(updated 2/26/2019) My new and improved AI errr 3.0

[napoleonic]

gracul ai is great if you want constant warfare but not for a balanced game.

how do you define a balanced game? for me balanced should also mean it's unpredictable for human player, if things always went the same way then it's unbalanced because human can always know how the game unfold.

what do you think about enabling all factions to use naval invasions?

[beermugcarl]

with the naval invasions it really does depend.
i've always been in favour of a fake bridge from devon to flanders but i do understand why people don't like that ^_^

the issue is repercussions, remember everytime you change one thing hundreds of others change. if i turn on naval invasions for france then they focus north, so aragon spreads throughout france more, so spain crushes the moors.

and balanced means, things changing due to events. if france and germany are allied and england declares war on germany i want france to invade england or defend germany. i don't everyone to be at war ALL THE TIME.
and equally i don't want everyone to be at peace all the time.

so i trigger random alliances and encourage this by making the ai diplomats have more movement speed. but then you get upset when i mess with the 'core' files

uhm, i know that it says the misc mods version should work with anything, but does that include other mods too(other than ss) and vanilla? i've only seen third age and ss being talked about here. i play KGCM so i want to know if it would work on that too

Now I can use this with my base installation of Stainless Steel, ja? The only mod I have at the moment is Devy's Real Rebellion, but this seems like a pretty good mod.

[napoleonic]

so where is the new version?

[tono4850]

is it compatible with BGR ?

[WarDog82]

I cannot begin the game.After screen SS6.4 - game out to Desktop.SS6.6+SS6.4+fix.teutonic+fix.hospitalier+HURB 5.4+My Campaign AI Project v1.2

[Andytheplatypus]

I don't think Teutonic and hospitaller fix are compatible with hurb. That's probably your issue

[WarDog82]

SS6.3+SS6.4+fix.teutonic+fix.hospitalier+HURB 5.4 work very well.
The crash begin only after added My Campaign AI Project v.1.2

[Siddyus]

Great AI, however it makes the Mongols and Timurids somewhat passive. In the 2 campaigns I've played, it takes them 50-100+ turns before they start attacking another faction besides the Khwarezm.

What are the compatibility issues like? I tried setting this up with MSC and HURB and got an immediate CTD.

[kyfohatl]

Hello, this AI mod looks really nice and I would like to use it. But I am running BGRV, so my question is: Does this mod only edit AI behavior or does it also change bonuses given to AI (like income) as well? The reason I ask is that BGRV introduces a manpower system that diminishes the player's ability to recruit. To balance that, it also greatly reduces the AI income bonuses. So if this mod edits AI bonuses like income & moral the game might become unbalanced. Also, BGRV has implemented AI for things like supply (so AI armies do not run out of supply)... so would this not conflict with that? Do you think this mod would be compatible with BGRV?

[Siddyus]

Just download the misc mods version. It will work on any mods out there no probs. Proven and tested.

[dollardar]

Is it compatible with vanilla SS 6.4 ?
Loved it !

[Ayyubid]

For the 5.4 HURB, did anybody CTD and system log error message saying - 29:23.843 [game.script] [error] Script execution error for <if>, at line 3507, in mods/SS6.3/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/campaign_script.txt:

01:29:33.394 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.



and after tracing the log, I got this error

Any help to resolve this would be much appreciated. I haven't been able to test this mod for a few weeks because of this error unfortunately.

[stevietheconquer]

did you try console command toggle_fow and watch ai make his turns?

[Ayyubid]

did you try console command toggle_fow and watch ai make his turns?

I did that. I tried everything that the forums have said to try. It freezes on the Rebels turn, then crashes. I've tried moving certain characters that I thought my be responsible to completely different areas, but there was no change at all in the CTD. I think it's something that has to do with a faction appearing at a certain time but i'm not sure.

[Degnan]

I copied files from HURB into data/SS and now SS doesn't launch
