2 hacking jerks hacking me and deleting my softwares, I recorded down their IPs, but my waterwall is only 0.5, anyone kind enough to lend me a good waterwall?

What?  You're gonna give it back when you've finished with it?

103.64.159.34 is my IP.  There's only a 0.8 waterwall, I'm afraid.

Anyone got an opinion on the AI when you're defending a siege?

No preloading unfortunately.  There's always the option to buy games you already own, as you can gift them to others.

An admirable effort, but no. When I go to for example, Team Fortress 2's store page, it tells me that I already own TF2 in place of the Add to Cart button.

Have they enabled pre-loading? Something odd is going on with steam for me. I have it pre-purchased, in my library, but it acts as if it isn't really there. If I go to the Store page, it still has the options for buying it. I did however get all of the TF2 items because of it, so I really do have it.

This mod only actually effects the historical battle, changing it so that there is merely one opponent of approximately equal strength to yourself and making it rely solely upon battle AI.  I can't really say anything abouth the campaign.

I've fought the battle three times now (on hard difficulty), using different strategies each time.  I won one by a mile, scraped a win in another, and got absolutely thrashed in the last.

The AI flanks properly, attempts to maintain battle lines/formations, counters aggressive moves pretty well, (meeting attempts to flank it with cavalry by either positioning spear units in the way or a unit or two of it's own cavalry,) covers long distances in a sensible formation, has performed a tactical withdrawal, attacked from multiple angles, hidden units in trees for an ambush, withdrawn archers sensibly when my infantry approaches (and vice versa.)

If the modder is being honest about not messing with the AI, the possibility of actually losing an evenly matched battle has risen a hell of a lot.  It's not perfect, but I'm damn impressed.  Unfortunately, AI generals still seem to get treated as standard cavalry though.

EDIT: I'll post up my impressions on the actual game as soon as I get to play it.  Hopefully this has been representative.

There is a mod that removes scripting from the demo.
I'm downloading this at present so can't say for certain, but they claim to have disabled all scripting in preference of the actual AI.  And it's apparently SMART.
