Description This mod works with both Planetary Annihilation and Planetary Annihilation Titans. It introduces a number of new personalities for the vanilla AI based on the Absurd difficulty level. These personalities will work with faction mods such as Legion. Installing the Queller AI will not interfere with this mod. Installation This mod can be installed via the in-game Community Mod manager. Personalities Aggressive More willing to attack. Less likely to retreat. Air Focuses almost exclusively on air. Bot Focuses almost exclusively on bots. Cautious Requires better odds before attacking. More likely to retreat. Defender Prefers non-factory structures. Economist Tries to ensure a smooth running economy. Fabber Uses more basic fabbers. Fast Tech Techs to T2 as quickly as possible. Foundation Uses the Galactic War Foundation boss personality. Land Focuses almost exclusively on land units. Legonis Machina Uses the Galactic War Legonis Machina boss personality. Low Tech Remains at T1 for longer. Naval Focuses more heavily on naval. Orbital Puts more emphasis on an orbital presence. Random Picks a random personality. Revenants Uses the Galactic War Revenants boss personality. Rush Focuses on T1 and bots. More likely to attack. Less likely to retreat. Swarm Prefers factories over other structures. Synchronous Uses the Galactic War Synchronous boss personality. Tank Focuses almost exclusively on vehicles. Turtle Favours a much higher ratio of fabbers to factories. Requires vastly superior numbers before attacking. Far more likely to retreat. FAQ Q. Can I use these personalities with lower difficulties? A. No. In game terms all the difficulty levels are in fact personalities. These personalities are modifications of the Absurd personality. Q. Can I use an AI mod like Queller? A. Yes, though these personalities will use the vanilla brain rather than Queller. The two mods will not interfere with one another. Q. Does this replace Queller? A. No, this is completely separate. It's simply a way for you to better tailor your experience with the vanilla AI. It also works with PA Classic, which Queller does not. Q. Will this work in multiplayer? A. Yes. Q. Does this affect Galactic War? A. No. Use the Galactic War AI Overhaul mod for that. Q. How can I provide feedback? A. Please use this thread. Incompatible mods I'm not aware of any.
