How to get the AI to attack (preferably gang bang) me?

**~~Banzai!~~** · May 30, 2008, 06:43 PM

Hi all.

I have been playing a Scotland campaign. It has been pretty cruisy. I attacked Ireland and vassalised them. Then I attacked England and vassalised them as well. I then got a few settlements in Netherlands (took them off France, HRE and Denmark whom I then got cease fires from).

However it's always me doing this, me attacking this. I declared war on Ireland and won the war. Then I declared war on England and won the war. Then I declared war on France and got a cease fire, etc. The AI doesn't seem to care that I am going through all the factions thrashing them one by one and just stays at peace with me.

I want to play an exciting campaign where the AI declares war on me and I have to rush all my troops to an undefended part of my border. Or where the AI forms a coalition of nations to beat the crap out of me.

However I can't get it to happen.

I have tried to be an ass. I am exterminating prisoners and I was excommunicated ever since I knocked out Ireland. A few turns ago I took Rome and killed the pope. However the AI does not declare war on me.

I am playing on H campaign difficulty.

Any suggestions?

Try playing a faction (not Scotland) that is surrounded by other factions. Play it on VH/VH. Your not going to get alot of actions as scotland becuase only a couple of the AI factions want your land. You need to play in an area that many AI factions want. Scorland is never going to be attacked by many factions unless you move your empire. IMHO.

Maybe there is a way to edit the files so that all the factions want scotland, or need it for their own victory condition. I know there are some brilliant people here (not me) that may know how to do this...if it is possible.

Sorry, i realize i'm not much help.

So the AI will go after your provinces if it is one of their victory conditions?

Maybe? I don't know. But I bet someone does.

If you want a challenge play the byzantines or the templars

The Templars with Real Recruitment and/or Byg's Mod is a heckuva challenge
