AI Skill Selection Tweaks

Description
NEW! Now makes use of the ability to delete table records which was added in game patch 6.3. This makes the mod at least 6.3% better!

Hundreds of tweaks, fixes and additions that improve how the AI picks skills for lords and heroes. This should lead to a bit more challenge when fighting against high level characters. And hopefully to more fun battles as well!

Take a look at the images to get an idea of what the mod does. They are a bit outdated but still useful.
The characters in the images were leveled and afterwards confederated with console commands. There’s a good amount or randomness involved in skill selection. For those reasons you may get somewhat different results each campaign.
And don't expect miracles!

In short, the major changes in the mod are:
  • Yellow/Personal/Miscellaneous skills: The AI will avoid skills like minor increases in spell resist, charge bonus, leadership, leadership aura size. The most powerful skills will be heavily prioritized.
  • Red/Army skills: The AI will invest more points into this line. It will get one to three skills in the first block and at least one in the second block.
  • Blue/Campaign skills: The AI will get fewer skills here because quite a few of them are weak or outdated.
  • Magic: The AI will focus more on spells that it’s decent at using. Lords will pick slightly fewer spells than heroes because they have many other useful skills.
  • The AI will progress through the skill lines faster because of additional skill utilization hints and skill synergies and get the central and final skill earlier.

Installation and compatibility:
Can be installed and uninstalled at any time. Obviously most effective when used on a new campaign.
Compatible with mods that give additional skill points or add a couple new skills.
Not recommended to be used with SFO or other overhauls that add and change a lot of skills.

I'm going to update the mod once 6.3 is out for everyone.

Yes, I think so.

Does this apply to the auto learn skills toggle in your character?

epic mod, thank you!

Most likely. The patch makes no changes to this AI system as far as I can tell.
But I will take a look once it's out.

Will this work with the new ai updates?

No, why would it need one?

Does this need an update?
