Figured it out it was the buildings.
It was coding related not script related.
I think it was because the buildings were missing the FS_FACTORY Kindof.
It all works great now.

Hi All!
Long time, no see! I thought I'd let you know that I'm officially back and willing to answer all of your AI related questions as always!
P.S. Thanks to everyone for keeping the AI flag flying during my rather long and unjustified absence!
Cheers!
Hebblewhite.

I have a question folks
I added a new unit, and I want to make the AI use them, I already added them to the specific libraries files.
Then I put them into the single teams from the Mordor AI, and the computer uses them.
But since then, the Mordor AI is a bit strange and I don't like it anymore.
So, for solving this, I want to make a new team in MordorAI.map just for this new unit.
So, can you tell me what I must do to make it work?

you could add it to an existing team like Patrol_LateGame01 and the AI will build him fine and it shouldn't change much just that it'll build your new unit.
I'm not really sure what you want from your AI.
Just try experimenting with it until it does what you want

Yes I already did that, but I'm not satisfied with the result.
I mean I want a new team (calling it infantry 3 or sth.), what must I do to do this?
(where's Hebblewhite btw
)

Hey, i'm just wonderin' if it is possible to make the Rohan and Gondor AI place more units on their walls because whenever I play them they only have like a few bats of soldiers and archers and nothing on the walls...

The key to AI is trial and Error.
Just get in there and experiment.
Just make sure you back up the originals

Good question!
You need to play around with the base patrolling teams. Also, check out all of the scripts regarding base defense nodes - these are the actual positions that teams are sent to given certain conditions. Good faction castles happen to have a bunch of these nodes in and around the wall positions.
You could start out by increasing the number of battalions assigned to the base defense teams in your chosen faction, and work from there.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that certain scripts are only active on relevant difficulty levels. Make sure you're using the HARD ARMY teams and scripts if you want the maximum effect.

Thanks, i'll try it out. I've always wanted to play a game where I could lay seige on the enemies castle and they'd defend it. I might also try to edit the evil faction's teams.

Hey.
I know this seems like a bit of a generic question, but is there a way to fix it so that the AI actually use their heroes' powers and abilities? This is incredibly rare to happen in a normal game, I don't think I've ever seen a computer hero use a power.

umm, as far as I know the AI uses every hero power.
Perhaps you can tell us which hero you mean.
For example it bugs me how the AI uses the abilities of Saruman, I admit that it is weird, but the others are ok imo.

Oh. I never ever have seen the AI use a hero power. Is there a way to increase their likeliness to use powers?

Well, it depends on the lenght of the skirmish of course.
If you let the AI build heroes like Gimli, Legolas, Lurtz etc. they will use their special powers, no doubt about that.
I often play 2 vs. 2, that means a computer controlled AI and me, against two other AI sides.
Then I often see how the computer uses them.

Is there a way to get the AI to build heroes more often, then? It's rare that they do.
