Lusteds Battle AI and Campaign AI

[rageallday]

will these files work with medieval total war 2 vanilla? (patched to latest version)

[Lusted]

Yes they will if you set the game up to read the files.

how do i go about doing that?

[Dave Scarface]

I look forward to trying this out, thanks!

[Lusted]

dave, this is not the updated files that I posted in the SS forum, I'll be updating these files once I've finished my work on updating my AI.

Hi Lusted, are you woking on upgraded version of your CAI? Will we be able to apply it in LTC gold and any M2TW mod?

Are you making the factions less passive and more backstab prone ?

By backstab prone, you mean they will respect alliances less? I hope not!
Can we see some action from the rebels by the way? At the time, they're just hunging out waiting. Ver, very rarely, they attack a city. And by rarely I mean I have seen it twice in the three months or so that I play LTC.

[Lusted]

yup, yup, yup and yup.

[jegui]

yup, yup, yup and yup.

ta, ta, ta, ta

Lusted I just wanted to say thank you again for making an UNBELIEVABLE CAI! I am still using the previous version of your CAI in my mod. Because I am going to wait until you finish work on the new version before I use that one. But the old one is working great ATM. I was stunned playing my mod tonight when Denmark suddenly launched a lightning attack against me and declared war.



While at war with Lithuania I was suddenly attacked by Denmark. One on land and another stack by boat. The defenders of Kalmar had no chance.



1 turn later the full stack got back in the boat and landed at Visby!!! I haven't even had a chance to get my reinforcements ready I am amazed!

best wishes
Dave

Ok, I haven't been playing M2Tw for a while now so I kinda need some help. Where do I exactly copy these files to make them work with both M2Tw and Kingdoms(the campaigns)? And is there any other command I need to write anywhere to make them work?

[Che]

I really need some help guys. Should I just copy the files into "C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\british_isles\data\" or do I need to do anything else?

[Eothese]

Does the improved AI, when beseiging a settelment and when it has artillery attack on the first turn? If not is there any way of making it do so?
I don't see the point of a beseiging army building ladders and rams when it has bombards etc. Why would an enemy allow its opponent to sally out and cause casualties when it can attack and conquer straight away?

[Lusted]

So all I have to do in there is to add the --io.file_first at the end of my F:\plaaplaa\Total_War_M2\medieval2.exe? So then it's like F:\plaaplaa\Total_War_M2\medieval2.exe--io.file_first? But when I do that it's whining about the path not being correct and it's not valid. So what am I doing wrong?

You need to have a space between .exe and --io.file_first

Also, does the AI come to your old, already excisting campaigns?

Yes

[Noob-Dogg]

You need to have a space between .exe and --io.file_first


Yes

Aah, thank you!

Is there a way to make the AI attack straight away when they are beseiging a settlement and have atillery with their army?
Instead of wasting a turn building ladders etc.

[Lusted]

No there is not.

[Eothese]

Damn, was really wishing for this as a possibility. I'll take your word for it though. Cheers for reply!

[OSDEA7]

That was a good question though.I have always wanted the AI to assault right away when they have cannon or seige equipment.But i end up using a trick to draw them in closer to the walls so my archers can thin them down instead.I place a few units,spearmen and archers just outside the gates and antagonize them into moving forward on attack mode.Then my archers on the walls pummel them.It works.

[alhoon]

Just wanting to ask how the work on the CAI goes Lusted. The one from LTC:Gold is working fine BTW but I'm sure you can find something to improve.

For instance I would like to see alliances at the start of the game to become more difficult.
