I'm using the 16-Nov-2021 version in the DiploVexed mod and bots get stuck with throwing weapons.

I am unsure how to get this to work, I merged this with Prophesy Of Pendor, however nothing seems to have happened, there is no changes to the AI, and no configuration menu I can find, or any trace of a added UI or mod.
In a world of ice and fire, whenever I merge it with the mod, dialogue and text becomes a mess oof.
What does renown bonus mean?
Also is there source code for Brainy Bots? It's 5+ years old and releasing it would make available tons of information and progress for AI modding in Warband.
Will this work in Gekokujo Daimyo Edition?
it works with every mod
hope you keep up with it and release other features...best AI mod ever, it's what Warband was meant to be from the beginning.
what's up with the update
New version coming with crash fixes and shortcut key setting
