I'm afraid it is not. It is also more tweaks to AI weakpoints than a full separate AI - unfortunately the core AI code is not available for modders to change.

There are ways to change the game in other ways besides how the AI plays it to try and mitigate its weaknesses. For example, the AI can be inefficient in how it uses the black market, so we give it a reduction to purchase prices.

The way we went about doing it involves some things that are not present in the original game, so it only works with E4X compatible mods.

It would take at least some about of manual effort to port this to vanilla.

Ultimate Balance Mod by Zabik2 et. al. features drastic balance improvements that cardinally affect AI's behavior. In fact, a separate multiplayer version with nerfed AI had to be made because Vicious AI (the most high difficulty AI, which replaces human players in MP once they leave) reportedly becomes unstoppable under the new balance. However, the last patch (1.4.1) doesn't feature a separate singleplayer version with "fully unlocked" AI.

Enhanced 4X Mod version 1.87 has been released on Moddb. Change log is in the description.

Are you sure you're using an updated copy of the minimods? You need to delete the old minimods when a new update comes out. Some of these issues have been reported by people who downloaded a new version of E4X but didn't get the newest minimods.

Hi, I'm a new member. I also just downloaded [Mod] Enhanced 4X Mod when I found out about this game here. But I have a problem that this mod is not compatible with my machine. Should I delete it and then reinstall it? Can help me explain here. Thank you!

Hi, thanks for the awesome mod! Just wanted to mention a few bugs. I posted them on Mod DB, but I forgot about the forums here so I'll re-post them here. Not sure if any of these are related to the mod or not.

VCC Titan looses it's mind when it teleports

I don't remember if I played VCC since updating the mod last time, but this round the titan forgets it's orders every time it uses it's teleport skill. I've only been able to use it in a squad that gives it new orders every time it forgets what it was doing.

Change in the Vasari Maraduder skills

I noticed one of the vasari marauder's skill seems to have been changed to affect enemy ships. That makes the skill much more useful, but with it's current balance one level of the skill plus a jump interference structure will get ships stuck early game, so you can't even scout past vasari minor races worlds unless you send several scouts at once... and even then it's pretty easy for it to trap and kill them.

I'm a fan of new ways to trap ships so I can counter the AI's raids, but this one seems a bit OP early game.

Ongoing Diplomat Shenanigans

The diplomats seem better than the last version, but instead of flying out of the gravity well at random, they just get stuck when arriving in a gravity well. They also seem to freeze periodically when trying to deploy the embassy, they will just sit there and never deploy it unless I go back and tell it to stop and deploy again. The AI is really struggling with this bug as they rarely get many embassies deployed on my planets, and they will get stuck trying to capture a minor race world. I can send a diplomat and capture the world, then the AI will resume attacking.

Phasic Barriers block attacks

More of a feedback, but I think this was changed in the E4X mod... I've noticed that ships stop attacking a structure when the structure activates the Phasic Barrier skill. This makes cleaning up Vasari structures in an enemy gravity well a big pain because my ships will just rotate around the well attacking the next structure each time the barrier activates and never actually get anything killed. I usually counter it by pressing shift and telling the fleet to attack the structure 5 or so times. More just an annoyance but it would be cool if anything can be done about it.

Piling up Sentinels

I've noticed when playing as Vasari I seem to collect sentinels randomly. I will find them scattered on planets that I've just conquered. I suspect it's from the marauder hero's summon ships skill. They don't de-spawn though, and I'm not sure if they count against the supply cap. I'm also sure it's not the "replicate forces" skill.

AI fleets getting stuck

I frequently see the AI piling it's fleet on planets that have those invincible hero spawning buildings. I'm wondering if the AI is sending ships there to attack it, but it's invincible, so the ships just sit there. I usually play with an AI ally so I can watch them do this once the conquer an enemy capital.

Anyway, those were the notes I collected from the last few playthroughs. Again, I love this mod, thank you for putting it together!

Yesssss! Thank you!

We know Starbases do not apply the debuff. It was not so much an intentional choice, but simply because it was a lot harder to do for Starbases. So as you say, since there is usually only one, we were okay with it not applying the debuff.

That's kinda been happening since the addition of embassies sadly. It seems the ship get's stuck trying to move outside the gravity well at random, and the AI doesn't know to fix it so they just get stuck. I have it happen with my envoy's too when I send them long distances.

Is the colony ship in range of any minefields you haven't cleared?
