AI Behavior

IS there anyway to tone down the AI aggressiveness. Or is this just a factor of RTW? It just seems impossible to maintain peace with anyone. I know its TOTAL WAR but I don't like being at war with every nation and not being able to make peace with anyone.

Also what is the Imperial Jealousy part of the script do? Just curious

Thanks

One thing you can do is play on Medium.

There's also the Forced Diplomacy mod, but I don't know if it works for RS.

If I want to get out of a nonsense war, I give myself a ton of money via the console, sweeten the peace offer with it, and then take it away via the console from the faction I gave it to.

Force diplomacy does work with RS.

As for aggressiveness, apart from playing in medium, there's not much that can be done.

I was already playing on medium. So force diplomacy how do I do that? I think the AI in RS is the biggest let down for me. Although it is probably not there fault I am guessing more of the engine itself. Other then that it is very good.

Force Diplomacy Modification for Roma Surrectum II by DVK901

Many thanks to DimeBagHo

This small modification allows the player to force any AI faction to agree to any diplomatic demands, which can help to counteract the poor importance of diplomacy in RTW, and the ridiculous stubborness of the AI factions. Now the player can make proper treaties, and force other factions to pay indemnities or become a vassal state. It is best used when the player only forces the AI to accept demands that the player would accept themself if they were in the AI faction's position.

How to use Force Diplomacy in Campaign:

1. Press Esc
2. Go to Game Options
3. Tick the box for "Reset Advisor" and continue back to the campaign map.
4. Engage the diplomacy window with another faction via a diplomat.
5. Click the "?" in the top right hand corner of the diplomacy window
6. The advisor will appear. Click "show me" and then click the advisor's face to make it go away.
7. Select the offers/demands as required.
8. Offer these to the AI faction. It will accept them.

NOTE:
a) This process must be repeated each time that you would like to force your diplomatic actions on the AI.
b) The AI cannot agree to demands that it physically cannot carry out (e.g. it cannot give you money it does not/will not have).

You don't need to install anything, since Force Diplomacy already comes with RS.

Indeed, I simply copied/pasted the content of the read me.
I've removed the offending parts.
