Brewster's CAI!

[irish437]

I started a Prussian campaign on VH/VH and took your mod out of the data folder to see what would happen so I am baclk to playing vanilla for a comparison. France seemed to stall in Bavaria and make peace with everyone except me. But they aren't attacking, but they appear to have Paris guarded decently but have ignored garrisoning Brittany or Normandy. Suprisingly Britain declared war on me and attacked West Prussia with 2 full stacks. Took over East Prussia and then marched on Poland and the Region Southeast of there that I had taken from the Austrians.

Spain is attacking me as much as they can. Russia declares war on me basically every other turn. They may stop attacking now though with Britain in control of alot of land on their border.

After this, I'll play with your mod and see what happens.

VH/VH is almost insane. Its alot of fun, but no real possible way to build an Empire with Prussia. Everyone hates the Prussians.

[General Brewster]

sure hope you have fun man!

[irish437]

Its fun. Real fun actually. France could stomp me whenever they choose though. They have 6 stacks within reach of Berlin. For whatever reason they aren't attacking. Austria is a thorn in my side.

My only complaint is that everyone is at peace except at war with me. Napoleon should be trying to advance and we should be trying to stop him. This is supposed to be campaigns of the coalition afterall.

[General Brewster]

thus is the fate of Vanilla NTW.

[irish437]

thus is the fate of Vanilla NTW.

I am going to pop in your mod after this campaign is over and see what goes differently. Does Napoleon just stop at Bavaria in Vanilla or will he ever press to Russia?

Anyway that you know of to get the nations to start wars with eachother?

[General Brewster]

I never saw Nappy come there that's why I made this mod.

I have no clue they probably won't at all.

[irish437]

Just curious, how did you mod the campaign AI. For example, how did you get Napoleon to invade Russia?

Could you also have him send troops to SPain? Could you have Britain supply troops to their allies, etc.

I would love to see more multi national battles.

[General Brewster]

Increased the values 10 fold in the DB
It's a tricky job cause you can make the AI crazy for instance they could turn out only to aid allies not do anything else etc.

[irish437]

Can you teach me how to do this?

Are there aggressiveness ratings against each country/provence or is there just an overall rating?

For Example, if I wanted France to Invade Britain(London Region), is there a specific aggressiveness for France just for that?

In Vanilla, the British AI will invade Hanover, Denmark, and East/West Prussia. I have never seen them go after SPain. Is there something that would make them concentrate on Spain?

[General Brewster]

Sure you got steam ?
I'll teach you how to do it though there

[irish437]

Yeah, I got steam. How do we hook up on there?

[General Brewster]

add me as a friend.

[Noif de Bodemloze]

I must say this is crazy brilliant mod. Need to try.

[General Brewster]

Thanks Noif!

Hey Brewster,

In Darthmod, it looks like they may be using the following settings. They claim to be getting some fantastic campaign AI and Naval invasions. I was just wondering how these changes compare to the ones you made and if you see anything in here that would allow for more naval invasions with you mod. Thanks.

Looking at it mine seems to be more aggressive.

[The Hedge Knight]

Thats not how one would make the Ai recruit bigger navies. Also why would France in the napoleonic wars have a lower expansion behaviour than everyone else?

[irish437]

Interesting. He was saying he saw Denmark and Britain doing Naval Invasions, etc. But maybe that was just against France.

I've been playing your AI and Radious AI. Just completed a Russian Campaign with Radious AI and it was pretty good.

Pros I saw from it was France had a huge Navy and I was naval invaded through the black sea. France would go hard at recapturing regions that they lost.

Cons were that Britain was way too passive. France had a chance to Overrun Poland, but kind of just stopped. That would have opened up the motherland to them. Minors including Sweden really didn't get involved much at all.

One thing I noticed from yours last time I played Britain was that France pretty much left Britanny and Normandy undefended and never attempted to get them back. I moved some troops accross the channel, took those regions and marched down to SPain.

So I am going to go back to yours and note the differences.

My thoughts exact.

[irish437]

Which AI is more aggressive between yours and Hedgeknight's? What are the main differences? You guys seem to think alike.
