AI Trick? Would this work?????

[Carthage General]

Hi all, we all saw what happens when there is a -10 in the core_attitudes YOU CANT ATTACK A FACTION WITHOUT POP (in the bottom of the descr_strat file). Now alot of people most likely may want to control what how the AI acts, by that i mean no dumb wars between germans and gauls, so they focus on eachother and waste all their armies on the other fights and you get scraps. So would it work if i put -10 to germans and gauls and dacians so it would tell the AI LOL you need more populartiy with the senate???? Would this work? and WOULD I STILL BE ABLE TO ATTACK THEM??? THANK YOU

While you are correct in surmising that negative values prevent bloodshed as they represent friendship, there are two problems with your hypothesis. First, the inability to attack due to insufficient popularity applies only to those factions that have the senate as their superfaction, namely, the Roman houses, and then only between each other, other factions have no such restrictions. Second, core_attitudes is just a underlying value that modifies how factions feel towards each other, other factors still play a part, such as border length, which is the primary reason the Gauls and Germans (or any two factions) keep going to war.
