To install the AI, simply copy the three files 'aiDraugurHeader.xs', 'aiDraugurMain.xs' and 'aiLoaderStandard.xs' into the game folder '..\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\AI3'. Note that the Draugur AI is meant for single player and LAN games and might cause problems when you try to play online!
CAUTION: You need to overwrite the original 'aiLoaderStandard.xs' file with the one provided here. Be sure to make a backup of the original file first, just in case you want to undo the change again!

It upgrades units, builds walls, has a counter system, but it makes the game more nr-like. Once you've reached ~Lt rank it's just boring to play against i think. Unit spam like Nilla bots, but you have time to ff/FI usually. You can only lose if you don't wall or are outnumbered. When you reach the point, where you can sacrifice your eco you win. But for lower levels it's certainly more challengeing. (too slow age up, then the unit spam starts, a lot more than a TAD bot). I rather play a 3v5 with bad teammates or a 1v3, 1v4 (stuck here) rush with bad teammates for fun.

If it is boring to play against, then either not enough handicap, or not enough bots

:hmm: yes, but you reach a breaking point quickly (too much spam), if you don't want to single pillar wall the whole map, like aklak did in his 1v7 100% handicap game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0wfyzuGndY If you enjoy this and want play some hours then it isn't boring, it's really hard then ;)

There is a better AI script, based on Draugur one made by Murdilator. It can actually provide decent challenge on expert, especially if you play vs 2 or more comps. Installation process is the same. Vanilla TAD AI is included in folder in case you want to revert.
