I have seen AI characters able to make an attack even when their head is bowed, which indicates that they have no more movement. I know that some mods also give all AI characters a hidden movement...
I don't think any fix was ever found. The AI is almost impossible to mod in this game from what I have heard.
After I took Silves as Portugal on turn 3 I got a cool general. (I wish I could marry him into my family.) However, he spawns with 2 units of Spearmen that are Silver Surfers, which Portugal does not...
The Portuguese Princess has the wrong Royal Blood trait, she should have Princess_Royal_Blood_Portuguese instead of Royal_Blood_Portuguese.
Another interesting thing is that the Portuguese and...
Bodyguard size is influenced by the generals PersonalSecurity level, which is affected by certain traits and ancillaries. Personal Security also decreases the chance of a character being...
This is actually quite interesting. I have never heard of that happening before.
How did you do it? I would find it great to do with spies, especially to spread the black death to an enemy army.
That description was written by CA, not by the Stainless Steel team.
Yeah, you can also ask again, sometimes the second or third shot works.
I think the problem is more with no going back level than AntiTraits, from my experience. When I mod my vanilla game to remove all No Going Back levels it seems to work best.
Do you think the age...
Interesting thread. I think TATW just made the 'Pope' unplayable because of the Ring script. Also they were not short on faction slots so they decided to play it safe, I guess.
Venice actually has the best early mid navy in the game. Galleys and War Galleys are very good battleships, and they get a unique ship, the Galleass, which completely blows anything out of the water....
A Coaching House is alright to make your assassins a little better, yes. Built it in a city with an Assassins guild. It does not give them better traits but it gives recruited assassins a 20% chance...
Wow, Gaul never did well in the original. I'm glad to see they can in the Remaster.
Yes, every faction plays by those rules. Even if you lose though, it is possible to keep playing and conquer...
Looks like, despite what the traits say, the old man does not Understand Trade anymore.
I don't know where it goes but popularity makes an effect. Generals who have the maximum ugly trait give -5 to popularity, I once had a governor cause a riot because of that. Wherever it goes it...
31 is really meager, almost an insult. Still useful for modders but very disappointing.
That exploit is completely ridiculous. Hope it gets patched out soon. He is not joking when he says literally anyone can win.
Regular tribute is also rather broken in Total War, especially when...
In BI, there are several clone factions. The Burgundii, Lombardi, and Alemanii are all identical except the Alemanii cannot horde. The Visigoths and Ostrogoths are identical, the Sarmatians and the...
I don't get the point of a speedrun in a game like Total War. I prefer a blitz and to take my time making decisions. I'll sometimes sit for minutes just to think about my next move.
Still,...
Yeah, I remember there was so much hype for Rome 2 here. I remember thinking "What if it is a disappointment?" so I didn't preorder, was glad I did not. I figured it might be like Empires release,...
I never played Rome 2, but from what I have seen the army system is inferior. In Rome 1 you build the units from cities (or hire them as mercenaries) then you merge them together to form armies. You...
I am watching Legend of Total Wars video of the remastered. Diplomacy now gives has an indication of what the AI thinks of a deal, thank God. The unit controls are much like Warhammer 2 now, which is...
This is really great. Apparently they have added a few features as well. Diplomacy now has Reputation and Relations. Chariots are rebalanced and not as overpowered, including on autoresolve....
I remembered this thread from years ago, so I checked on it to see what I put. Oh wow, I gave myself the Uninhibited Trait! lol. :laughter: I picked up a few points in the antitrait "Prim" so that...
1560. About the same as regular Stainless Steel, although it is twice as many turns. I bet almost no one plays a campaign that long.
This thread is ancient, but these forums are less active now.
All the buildings are useful, I built what I need. Except I find higher level Taverns useless, the Coaching House and especially the...
In my opinion the Food Administration building should be either cut or changed significantly. It is historical but unfortunately it is a very bad building, and the AI probably does not know that. I...
Remake this mod with Napoleon Total War or Empire Total War.
Well, I don't there should be penalties for attacking cities on the way that are Muslim or Pagan, as long as they are still moving towards the target. Maybe penalties for attacking Orthodox, but the...
Oh no, I violated the commandments!
Is gifting regions to a vassal/ally an exploit in your opinion? I know you say neither buy nor sell regions, but what about gifting? I kind of see it as setting...
Crusades and Jihads are good mechanics but they are overpowered when used by the human player. This mod had a very good idea making them cost 3000 but in my opinion 3,000 is just not enough. I think...
Consider merging the siege weapon building line and the upgraded tower line. The upgraded towers already require the siege workshop, so it could just be a continuation.
Although you might be...
The Hillmen?
Well, maybe I've just too good at Medieval 2 because I've played for too long :D. I have all of Britain, almost all of France on turn 35. Southern Spain I will give to my vassal France, and try to...
A King can only be crowned in the region with the sword on the map, right? So for Scotland it would be Edinburgh? Or can he be crowned in another 'home' region, or region where the faction has...
This heretic is unable to be purged properly, he is safe to spread his blasphemy from the mountains. Hopefully an Inquisitor spawns there also to show him the way!
...
Here is another thing. As the Byzantines (or Romans) on turn 1, you can besiege the Serbians with 2 regiments from Nis. Then send your diplomat immediately to the Serbian general hiding in the woods....
Yeah I actually did write a couple AAR's many, many years ago. Some of the AAR's here were really good. I was still a young teenager who did not understand interactions too well so mine were not that...
Do you guys use vassals at all? I am playing as Scotland right now. I managed to be very aggressive early on and took over Britian. A little bit afterwards I marched into Flanders and took that as...
