Enemy Generals

[BiggBudd]

Hi, am really impressed so far with SPQR 7.0, cant find any thing I need to mod to improve my PERSONAL game, however in my past versions Ive always increased the number of men in enemy general units to about 80 men, I found he lasted longer that way, and it seemes more realistic too. I always wondered why Lt never increase them himself to make it harder to kill the enemy general, does having more men make the ai more likely to attack useing the general? would defeat the purpose of adding them if it did, or is there another reason why I should keep the unit small in men as Lt intended?

Basically the STRONGER you make the AI generals the more they want to suicide. lol Also when a general Gets more Stars there Unit size increases. Its up to you if you want to test larger sizes do it. I am curious how agressive the generals will get when you increase their size. ;-) Dont target the general if you want more of a challenge.

It may be good to make enemy generals missile units like your own, so they try to keep him out of combat. I don't know if thats already in SPQR 7, if not I'll figure it out and do it myself eventually.

i was just gonna say that too

what if they were skirmish horsemen too?

but still have their attack and all that the same level as normal

this way they would stay as strong as normal, but still not go suicidal

i don' t think it is in SPQR 7 becous i didn' t see any enemie general throw javalins at my troops. and thy still charge in.

[Valerius Tiberius]

yeah, but i wanted to ask LT if he could put it in?

[lt1956]

It would require the models to be edited its not just a text thing. Besides the AI usually doesnt have too much of a problem of losing their generals UNLESS the PLAYER targets them with Missile units which in that case it would matter as the player can do that with or without enemy general Missiles.

It was only needed for the player as that allows the player to have AI backup IF they want. Systems can handle larger battles and before it was so bad that you could bet you would lose the general if you allowed AI help. Now its better. As for the AI enemy they breed like Rabits so they can lose ALL their family and make more. ;-)

Well the AI in my games always loses their generals in battle, which causes an early rout. Hannibal died right away when I fought him, and I never ever target enemy generals.

[Valerius Tiberius]

yeah, they sometimes tend to charge forward....

[lt1956]

Mine tend to live too long which costs me alot of men. lol still I wouldnt want the generals to survive all the time otherwise you would never have routs true?

i allways try to kill the general becous i love the routing armies. but i never kill them in the first 15 min of the battle i always try to kill them at the end. i do this becous i want vengeance becous thy invaded my lovely italie.
