AI Booster

A couple of boosts to the AI. Used for Emperor and Above.

Grand Strategy Changes

AI has higher desire to build and keep larger standing army.

More base gold for AI and less maintenance in later era so help the AI with he upkeep of a larger army.

Slight Bonus to AI war weariness (AI gets 20% less in modern on Emperor difficulty)
Immortal or higher give AI 15% less from medieval, 30% less industrial and 50% less in modern or later.

Increase AI build priorities for Settlers.

Militaristic and Expansive AIs get more War Agendas (Large Standing Army etc)

(NEW) Removed specialist slots for faith buildings, AI was stacking them full and wasting citizens. This helps a lot
with AI growth as initial districts is not stacked with citizens.

Tactical Changes

AI is more aggressive when at war to attack cities.


Details

The AI gets a 2 gold boost for city center in classical and then additional 2 gold boost in medieval (To pay for the increase in AI units below).

Slight ERA bonus for science for AI in late game per city. +1% per handicap starting in Renaissance, giving 1% plus for King, +2% in Emperor and so on. Each next era gives an additional 2% per difficulty level. Resulting in Industrial for king is +3%. Final bonus in Info era will be +1%+2%+2%+2%+2% = 9% on king.
For Immortal its +3%+6%+6%+6%+6% = 27% in the info era.

Slight ERA bonus for culture for AI for king its +1%+1%+1%+1%+1% = 5% for king, immortal its 3%+3%+3%+3%+3% = 15% in info era.

A small boost to food starting in Medieval and ending in Industrial +1%+2%+1% on king, and +3%+6%+3% on immortal.

Gold boost in Classical to Renaissance 2%+2%+2% total of 6% for king, and +6%+6%+6% total of 18% for Immortal.

Unit maintenance is adjusted for AI to help with maintenance of all its new standing units, this only kicks in on Emperor and Immortal difficulty. On Emperor the AI get 1 gold maintenance discount in Modern age. On Immortal the AI gets one additional discount in maintenance in medieval and then one more in industrial for a total in industrial of a discount of 3 golds per unit. Cannon for example will now cost AI 2 gold instead of 5 on immortal or deity.

Amenity Handicap for the AI, the AI now gets a free amenity on emperor in the modern era. Then for immortal an additional free amenity in medieval and industrial age for a total of 3 free amenities.

Boosted default chance of producing settler.

Removed the science over focus bug also removed preference for culture districts in classical age, kept science preference as is.

Finally the AI standing army unit numbers desires have been boosted.

Increased AI max operations and higher priority to attack cities.

I would recommend (Real Tech Tree, and remove science and culture city states to slow down the game progression.
I also uses a mod that slows down later eras as well. I also using a mod that increase road speed a tiny bit, my less gold mod and extra AI builder charges. I find that now I don't face palm as often when I look at the AIs territory.
