4) Important info about the new AI adjustment feature
===========
The latest mod version includes six optional AI strength increase packs. Ultimately it will allow a player to adjust the AI strength to any value from 86%-100%.
100% stands for hard, 86% stands for easy and 93% stands for medium. Now it is very likely that your skill level doesn't ideally fit any of those 3 levels and you require something in-between.
Let's say you find hard as too much while medium is too easy. In that case select your in-game difficulty to medium, exit the game, launch JSGME and choose one of the optional packs, experiment with them to
find your perfect AI level. Remember to disable the previously used pack before enabling a new one. Once you get a hang of it you'll be able to customize the AI to anything you want.
