"AttMaxDefault =" in the aic overwrites setting selected in the patcher
I suggest either removing the option in the patcher or have it be applied after the aic so it overwrites the aic.
I think those are different option, the one in the aic files not doing anything as far as I understood.
AttMaxDefault does nothing to my knowledge. It's just in the AIC for completeness.
I changed the number from 200 to 3000 in the aic for each char and the issue i had with my ai stopping recruitment at some point (around 420 for one ai etc) got fixed without me touching the patcher option again which was set to 3000 before as well.
