It appears each factions AI is defined in the startpos.esf file. This being the case, is giving money to aid in their war against a common enemy help in anyway?

Is pumping an AI faction full of money a viable strategy?

Are you serious Engrish? I can clearly understand what he is saying. But just for you I'll translate.
Does giving money to your ally actually help? The faction AI, in the startpos.esf file, shows that they cheat to give themselves money anyway. So does it really make a difference?since each factions AI is defined in the startpos.esf file and they cheat if they need any money anyways is giving money to a faction to help them in their war against a commone enemy do any good?

Helps quite a bit actually. Commas work wonders.

89% of teens would die today if Facebook was destroyed. if you are one of the 11% that would be laughing, copy and paste this to your signature.
65 percent of teenagers spend more time watching TV rather then reading ,if you are part of the 35 percent who read more than watch TV and are proud of it, copy and paste this into your profile.
98 percent of the population has a myspace. If you're one of the 2 percent that isn't an emo bastard, copy and paste this in your profile
93 percent of teenagers would have an emotional breakdown if someone called them a freak. If you are part of the 7 percent that would say "What was your first clue?", copy this onto your profile'
Re: Is pumping an AI faction full of money a viable strategy?
Is there a way to make the AI not cheat for money? I'd like to believe there's more purpose to raiding towns than just drawing armies out of region capitals.

Re: Is pumping an AI faction full of money a viable strategy?
Surely the point is to attack their punctuation. Not their capitals. He hardly used any capitals anyway.
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Pardon the pun, it was too good to pass.
Honestly, I could read the OP clearly. Far be it from me to chide others for bad English when I can't speak a word of their language, let alone post on a forum... So kudos to Aronnov for trying!

Re: Is pumping an AI faction full of money a viable strategy?
I suspect C.A made the A.I cheat (both on Campaign and battle map) because of its poor performances. The Native Americans are Uber as well as Pirates, take that from them then they are a walk over.
The A.I on the battle map knows the exact range of your cannons, so they will usually stay just outside that range, usually then forcing the player to abandon their well prepaired fortifications to go hunt them down. The A.I can support many stacks of units even if it has just one region remaining, if it didnt cheat then the player could simply take the region without any serious fight. etc etc

Re: Is pumping an AI faction full of money a viable strategy?
My thoughts exactly. I don't even bother with raiding parties since it clearly doesn't impact the AI's bottomless pit of wealth.
You give me a headache.

I gave Marathas 100,000 a turn and they went from feeble power to Terrifying within turns, they use the money to recruit.

Re: Is pumping an AI faction full of money a viable strategy?

Re: Is pumping an AI faction full of money a viable strategy?
That is great to know. I always tried this in RTW, but I don't think the AI acutally spent the money.
Re: Is pumping an AI faction full of money a viable strategy?
i hate this game.

Re: Is pumping an AI faction full of money a viable strategy?
this game hates you...?
can you at least give a reason? maybe we could then discourse upon Empire's many failings and successes. or you could just say that you hate this game and give no reason,. that works to i suppose.
