources can then choose to accept the ally request or not. If accepted they become allies. In the same vain, if one of those allies gets to big and gets an army too large they can turn on each other and become enemies. Many micro systems like these are implement to keep the AI constantly making breaking and forging new alliances all through the game.

This works on human vs cpu as well but only works if you add it to the file of the computer AI you want play against. I converted it over from AoE2:HD. You can also play as the AI that has this mod added and see how it communicates and plans.
You can get there by using the same link from before above.
You can see the performance of my AI that use this IQ booster. I have been converting from old AoE2 & AoE2HD files. Mine clearly dominate the standard AI on Hard, Hardest & Extreme.
Challonge.com - Link to a tournament showing result of many 8 on 8 battles. Each AI is using the files here vs the AI from the game. I’m am modernizing different old AI to play on the new game. I am currently running this tournament to continue to test and fix old AI. Once done will share the AI files etc here.
Updates in 4.5
1)Three Versions Included - For those who requested all the versions of this IQ Booster we now have three flavors included in this mod: BlackPower, BlackForce, BlackLiberation. Try each of the three on the same AI to see how each effects your AI differently. Only use one per AI as each contains alot of the same code just different approaches and tweaks.
Updates in 4.0
1)New Castle Building - Builds castles in better areas targeting defense
2)Better Team Logic - AI will plan with allies against enemies
Updates in 3.5
1)Better Wall Building - AI builds gates and walls instead just walls
2)War Treaty Capability - When about to resign. If less has than 1 villager/town-centers and large army still live then the AI can lobby its enemies to make peace and begin use army as help to fight with thier new allies
Updates in 3.0
1)AoE2 Definitive Edition Compatibility - AI now works even better than the DE, HD, & CD AI out of the box. If want to make computer AI better add a line for this file in the “AI HD Version.per” file. Can add to any other AI as well.
2)Fixed Resigning Issue - Now has better logic and does not resign unless makes sense
3)Resilience Improvements - Now acts more strategically using new AoE 2 DE logic.
Updates in 2.0

Shoutouts: I have to give a shout out to every code, gamer or player who has took the time to develop AI 's for Age of Empire. I cant credit every developer that has had an impact. From Barbarian to Horde to Mexico to Kozmos to Prince of Uganda to LikeWar and many many more. I have created these AI by battling all of the best I can find on the web and merging and splicing them for over 20 years. From my own ideas to yours. This is for you. Enjoy!
