I´m not sure if I should use

TRIGGER_MASSIVE_ENEMY_COUNTERATTACK_AT_DRASSEN and AGGRESSIVE_STRATEGIC_AI

or

NEW_AGGRESSIVE_AI

It seems to be roughly the same except NEW_AGGRESSIVE_AI reads like it would be a bit more random and/or dynamic?
Anyone who has tried both and can make a comparison?

Take anything I say here with a boulder of salt, since I have no clue what's in the actual code (you'll have to wait for somebody else for that), but AFAIK those settings are about different things.

AFAIK as I said, TRIGGER_MASSIVE_ENEMY_COUNTERATTACK_AT_DRASSEN is the on/off switch for the famed Drassen counterattack.

AGGRESSIVE_STRATEGIC_AI is the switch to enable Drassen-style counterattacks on all the other towns. As the comments say:
; 0: no attacks
; 1: counterattacks on all cities possible
; 2: 1 and major offensives depending on game progress

Now as for NEW_AGGRESSIVE_AI, the comments are pretty clear on that:
; This AI is capable of launching massive attacks (with reinforcements) at important sectors. Teams of several dozen enemies
; will assemble to attack your sector SIMULTANEOUSLY. This is similar to the Drassen Counterattack event, except it happens
; to every city, possibly several times during the campaign!
; When set to TRUE, this setting has the potential of making the game considerably harder.
It's additional counterattacks, all over the place, in case you didn't get enough... big grin

Though I wonder if NEW_AGGRESSIVE_AI also has guaranteed counterattacks after taking a city or if that has been randomized... and it does not have the offensives.
I will try a game with that setting.

As far as I understand it, AGGRESSIVE_STRATEGIC_AI is the one responsible for automatic counterattacks after taking a town. while NEW_AGGRESSIVE_AI gives you random counterattacks later on, and way more difficult ones too (with tanks! If you enable them).

I agree the names are a little vague. We just need a "NEW_AGGRESSIVE_STRATEGIC_AI" to complete confusion... cheeky
