how?
Steamworkshop stuff you can easily trust, almost everyone who plays with AI regulary has either Resonancebot or Bruteforce downloaded (because they're that good).
Old one (original AI) builts walls cheats on hard and above and is generally ♥♥♥♥.
The new AI is much better, doesn't cheat unless you taunt 200 to it. It also doesn't use walls so it's units don't get stuck the entire time (this only not a problem with the original AI because it doesn't use it's entire population effectively and barely builts any buildings).
But resonancebot got an additional difficulty between moderate and hard, where it doesn't cheat and is quite strong to beat. I guess the bot have too scout too because he only counters my units after he saw them, although the bot scouts really fast and good.

How resbot work:

I will just copy paste some interesting facts about how resbot difficulty work and which strategies he is most likely to play in the following spoiler. You can always force him to change his tactic or force him to play a certain tactic by chat commands. For example you can tell him to go archer flush if you wanna try to defend an archer flush or you can tell him to go for knights.
