Description:
This mod improves the ability of AI soldiers in a number of key areas:
- Improves AI's ability to spot and engage enemy, extending engagement ranges
out to 500m and beyond
- Changes the speed at which an AI can get a bead on a target
- The AI now reacts to effective enemy fire, before taking casualties
- Accuracy is changed to ensure sustained firefights take place, allowing
movement under contact with good use of cover. Ammunition dispersion and
weapon accuracy are not changed
- AI use frags. Be aware of your enemy's ability to throw frags!
- AI hearing ability is reduced to realistic levels, enabling a player to make
stealthy close quarter approaches providing he can remain unseen
- Vehicle gunners now react to enemy fire
- Building on the native game feature, AI characters have varying ability to
spot enemy according to role. This is to represent equipment and training
variation, e.g. Observers, Snipers and Officers with Binoculars have greater
ability to detect enemy
- Sniper teams that make effective use of tactics, cover & concealment can now
carry out their mission, especially at extended engagement ranges
- Careful movement and correct use of formation is now an important factor in
improving a soldiers survivability, as are planned ingress and egress routes
- AI react more aggressively under contact and don't give up as easily
- Injuries occur more frequently in firefights. Good drills and wise medics are
now an essential part of the game
- Designed & built to work with ACE core. Correct dependencies force override
of ACE values enabling the Zeus combat experience

It is fully tested in single and multiplayer and causes no known issues.
For coop multiplayer, it is recommended to be installed both on the server and
clients.
If the server is running the mod and you choose not to install it client side,
then any AI you command will be at a disadvantage compared to the server
controlled AI.

It has greatly increased the immersion and challenge of coop play for Zeus,
hope you enjoy it!


Installation:
Extract the @zeu_ai_ace_skills.7z archive to your main ArmA II directory.
Inside the new @zcommon_ace\Addons directory are the .pbo and .bisign files:
zeu_c_ai_recognition.pbo
zeu_c_ai_recognition.pbo.ZEU.bisign
zeu_c_ai_rof.pbo
zeu_c_ai_rof.pbo.ZEU.bisign
zeu_c_ai_skill.pbo
zeu_c_ai_skill.pbo.ZEU.bisign

The .bisign file is to enable players using properly signed addons to join
servers that require them.

Make a copy of the ARMA II ACE shortcut on the desktop or wherever you have it.
Right click the copy and select properties. In the target box append:

;@zcommon_ace

It should look like this:

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" -nosplash -mod=@CBA;@ACE;@ACEX;@zcommon_ace -maxmem=2047

or if you're running an ArmA 2 beta, like this:

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\beta\arma2.exe" -nosplash -mod=beta;@CBA;@ACE;@ACEX;@zcommon_ace -maxmem=2047

To load more than one mod folder use semi-colons to separate the mod list:

...\arma2.exe -mod=@mod1;@mod2;@mod3;@zcommon_ace

For an explanation of the -nosplash & -maxmem= parameters, reference the ArmA II
