Introduction
This guide will walk you through the installation, configuration and use of the Queller AI mod. This mod is a total overhaul of the AI. It covers a wider range of difficulties than TITANS, from easier to harder (Casual to Uber), all of which play in a more humanlike fashion than their TITANS counterparts. It features complete support for the Legion Expansion.
Queller AI uses the AI Compatibility Framework to allow you to play it alongside the TITANS AI. Want a mix of TITANS and Queller in one game? You can do that.
Once installed, Queller AI will work in any game you host. Other players do not need the mod installed.
The Queller AI has no effect on Galactic War.
Why the Queller AI?
There are a number of reasons why you might be looking to upgrade the TITANS AI:
- You can beat the AI on absurd
- You can’t beat the AI on a single planet, but on multi-planet systems it’s too weak for you
- The difficulty jump from Normal to Hard is too big
- You want something that plays a bit more like online human players would
The Queller AI is designed to resolve all of these issues, be it giving you a larger challenge, smoothing out the difficulty curve, invading more often on multi-planet maps, or just using the units a human would at that skill level.
The Queller AI will be useful to you no matter your level of skill.
Installation
The Queller AI is available to install through the game’s built in Community Mods manager for anyone who has Planetary Annihilation: TITANS. It is not available for classic owing to differing units and balance. You will need to enable Community Mods.
Choosing a Difficulty
You should download and install this mod via the Planetary Annihilation TITANS in-game Community Mods.

Suggested Difficulty
Below are recommendations for the difficulty you may wish to start on based on what you set the TITANS AI to, or your ladder ranking.
When you need to increase the challenge but don’t want to increase the difficulty, give the AI an eco boost rather than adding more AIs. Not only will this be better for the sim, it’ll stop the problem of there being less resources to go around for the AI which in turn makes it easier to beat.
TITANS | Queller | Eco |
---|---|---|
Normal | Casual | 1.0 |
Hard | Silver | 1.0 |
Relentless | Gold | 0.8 |
Absurd | Gold | 1.0 |
League | Placement | Difficulty | Eco |
---|---|---|---|
Bronze | Low | Bronze | 1.0 |
Bronze | High | Silver | 1.0 |
Silver | Low | Gold | 1.0 |
Silver | Mid | Platinum | 1.0 |
Silver | High | Uber | 1.0 |
Gold | Low | Uber | 1.2 |
Gold | High | Uber | 1.4 |
Platinum | Any | Uber | 1.6 |
Uber | Any | Uber | 2.0 |

Spawns
The spawn the AI starts in and the profile used can make a big difference, even for symmetrical 1v1s. If you find the AI too easy on a map, try a different spawn point for it. And don’t use Bedlam, the AI’s forces struggle to pathfind on this map.
Be sure to follow the recommended number of players for any map. Remember that the number of players actually relates to the number of armies.
