idea for roman glory

**legio_XX** · April 28, 2008, 07:16 AM

how about making the east and west alittle more buddy buddy like. they where at that point(your main camp) i mean they sent a joint force to carthage and both lost they should not be attacking you for no reason. like blokading my ports and sending half stacks to kill me when i am the west and they are fast losing ground in the east. at this point they need an ally in the west like i need one in the east right?

well just saying cant wait to win some glory for rome

thanks

alrighty...testing it out now

Want to give the option of the oplayer to break it but not sure how this is done

You could include multiple script options like Ruina Rome, one having 4turns+forced diplomacy and one of just 4turns for when the player wants to unify Rome under one Emperor.

This sounds the best way..an optional script, thanks Lord Agelmar. I made it allied but it can be neutral.

I think the easiest way is to become the east's protectorate, I'm pretty sure they won't betray you then.

at VH the AI betrays in every situation including protectorates

also, no protectorate can be set at the game start (hardcoded limitation)

By requesting it?

True...a two edge sword playing on VH

Well, for starters I usually play on Hard, because of a bug that, financially speaking makes the game harder than on Very Hard. And, yes, I request to become protectorate, and can usually get some money out of the deal too. The AI seems almost too willing to accept protectorates.

Never seen of a bug like that...have you got some evidence?

**Jingles** · May 10, 2008, 01:34 PM

no real eveidence as such, and it's not really a bug, just the AI will trade a lot in for you to become a vassal of them.

**beatoangelico** · May 10, 2008, 01:53 PM

no I was referring to

**Jingles** · May 10, 2008, 03:24 PM

Oh, right. Well actually I'm not positively sure that this is true of the BI.exe, but apparently with ALX.exe and RTW.exe at Very Hard the you and the AI both get certain economy bonuses that on Hard only the AI gets. I think it might have been SquidSK at the RS forums who I heard it from.

**beatoangelico** · May 10, 2008, 03:37 PM

mmh I highly doubt that such a thing is true. I've played at H and VH with both rtw.exe and bi.exe and I've never noticed any strange financial aid for me at VH. All that I've clearly seen is that at VH the AI gets massive a massive cash bonus, while at H, if is present, is small enough to not get noticed.

**Jingles** · May 11, 2008, 10:58 AM

If I'm honest I haven't noticed this difference myself, but its taken as fact on some of the forums. All I DO know is that the AI is more aggresive on vhard than on hard. Which is the chief reason why I play on hard campaign difficulty.

**Riothamus** · May 11, 2008, 11:56 AM

I always play VH/VH(when ever I have time too..like when theirs a blue moon) knowing that the AI comp is getting extra bonuses. But I keep in mind that the AI doesn't always do the smart thing when it has its turn so the bonuses to to me it makes up for it....
