AI General Mode

Description
* * Welcome to the AI General Mode * *

This is the evolution of the Spectator Mode.

The 2 mods are not compatible. You will have to choose one or the other.



First things first, all credit for this mod goes to Hambango[forums.totalwar.com] from TW forums who created this. I uploaded it here with his permission to publish and maintain it.




How it works

Just select the units you want to be controlled by the AI and hit Shift + F9 at the same time. This triggers a pop-up window showing the advisor. Now the AI controls the units you chose. Their cards are flashing, so you can always tell that they are under the AI. The key bindings are as follows:

- Shift+F9 will enable the AI for all selected units
- Shift+F10 will enable the AI for all unselected units

Advanced Controls

- Turn Unit Responses On/Off
Useful when your units get stuck in an audio loop. To use this function hit Shift + F11. Default is ON.

- Turn AI Control of Summoned Units On/Off
If you want to assign all newly summoned units to the AI, enable this function by hitting Shift + F12 (before you cast the summon spell). Default is OFF.

- Turn AI Control of Rallying Units On/Off
You can assign all rallying units to the AI. This means that you normally control your units until they rout. Once they rally, they will be controlled by the AI. To enable this function assign a key to "Save Camera Bookmark 5". Default is OFF.



Things to notice

- Each time you press Shift + F9, the AI resets to the currently selected units. You cannot add units to a "preexisting pool". However, you can change your initial selection anytime during the battle.

- If you want to turn off the AI and manually control your units, make sure no unit is selected and hit Shift + F9. You can do this anytime you wish.

- The hotkeys (Shift+F9/F10/F11/F12) replace the bookmark locations 1-4 in keybindings section. You can change them freely though. For more explanation on the controls, please refer to this thread.

- AI General works for all units, lords and heroes and even for reinforcements that arrive after the battle begins. It works both in Campaign and Custom battles. It does not work in quest and intro battles.



Various Issues / Bugs / Compatibility

Please refer to this thread.



Special kudos to Jaerv for coming up with the name of the mod.

I subscribed to the mod and verified it's checked in Properties > Workshop, but it's not working for me. I'm not in an intro or quest battle, but clicking the default hotkeys does nothing. Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

As somebody who is absolutely horrendous at army management and tactics, I just want to thank you for making it possible for me to actually *enjoy* this game because I'm not getting steamrolled in every little skirmish. I still get rolled in quest battles, but the description is clear about that - even though I missed it at first - so it is what it is. Again, thank you.

I had to manually set it 'on' in the warhammer mod files
But this game has become unplayable without this mod :)

This was updated for the last major patch which was Norsca dlc iirc. There hasn't been any significant patch to the game since then, only launcher updates.

I am not sure of one of these updates broke mods, but if it did then it would be for ALL the mods in the Workshop and not only this in particular.

We are working on it :)

@Decomposed Do you have any plans on making an AI General mode mod for TWWIII? I almost cannot play without this mod anymore :steamhappy:
