The Advanced AI Mod for Zero Hour brings enhanced battlefield tactics to computer players in Zero Hour. This mod was created to overcome the Zero Hour AI's predictability: after you've played enough skirmish matches, it becomes clear that the AI uses the same tactics, builds mediocre bases, and often keeps too much cash in its banks for no particular reason. If you can already beat 7 computer players on the hard difficulty setting, or if you're just looking for a challenge, then this mod is for you.

I might actually try this, if that base was made by the AI (screenshot) then this AI is quite smart.

yup- like to know that, too. Contra 007 isn't as hard as 005 (never tried 006 due to bug reports gone wild), so we're lookin' for a new, harder, faster AI...the Lion ZH AI was pretty tough, but it'd be nice to know if it worked with other mods...

All screenshots are of bases made by the enhanced AI.

I have not extensively tested this mod with total conversions. Feel free to give it a try and let us know what other mods it works / doesn't work with.
