Some help

[Steven the conqueror]

well, im using the darth mod 1.4 and decided to make a testing campaing to see what things I dont like so i can mod them so i need help with some of them (note that I havent finish the test so maybe there will be more questions)

1. battle AI , still pretty mediocre to me but im thinking to download the -ultimate battle IA 1.2- so dont worry about this

2. reputation, yeah you see I play a chivalrius game for about 50 turns and just stay in mixed, but for one little screw up I get drop to dubios, after gifting some settlements and lots of money I get back to mixed so, can I give a boost to the reputation?? like more reputation for things such as ocupping settlements or freeing prisioners

if I need something more ill put it here

+rep for the usefull answers

[Gigantus]

No idea about the AI, but your diplomatic reputation will stay\get high if you only occupy settlements and free prisoners. The more you choose 'lower' options the lower your reputation goes. And breaking a treaty (ally, trade) or attacking a neutral faction gets you real deep into the smelly stuff, reputation wise. Attacking generals on crusade\jihad doesn't help either.

descr_faction_standings.txt is also the file for determining the global standing, which is 'reputation'.

thanks taiji rep for you

see gigantus I have been totally chivalrious for all the game and I havent reached even reliable ,in vainilla I was trustworthy for most of the campaing but in this mod is really difficult

[Ishan]

I can feel u bro there are always certain small things that affects the style of the player and which ultimately he has to mod himself.

[Taiji]

One pretty obvious but often overlooked technique for getting a good reputation is to make promises and then deliver on them.

So go to war and promise everyone you're kicking these guys asses for everyone else's sake. Keep gifting factions with 'assistance provided against' and then deliver on the promise.

Assuming you release prisoners, don't trespass, don't start wars, don't abandon defending allies for their attackers, and all the rest, then this should help.

I sometimes manage to get 'Immaculate' reputation this way

That's is all u need to get good rep in the game. the most easy way for military assistance as Taiji mentioned is to promise to attack rebels which are always there and make sure u have military access to their lands.

[Gigantus]

That's kinda sneaky! Never tried myself - did I get that right: you make war against one faction and then you 'gift' all other factions assistance against that faction?

[Ishan]

That's kinda sneaky!

Yep i know. I'm the Evil lord of M2.

[Taiji]

Yes. And the contract is complete upon attacking them once, so you can do it every round...

It's an exploit, I guess

[Steven the conqueror]

just to be sure, I get into descr_faction_standings.txt and for example I change

Trigger 0103_occupy_settlement_increase_global
WhenToTest OccupySettlement
FactionStanding global 0.05
FactionStanding target_faction normalise -0.5 20
FactionStanding target_allies normalise 0.0 40
FactionStanding target_enemies normalise -0.5 20

to

Trigger 0103_occupy_settlement_increase_global
WhenToTest OccupySettlement
FactionStanding global 0.10
FactionStanding target_faction normalise -0.5 20
FactionStanding target_allies normalise 0.0 40
FactionStanding target_enemies normalise -0.5 20

that will make I get a better reputation for occupying settlements right???

[Taiji]

I think so

[Steven the conqueror]

I think so

yeah you know I was expecting a confident yes xD I will try

[Taiji]

yeah you know I was expecting a confident yes xD I will try

I figure if I don't sound super confident then you're more likely to test your work

But then also it's not a file I've really played with much. That 'global' refers to reputation is not really a tested conclusion of mine, it's just an educated guess. It's not impressive if I'm right but it's a huge gaping mystery if I'm wrong, or something like that

[Ishan]

Yes it will work 100%, Taiji's i think so meant exactly the same.
Anyways the max you can have is 1.0 the min u can have is -1.0.

Btw if u were confident on this thing on vanilla u should just replaced the file in the current mod u are playing.

[Steven the conqueror]

it works 100% im trutworthy!!! I put occupying settlements from 0.5 to 0.8 and releasing from 0.1 to 0.3 also there many are untrustworthy and mixed factions so it is balanced

[Taiji]

The circle is complete, now you are the master

[Ishan]

Well congratulations mate.
