Comments to Reborn version
----------------------------------------------------
CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS
• You can play any combination of civs. Stronger ones are those with fast fire ships, galleons and cannon galleons. Aztec is weak because of lack of galleons and cannon galleons, if you want to use it, you can combine it with Spanish or Byzantine or Persian for example.
• Rules for Koreans have been improved.
• It is still a flexible AI, Persian civ chooses to Grush or to go into a Medium Fast Castle age, depending on some situations on Dark age mainly and depending on the situation of the enemy. Other civs choose for a medium fast castle age.
• Landings were improved as well as units distribution.
• The defense on the islands when the sea was lost is improved by much.
• The bug that were on all other versions that ships stay back on imperial was finally fixed. This fix changes the effectiveness drastically.
• Forward building has been improved quite a lot.
• It can play Turbo Random Map, but behavior is somewhat different.
• Still not worked with Userpatch.

I was consistently getting error could not open
The Black Pearl Reborn\The Black Pearl Architecture Reborn.per
After extensive hours troubleshooting involving reinstalling I figured out to install this AI has to create folder
The Black Pearl Reborn
then inside that folder put all files EXCEPT
The Black Pearl Reborn.ai
The Black Pearl Reborn.per
