This problem is in the vanilla game, I thought ELCP was fixing it, but no. When attacking any army of main factions (opponents), this army will always retreat - even if it can easily win, even if I attack with 1 colonist - army of 10 units with hero. And on the next move, this AI army always attacks, even if it is much weaker. 2 very stupid AI army properties, that reduce interest in the military component of the game.

You need to attach savegames where issues like these are reproducable, otherwise I cant do anything.

I use the following fashions, top-down order:

1. Victory Condition Tweaks

2. Expanded Hero Market - ELCP Edition

3. Hidden Jewelry - one more accessory slot

4. Combo Techs

5. World Generator Full Customization

All DLCs are purchased and included. I prescribed -ushellexecute in Steam game launch parameters.  I enclose a couple of savings, I'm a significant leader in all the characteristics of the empire, and you can easily declare war on someone to quickly check. Save Files.rar

Thank you for the work, I have had a look at the video and your save. Here are the issues:
The reason the enemy retreats here is,because he doesnt know that you dont let your other garrisons join the battle (he doesnt cheat!). It expects you to, so it retreats.

The general reason why you have no challenge is because of your mod setup. I strongly suspect combo techs is the main culprit. Its turn 33, you have half the map and you are in era6, while all other empires are around era 2 - this is not normal! I assume this mod introduces a lot of new OP stuff and the AI doesnt recognize it as such and mostly ignores it. There are also some bugs in the mod that are immediatly obvious with one look in the log.  

Yes, I saw your message on the Combo Techs mod page. I experienced other problems with it (I wrote there, as Figaround). It seems, that it breaks the AI. And my advantage is related to cheats on the first turns.

I didn't know the AI had no information about which armies I was using in the attack. In the multiplayer, another player will also see all the armies in the attack - even if I use 1? I think it's bad, the defending side must see the real force that's attacking.

Can you make a setting that disables this behavior of the game - that is, to always see the real lineup of attacking armies?

Now the situation is different. At the beginning of the turn my army was attacked by an opponent (the Necrophage), a weak army, doomed to defeat (without losses for me). Why this suicide?

The video.

In the same video I attacked the weak army of this necrophage, it retreated (now it is reasonable, because I am stronger). The next turn of the attack "revenge" this army did not have, strange, I've seen it before. 

I add 2 save, turn 33 - if it is finished, there will be that self-destructive attack of a necrophage. And turn 34, where I expect the battle to begin. Save Files.rar

The attack happens because the AI wants to settle the region (or any region really). It basically tries to do a last ditch effort of getting new land, disregarding yourt superior power. Now could that be improved? Maybe. I'll think about it a bit, but please keep in mind that the situation you generated here isnt all too common. 

Btw. if you have trouble loading your turn 34 save: its because of another bug in the Combo Techs mod.

Thank you. Yes, I saw your comment about a bug in mod (on its page), and there asked you to write me how to fix the mod myself (the author has been absent for a long time and previously saw my bugtickets and did not respond).

Can you add an option to disable or at least increase connection delay after which a player faction downfalls under the AI control in multiplayer? (See the discussion here)

Hello, I had Endless Legends in my library for a while and finally got into playing it today. I bought it on sale, because I played and love ES2, so decided to get EL a go. I came across the ELCP, which I will add in my game some time in near future, once I get some vanilla gameplay in. My question is, I bought the collection a while back, before the last two dlcs came out, Inferno and Sybiosis, do I need those last 2 DLC to install ELCP? I haven't got around to getting them yet, I might grab them in the future. Thanks for the reply.

ELCP doesnt care about which DLCs you have.

ELCP reduces income from trade routes? It seems to me, with all the buffs, a little income.

And another question (though rather, request) - can you add a button (hotkey?) to cancel the display of city flags. Cities have big flags on the map, they cover ruins, pearls and other interesting things.

ELCP doesnt change trade routes. Trade route gain depends on the length, so make allies and you should have considerable income.

I have no plans (and time really) on providing further UI options atm, you can disable the whole UI by pressing CTRl + F11 though.

Do you know anything about the problem with the description of the quest at Vaulters?

Due to the big lags (after distributing the heroes' skill points and after specifying the route for moving the armies, seconds 3-25 each time), I applied the advice from this list, chose the "32-bit" version of the game in Steam. I take it that after that ELCP doesn't work for me (because I can't download the save), I have to set it again, will it work ELCP for 32-bit version of game?
