ROME campaign

[Ramaccia_96]

Hi, i'm new in this fantastic forum, i'm trying new DEI 1.2 with Rome, i'm playing at normal difficulty, but i noticed that it's unplayable because a big number of faction ( far from me and without a reason for attack ) decleares war to me.. i tried to restart campaign and take a dialogue with diplomacy from the first turn, but they won't to have any treat with me until around 90-100 turn of game i'm in war with 7-8 faction and only 2-3 of this has a serious reason to join war against me... has anyone the same problem? sorry for my bad English and thank you in advance for your answers.

Welcome aboard buddy.
Try Normal difficulty for campaigns and battles as well. AI is more aggressive now in 1.2 and Diplomacy a much more challenging part of the game.

Cheers.

Thank you for answer! I'm already playing normal difficulty, i understand that AI is aggressive and i can understand if a boarder faction attack me, but a big number of faction far from me attack without sense,

Never had this happen to me on normal difficulty. Have you made sure there are no conflicting mods/packs active?

That said, and as I just realized, I suppose if you play as the roman faction that has diplomatic penalties with everyone your situation might arise since I assume it makes you most factions least liked contender.

I play the roman that hasn't the diplomatic penalityes, i like that AI is aggressive, but non stupid, if factions that hashas a reason it's allright... so you don't have this problem? I haven't any other mod and the game is buying from steam... i try to delete and re-download the mod and retry a campaign.

You can also use Softcore submods for early campaign and just turn if off once the situation gets more stable:

That being said, normal difficulty as Rome is pretty easy but if you have never played Rome 2 or DeI before, even normal will be rather difficult.

I play vanilla rome 2 at hard difficulty withput problems... how it work? The softcore?

[KAM 2150]

Normal in DeI is like Hard or even Very Hard in vanilla. Difficulty here does matter a lot. Softcore will make diplomacy easier in the beggining. Once you feel it gets too easy, just turn it off. Plus you have exact description of what softcore does in the link.

I reinstalled mod and now IA don't attack me without sense... so problem solved! Now i ask you the last thing, how can i improve the relationship with faction? For example witch red faction that have a negative attitude value...?

Money, kill their enemies, love their lovers, take their girlfriends, the first 3 are correct.

[dahooscarl]

Thought I'd add my own thoughts here. To improve your relations with factions you do a number of things like waging war on their enemies, raiding enemy supply lines, bribing them, cancelling treaties and agent operations.

Rome is easy but if you get bogged down in too many wars or rush too many expensive troop types(I'm looking at you triarii.) You can get overwhelmed.

It just took me 3 tries with the Roman Empire to get an acceptable start, here my experiences:

- Don't take the Patricii - the diplomatic malus doesn't let you get trage arrengments easy and lead (in my case) to a war with Massalia (before I even defeated Epeiros in Italy)
- Don't buy buildings with your starting cash - use it to build a proper army to defeat Epeiros
- Built up your economy once you control middle and southern Italy

[dahooscarl]

Also take Ligurian territory asap. If Massalia nabs it they will explode and gobble up the weak Alpine tribes. I went to war with a a stack and a half and they whopped me with 2 and a half stacks and their Raeti and Nori allies.

that's helpful thanks

Anyone made peace with Carthago after the first half-triggered war about Sicily? I own now Sicily and Corsika&Sardinia. Still not able to make peace with Carthago.

[dahooscarl]

Once Rome and Carthage are at war they're basically at war until someone dies or gets subjugated. The AI won't give in until their back is against a wall. As long as Carthage holds its African and Iberian holdings, they probably won't give in.
