War Reparations and Treaties

[ben5010]

Hello TWC community

Lately I have noticed an obstinancy in the ETW AI towards trade or demand of money, technologies, or settlements, particularly when I am beating them badly in war. This relly irks me; when I am knocking on the door of an enemy's defenceless capitol they should be willing to give anything to get me to go away nicely. I have tried messing around with campaign-related variables in db editor to no avail. (I changed the value War_and_peace to 1250 from 1000, could this be the cause?) How do I change the willingness of the AI to give money or techs or regions etc?

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

I would recommend to use Darthmod AI. If you want play your game vanilla you can use DM alone without DMUC. Here you go: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1126
With this the AI will act smarter.

Thanks for the advice. I tried this, but unfortunately it makes no difference. Does anyone know where/how to manually change the factors that go into these decisions of the AI?

You can also change the BIAS weight in campaign_ai-personality_junctions tables (DB).
When you raise the value of diplomatic in spending BIAS the AI have more money for such things.
If the AI then use it more? Don´t know....

Hmm not seeing these values. All I can find are BASIC_DESIREs and BAWPs both of which have some values that look promising.
Thank you again for helping me.

have been playing around with the values, but it is not seeming to have any effect. Thanks for the help though, shokh
