Having only recently gone through the learning curve of HOI, the one thing that was quickly brought home to me was the weak AI of HOI. I always play new games on the hardest settings, so I can judge how good/bad/indifferent the AI is. After starting my first game, it wasn't long before I was looking up the options menu, to make sure I had ticked the hardest settings, such was the "ease" in which I was finding the AI.
It was then I started looking at C.O.R.E & Stony Road for a bit more of a challenge. Up to now I hadn't found a thread which users "road test" one against the other. I've looked at both and saw the merits in each of these mods, but this thread showing the pro/con's has helped me no end. Thanks for the thread, as now I have a better idea on which Mod to insert into my game.
And yes a combination Mod with the best of both, would be an ideal although unlikey addition.

What about events giving units and techs for free, huge bonuses to the productivity, extreme rise of warentry? Ai's in HoI are hopeless - even with max tweaking, AI's alone could not create enough challenge for most of the players."
