Better Aggresive CAI for Rome 2 V 3.5 Official Release - Patch 17

[Junaidi83 de Bodemloze]

Junaidi - So is your mod working? Are you uploading a newer version for AIO mod?

Well its not my mod entirely fault, since the real value that caused it, was the vanilla value, suprise- suprise.
Not tonight,probably released the V 2.6 tomorrow,i need also check other campaign as well, not mention run several test to fine tune the value.

I also need to test AIO and see how its gonna fare, since i use vanilla as the WOS campaign tester for now. There is blessing and curse from this new tweak,

Turn 25

1. Sparta launch offensive assassult 2 stack vs me + garrison , the result favour me so i auto resolve and win
2. Argos then mounted another assault, successfull repel this time,
3. Forget the faction name , but its send 2 stack and finally put down me + garrison (considering i already battle weary), and end my rule

The curse : Sometimes they can act irrational

The Blessing : Mostly the AI succesfful capture your settlement, i just remember like playing chess with my friend where he suddenly offering me something that i cant refuse, eg bishop, i eat and turn it its was trap. I realy dont know the AI logic, but to pull that kind of stunt, is realy scared me, i think AI act irrational, perhaps there is hidden motive behind that

I thihnk you're realising versions way too quickly between one and another...take your time. Maybe 2-3 weeks per update is ok.

The mod is save game compatible so you will be ok with any version that is released.

I also need a version for AIO to test out alongside Bran Mac Born version

[GourmetGorilla]

Do you have a fix for babaikasc's save?

My campaign is on hold at Imp. III, and I can see that your mod has severe diplomatic penalties prior to Imp. IV at which point they drop off and are replaced by the ordinary DEI values (which begin at that point with -5 expansionism and so forth).

In addition, if 2.6 is relatively untested, would you consider releasing it alongside 2.5 as opposed to replacing it? Maybe make it a beta edition, for people to try out.

I'm trying the new fixed version 2.5 for DEI, playign normal Odrssian.

Seem to be easier than 2.3 at least in early game, partly because AI isn't as prone to randomly declaring war on you out of nowhere, but I notice that they seem to like to try to move with 2-3 half stacks instead of 1 full stack, which can be easily exploited by players using nightattack / ambush / agents.

Still, I am only +2 region and it's almost 80 turns in, and that was with some luck since the Macedonians and Tylis basically killed each other.

Dont worry its save game compatible, its only fix the bug where CAI dont want to siege walled settlement, which the problem grow bigger when play Wrath of Sparta DLC, but i think it will also improve the other campaign as well.

Will also release the fix for that Imperium problem with new version 2.6 for DeI.Save game compatible

Hmm will look forward, last time i test 2.6, you can see pic above, they moving as full stack, dont know what AI problem. Mostly its related with their own money as well, if they can afford to recruit full stack they do it. But what they cant do, is like disband, and probably merger units from small stack into 1 full like we human can do, never see the AI do that.

i should report a problem i've been getting.

played 2 campaigns, AI is definitely smarter, however i've notice when AI goes to war they tend to leave their capital/regions with low troops.

for example, i was playing epyrus and declared war on the faction on top of me (can't remember their name but it was an half greek, half dacian let's call it faction B) and they were at war with some neighbours (faction C)

faction B had 2 full stacks and i had 1 and a half so sieging wasn't an option so i just fortified my army inside their region, waited a few turns and suddenly those 2 armies were gone to go to war on faction C that didnt have any armies in the borders, only defending the capital of faction C, so i was free to just conquer the only town of faction B...

it was way to easy to kill a few garrison units of faction B!

the same happened on my 2nd campaign with your mod, i was some germanic tribe.

Although i gotta say AI does go to war with some pretty huge stacks and much harder to fight!


btw, your AI is mostly centered around CAI right? which battle AI do you recomend to use alongside your mod?

Its related to AI task, perhaps with 2.6 Version released, the problem will be gone, since AI will be more focus twice on what they should doing, if they defending, they will try to defend properly, if they try do siege , they also siege properly, not half action like you described Sir Swagger.

Battle AI ? Hmm Kam battle AI maybe, hmm Bran Mc Born also made battle AI, hmm you should try look around and see which one suit your like. I pretty much dont have to much experience on BAI, that why i only put 2 mini tweak for BAI, one for kill ratio, another for morale ratio.

But for the battle mechanic like unit speed, attack, accuracy, fatigue,animation i think i pretty much dont have any knowledge for this thing

Better Aggresive CAI for Rome 2 V 2.6 is out, i think its time for me to relax now ....

With this final version is out, i think Rome 2 AI already in very better state right now, and i decide to stop updating this mod, because i also want to enjoy the luxury to be able to play like normal user, modding work especially AI can suck your life without you realize.

But i also will not abandon this mod entirely, since its every modder responsibility to fix the bug inside his own mod.So if you find the bug during the game, you can post it and after the bug number already hits reasonable number, then i will release the fix edition.

Thank you for reading this and enjoy the latest version 2.6. I hope its can satisfied and enchance your gameplay

Now i downloaded your 2.6 version for DeI and in ModManager it says 12 conflicts instead of 1 with DeI. Is there any wrong thing ?

[Junaidi83 de Bodemloze]

Thanks mate

[RollingWave]

Thanks mate, really good mod, 2.6 Odrissian so far : early on took advantage of Macedon and took both Pulpedeva and Pella (though they still had Larissa) but then one of the Pannonia Celtcs rolled around and attacked me, in the process I lost both cities again, recaptured Pulpedeva, only to lose my capital (which they sacked very thoroughly) now I'm back to 2 cities but most of the buildings burned

[Junaidi83 de Bodemloze]

Hmm pretty hardcore
