AI for AoE DE - Pharaon_DE

I tried to find a new AI for AoE DE and found the Pharaon_DE AI Mod. First I tested it in an AI Battle against the DE Extreme AI to see if it was worth trying and it destroyed the Extreme AI easily.

I read that it cheats some ressources on hardest and extreme difficulty so I tried an AI battle on hard difficulty and even there it destroyed the AoE DE Extreme AI. Wish I could test hard difficulty Pharaon against Extreme difficulty DE but thats not possible.

I also played two games so far against it on hard/hardest difficulty setting. Overall I can say that the AI looks very promising and it plays more "intelligent" in many situations from what I have seen. It can build towers at your gold to deny it from you, it will try to kill your villagers instead of attacking uesless walls or buildings (from what I have seen) and it won't suicide all troops into towers instead of going into your economy when you didn't even wall. The castle age times seem slower than DE because it likes to commit to feudal age agression.

Here is the description for the AI:

I also added a comment about some test games if you are interested to read about my experience with it.

To get the AI in the game you can subscribe to the mod. In the main menu click on mods, then select browse mods and there will be Pharaon_DE. You can filter for AI to find it faster.

If you know about other good AI's for AoE 2 DE please let us know. I know there is a barbarian AI somewhere but it doesn't seem to work with the new civs and extreme difficulty. Since it doesn't have userpatch I also guess that it is weaker than the one from voobly.
