Hello folks, over the past two days we worked on refining the AI improvements that went live to the beta branch on Monday. The AI now is much better at attacking and picking its targets and overall should represent a big improvement from 1.1.4. We also normalized the input lag on multiplayer matches for the Host, eliminating host advantage. Gengis Khan received a nerf to slow down Mongol's Khan Rush. This is a temporary fix as mongols will receive some more changes soon. Don’t forget that you can find people to play with on Discord.
