Best AI overhaul mod?

[Hecleas]

Hello, I wanted to know which of these mods has the most aggressive and smartest AI.
An AI so strong that sometimes we have to give up the game to try our luck again.
I really want a real difficulty and I want to clarify, I don't want an AI sosu steroid like the last total wars where the AI ​​is stupid, but has lots of income bonuses and remains passive waiting its turn to die

Stainless Steel

Divide and Conquer v5

Europa Barbarorum 2

Stainless Steel has custom AI built in that can be chosen by the user. I think "Gracul" setting if I recall is the most balanced. But there is more aggressive one where the AI will backstab more and be more aggressive. Overall Battle AI is much better in field battles and sieges.
As far as "AI Cheating" giving it income/production buffs is simply built in if you want to make it harder. There's no mod that actually makes it "smarter" other than the bug fixes, scripts and certain behavior modifiers in mods like SS.

Savage AI is the balanced and Gracul is the hard AI in SS 6.4 and indeed it´s the hardest I´m aware of. Campaign AI was exchangeable most of the Time so it could go with the other mods as well, there is also Skynet, Soulsons and Beermugs campaign AI around you might also look at those. https://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?705596-Skynet-AI , {LINK REMOVED}https://www.mediafire.com/file/kh7wrpxo37txqxn/Beermugs_AI_Pack.zip/file , https://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?423641-RELEASED-Soulsons-Campaign-AI-Improvements-1-7 for Gracul AI I didn´t found a link so probably download the Stainless steel mod if you want to have those. Ah and steam doesn´t show the beermugs campaign AI link so best google it when you want to try this. Just some further note Stainless Steel doesn´t give any population bonuses based on Campaign difficulty and these bonuses are defined in the export_descr_buildings which isn´t part of the AI mods, don´t know about Divide and Conquer or Europa Barbarum2, if you want to have (difficulty related) growth bonuses for the AI I could probably show you how to do this. Probably because I´m know how to give the AI growth bonuses but haven´t tested the difficulty counter yet.
