Lusteds Experimental Campaign AI Take II

[Lusted]

Oh, and a question for you SS players who know some modding, could someone please let me know the internal names for all the new factions in SS, the next version of my campaign AI might have a very interesting new feature in it.

A question, I looked around but I couldn´t find it... Is necessary to set ai label in descr_strat.txt to default for all factions except mongols? if not how it has to be set?

Thanks!

I forgot one.

egypt


sorry.

[Lusted]

That's alright.

And i've sorted the problem with the AI making too many alliances and not ally with the human when the human was asking. Turns out i forgot to edit the alliance_against settings after adding in the continue statements which meant the AI was building up huge alliance_against values v the slaves and so making loads of early alliances.

[mailor]

Great News! Eagerly awaiting your new version.

[Lusted]

Yup, having figured out what was causing the alliance problems is allowing me to fine tune the amount of early alliances the AI makes as well. I will also be making it more difficult to buy cities from the AI.

[mailor]

One suggestion (if it is possible): Getting (or giving) Military accessment is almost impossible with the values right now. I'd suggest make it easier, since it is kind of annoying to lose reputaion if you need to move your army through a friendly territory. I'd even suggest to make it possible to be granted military accessment to neutral factions (if you pay up). Momentarily it is only possible in alliances (and even then it is almost never granted to you, and they don't take it if you grant it to them.)

[Lusted]

It's impossible to allow it for neutrals, and i don't want to make it easy to give as it would allow for too much player exploitation(player getting it, then simply positioning all their armies next to a factons settlements before declaring war).

catholic for catholic factions, papal_faction for Papal States, slave for slaves

Other factions (muslim, orthodox) should be default?¿

Thanks again...

[Lusted]

Yup.

[Point Blank]

Including Mongols, Timurids, Aztecs?

[Lusted]

No, Mongols and Timurids use the mongol profile(made extra aggressive), Aztecs default.

[nickman777]

No, Mongols and Timurids use the mongol profile(made extra aggressive), Aztecs default.

hi lusted,
how did you make extra aggressive? by using invade immediate on a more lenient condition?

[Lusted]

hi lusted,

Yeah basically replaced a lot of invade_buildup and invade_opportunistic with invade_immediate.

[Chim]

I am not sure if anyone brought this up yet: The CAI preffers to target their Crusades at fellow Christians than at Muslim factions. Also The HRE is #1 target of enemy Jihads.

I am speaking of the "vanilla" 5.0 CAI.

[nickman777]

Yeah basically replaced a lot of invade_buildup and invade_opportunistic with invade_immediate.

do you have an idea why factions are prone to attacking slaves early in game and not attacking other factions with the same ardency
