Diplomatic AI

[AchillesXX]

First let me say I am very excited about this mod! I think I will have to quit my job and divorce my wife when it is finally released - I hope you can live with yourselves!

Question though, are you in any way changing the seriously flawed diplomacy in the game? I don't even know if it is possible. But, I hope the mod will accurately reflect the rich and diverse relationships between City States. If not, I totally understand, and I'm excited anyway!

Most aspects of it are hardcoded I know, but someone better-informed will have to elaborate.

...and divorce my wife when it is finally released

What's she look like? I might consider taking her off your hands.

LOL Spartan - I always knew I liked you, but then, you have the good sense to play XGM, so whats not to like? Just keep your hands off my wife.

Yes, unfortunately the AI is hardcoded. I always found the AI of R:TW bit too harsh (most neighbors will attack you eventually). The best TW AI is definately found in Medieval2:TW (if you play Stainless Steel, then you know what I mean).

But I believe some other mods of RTW made use of scripts ....I believe XGM: Diadochi used some kind of script so the AI had to make peace/trade rights with ya if you apply it. Cant remember it all exactly but it was something like that.

EDIT: It's FORCE DIPLOMACY! I just looked it up

What's not to like? Well, I'm soon-to-be a Heg beta tester. Niener niener niener...

Force diplomacy only forces them to make peace/trade rights/whatever, but does nothing in regards to them maintaining it...

Still, I think it would benefit Heg to have both force diplomacy and peace with the dead scripts implemented.
