How to reduce AI stack spaming?

[milosh]

Hello, all!

I really hope somebody can help me. Is there a file where you can control how much AI can spam stacks and get free money when bankrupt? Basically I want to be able to experiment with it, to try and make this great mode a little better for me. I want to feel that I did something to AI when I defeat his big army with pure battle tactics.
However, if not able to to control it, is there at least a way to remove it (stack spam).

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I do not want to use Baron's Samedi mode.

You know that you can disable every other feature apart from reduced Stack Spam?
You would have Vanilla with less Stack Spam, no problem here.

But the file you want is the campaign script.

Perhaps he just doesn't want to download all 400 mb of it, or maybe he's just using a different mod .

If I was using it, I would probably post the file in question, but alas...

You could play around with scripts like the "campaign_script".
There you can edit/lower AI advantages regarding money, invasions, "last stand" stack spams and stuff. It is easily understanable, if you just play around a bit (don't forget to backup) you will have no problem with it. Same goes for other files like "descr_strat" where you can change start conditions, money, resources etc.

I myself have edited these as well, as I always love to start slowly so I lower the money/starting buildings and units of each faction, weaken the AI for the beginning (as it would be impossible then for me when starting slow) and everythign works fine. I am running a cool Rohan campaign on vh/vh am at turn 150, all factions are still alive and pretty balanced atm, Isengard did not trouble me the first few rounds, i could start slowly and they grew stronger and stronger and it became more difficult, so exactly how i wanted it to be

If you play around with it a bit and change some things, you should be able to get the effect you want.
Also take a look into the FAQ - you can certainly find usefull info there as well.

Please do ask such single questions in the "Ask Questions here Thread" next time.
Thanks.
