all against sparta!!!

**Spartan 666** · October 31, 2008, 09:05 AM

i'm new with this mod, and something really get me upset!

i started a campaign as lakedaimon...well, my bad economy forces me to conquer either argos or elis...but when i am laying siege to argos, an army of kyrene lands in laconia and conquers sparta! swaring, i take it back...the following turn, what happens? an army of lydia lands and attacks sparta! i repel them...and the following? an army of ionia!!!! and the following? an army of athens, which finally defeated me....

i tried to solve this removing the fleets and the ports from all these factions, but it can only delay what cannot be avoided, i mean a mass invasion of the peloponnesus...

is this intentional??? because i also tried to edit the factions' core attitudes, but it was useless...

oh, and this did not happen in one campaign, but in all 5 or 6 spartan campaigns i TRIED to play...

Wow that's really unexpected but useful. On which difficulty are u playing? Are you using the BI or the RTW exe? BI tends to show a more aggressive naval AI than RTW normally.
Maybe changing the 'prefers_naval_invasions yes' lines to 'no' in ROP/data/descr_sm_factions.txt will help.

After I reed this post - question come - how to play ROP with BI exe?

That's explained here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...99#post3135699

infact i'm playing a VH campaign and H battles with the -bi.exe to use the shield wall ability....do you think that's the problem?
i'll try to set no to "prefers naval invasions" as you suggested...i'll tell you if this works!

thx for the help

**Nero666** · November 01, 2008, 06:31 AM

Yes that's definitely it, naval invasions are much much more common in BI. Let me know

**Spartan 666** · November 12, 2008, 09:33 AM

i tried to play without the BI.exe and that mass invasion didn't occur. i will try with the alex.exe...

Grrr... the worst thing that happened with me was, after I was quite happily conquering Asia Minor, 2 stacks of Taras and a stack of Kyrene landed right next to Sparta, and generally where I had no troops. I had to abandon my campaign and my Ionian allies and withdraw all my troops

But fantastic mod all the same, it certainly gave me a challenge

You should have ground the Tarantines and Kyreneians into hamburger before you set off to Asia, then.
