EB2 CAI 3.0 testing

[mr mojo risin]

I continued my Pergamon campaign at turn 49 with the new AI. The changes are easy to spot: Before the new ai, Greece was filled with full - and halfstacks just standing around or deployed in cites/forts. Immediatly after the activation Macedonia moved to Athen, i am prepared for a big war for Greece. I also spoted that Pontos finall decided to move at Ankara. The Romani declared a truce with Epeiros (They already took Taras, so a truce seems plausible) and the Ptolemaics declared a truce with AS, which is not that authentic. Imo they should stay enemies until there is one side victorius and took two or three cities from the other. Also the Romani are at war with Carthage now.
So way more action right now.

you will find that Ptolemaics and AS will ebb and flow with one another until it explodes, this AI is very active and the player will have multiple decisions to make,
thank you for your feedback in this early testing ohase.

Great work!

Well, it is exactly day and night compared to the old CAI... I have seem some strange thing..

Started Macedonian campaign, and things were like this in a first 5 turns:

1) KH declared a truce with me, I accepted
2) Selucids and Ptolemai declared a war on each other, only to declare truce next turn, and another next turn became allies :/
3) epeiros declared truce with Rome, next turn became allies.

This is all in like first 5 turns, you get diplomatic reports every turn... I think this CAI is overly too active, doing diplomatic negotiations all the time and kinda non sense.


I think something in between the old CAI and the new one would do the thing...

The same happened to me too, except Rome and epirus didnt became allies.. Very active diplomacy going on now, and I become thinking twice before declaring war anyone actulally..

Okay playing as KB the Getai just besieged my two western cities at the same time and I'm not sure if I can hold Olbia,the Sauromatae are bothering my northern and eastern border so I can't send my Royal army to deal with the Getai.It seems to work a bit too good and I actually planned to attack some of the bigger cities one the southern coastline.

did you start being hostile? or did they just act on you as you were minding your own business??

do you have base folder is inside maps?

[Anubis88]

Yeah in my experience the Ptolemaioi-Arche diplomacy is acting wierd. Like people mentioned, at war one turn, bff's the next.

[Choki]

Yes, done, thanks mate!

The Getai atacked me,but the Sauromatae were peacefull for a long time until they blocked one of my ports after that I pillaged some of their camps,so they hate me.
I will play a bit, maybe I can make peace with the getai after I stopped their attacks.

[Nerva]

I've noted a great improvement in the AI's behaviour, however it is true that the diplomacy is being a little bit weird, witg previous enemies suddenly allying eachother. My greatest remark is carthage invading segesta a managing to keep it and even reach peace with Rome.

Well I lost both cities(damn falx) and a good loyal general,but I was able to retake Olbia. I also managed to beat the Getai FL and his nearly fullstack,I'm currently trying to get some money to strike back.
And this is the first time in my whole total war history that I'm close to losing a campaign(VH/M).

[Pelican Man]

I AM BEYOND PUMPED TO PLAY TONIGHT.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOYA

Thanks guys!!!

Im working on the diplomacy.

This is great! Continued from my pergamon campaign. Though the old CAI was working very good in my campaign. But this defnitelly made it better. There is a state of total war going on in Greece between me as Pergamon, KH, Epeiros versus Makedon, AND Makedon has almost conquered both Epeiros and KH twice. The tide turned a little, and our alliance had all the makedon cities but 2, this is the third time i thought Makedon was completely destroyed and that the war would end at the speed of my armies movement towards their last 2 cities, but they got back up, recaptured 2 cities from Epeiros, and im about to enter a battle against them in Demetria where i got 2k and they 4k. And they still got another 2 full stacks around....

Im definitelly making an AAR out of this campaign!


ps: hard campaign medium battles

FEEDBACK:
Actual game:
Playing as Makedonia on M/M
I have installed the mod at turn 65 and now i'm at turn 86.

- AI is few more agressive. For exemple, Ptolemaioi block my ports more often than before.
- AI land armies do not look more agressive, but my powerful neighbours are not at war with me.
- Diplomatie is far more interesting. Many AI factions asked me for alliances, trade agreements etc... and they declare war, make peace et each other more often.

So, for now, i'm happy about this upgrade.

Note it is recommended you set campaign diffculty to Hard or Very Hard as that's what the game is balanced for!
