OBJECTIVES/ GOALS
Our goal at Imperial Splendour isn't just to create a unique game play experience for the player, but to create a unique game play behavior for the AI as well
PRIMARY: We are working on creating unique modification for AI behavior. This entails significant modification of AI behavior and personality.
SECONDARY: To improve the economic realism of the game as well as creating more realistic large scale battles.
SOME CHANGES
SOCIO- ECONOMIC CHANGES
- Luxury trade (Ivory ["Slaves"], Tobacco, Sugar, Spice, Coffee, etc...) will become of greater importance consistent to historical date relative to other forms of trade.
- Generally economic income would increase in order to allow for larger armies faster in the game.
- [CAUTION: The myth is more money means easier game- play. This will not be true. The A.I. will also get a boost as well as additional reduction in upkeep cost. The end result is you will be at a greater economic disadvantage]
- Religious conflict were minimal in Europe in the 18th century, so this would be reduced.
- As you increased your farms and plantations, you will experience greater social unrest. As farms increase in size this meant that smaller farmers will become laborers or have no work. This will result in more revolts.
POLITICAL/ MILITARY CHANGES
- Personalities uniqueness ( 17 different personalities defined) Factors altered; recruitment naval an land, spending, and aggressiveness)
- Additionally, the larger faction will have their behavior modified to improve on uniqueness of the each faction.
- Resistance to foreign occupation
- Indian Factions (Maratha) would have its historical behavior restored (no more European or American invasions).
