After weeks and months of testing, and trying to figure out how to get the AI to react as a human does in a galactic environment, the PR team have finally achieved a significant AI breakthrough:

• Phoenix Rising is a mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption, created by Phoenix Rising Team. Description: Tyranny starves in the absence of consent. As you may have noticed in Phoenix Rising there are no global tech levels. Instead it has been replaced by specific research tree's as included in the pictures below.
• Re-fight the galactic civil war with this gorgeous Star Wars Empire at War mod. By Jonathan Bolding 29 December 2019. Always up for an excuse to make TIE Fighter noises with my mouth.
• This level is not made, distributed, or supported by LucasArts, a division of Lucasfilm Entertainment Company Ltd.

Phoenix Rising is a complete overhaul of EAW's mechanics, introducing new economic and production options, many new units, and a technology system that allows you to research and upgrade new units ind. Subscribe to the Mod DB Phoenix Rising mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption image feed, and get the latest eye candy as it is. I believe the playable factions are the Empire, Rebel Alliance (Phoenix Rising movement) and the Corporate Sector Authority. Republic at War. Welcome to the Subreddit for the real time strategy hit Star Wars: Empire at War and all it's related expansions and mods. Created Apr 17, 2014.

The AI now aggressively attacks independent planets, takes worlds, builds fleets, and stomps all over unwary humans if given half a chance.

The AI equasions to do this have been in place do this for years, but for months the AI has lain dormant, effectively asleep. We have tried hundreds of different ideas to get the AI to activate - all to no effect.

And how did we achieve this?

The frustrating answer, familiar to most modders out there is simple. We changed 1 value in the XMLs, instead of increasing the value from 1.0 to 1.25 we should have decreased the value to 0.75. It just took 6 months of testing to realise that is what we needed to do!

WOW. Did the AI react or what?

It annihilated one of the testers in Core Worlds in under a quarter of the time taken for a human player to 'WIN' Core Worlds if unopposed.

Now that we know the AI is working, I have to go back and undo many of the campaign changes put in place that were an attempt to make the AI respond, but the mod is finally alive and kicking. We need to test and polish a bit more, but this makes us a lot closer to where we want to be.
