Concerning the "crazy total war" ia

**olipro** · January 25, 2009, 04:17 PM

Hello,
I am playing with the "crazy total war" ia, because I would like to play a short campaign this time, but I can't bear playing another mod than DLV. (6.0 hotfix 1)

But it seems to have a disfunction :
on the year 1200, every factions are in war. I thing it is the script of that "crazy total war" ia.

But nobody make war :
indeed, I am english, and the scottish only have one town. Since 1200 (The year now is 1225), no faction gained any territory. Every body stay calm and there is no battle at all. I can win by attacking every body because every army get out of my way : they seem to be scared of me.

So : is there a way to "unlock" that ia ?
Is it normal ?

(sorry for my horrible frenchy english)

I assume he chose Total War style in the last drop down window at the beginning of the campaign (the YES option, I assume).

Unfortunately, I have never tried that option, so cannot help there. But I could suggest choosing the CIV option ( NO in the drop down window) and give a shot at a short campaign. It will not be that short though, but you will have enough fighting if you want.

I read this : they don't advise to be on the historical campaign when I select the "total war" ai.

I can't remember where I read it, but repman said that the Total War AI option didn't work so well on the Imperial (Main) Campaign. I can tell you for certain that it works quite well on the Historical Campaign. I was playing KoJ and not only was I unable to get a ceasefire, I was unable to get trade rights most of the time, and within 10 turns or so, Milan, Venice, and Sicily started taking turns blockading my ports. Total War is evil. Evil like Damien from the Omen evil.
