general queries about gameplay
i Have played about 120 turns of a kimmerios bosporos campaign and have noticed some strange things and was looking for a reason why they are there, some of these might be minor bugs or unchangeable aspects of the game.
1. the diplomat you get at the beginning of the game is very influential and improves as the game goes on, however other diplomats i have recruited have nit increased in the scrolls. I was wondering how that mechanic works.
2. sometimes the ai will just give you money when you come to them asking for trade rights or something, not asking fir anything in return. it also sometimes appears to be the last of their cash with strange amounts like 186 minai
3. the saoramotae would send armies across my land completely bypassing settlements, that were sometimes almost completely unguarded, they seemed to be heading for the hayasdan area, but never got there because I had expanded in that direction a swell and intercepted them. this was while we were at war. what were they trying to do.
4. if you lose a battle the ai will give you your prisoners back quite often, despite abysmal relations. Why?
5. factions pick strange targets/ fights. After expanding into the hayasdan area they declared war on me despite good relations and plenty of rebel settlements with small garrisons close by, while i had quite a large army in the area that they could see.
6. once as the arverni carthage blockaded the port of that town that is direcly south of the adui capital, then the next turn sued for peace and trade rights.
7. in the diplomacy interface the tick graphic and the x graphic will switch place randomyl, but the place of th egraphic corresponds to its original purpose, even thoug it is an x i click it and accept a deal.
8. factions will garrison town strangely, a border town will have 2 low level troops, while a capital will have armies milling about aimlessly, main offenders are the makedon, they left tylis with 1 unit guarding it, despite being at war with pergamon who could have taken it as easily as i did. using spies and ships i was able to steal the settlement basically for free. side note is that a moral decision, am I unfairly taking advantage of the ai?
9. from toggling fog of war i could see what the numidian horde did, they acted very strangely, they are yet to take a settlement despite being a horde for about 50 turns or so. what are they doing?
it would be great to here an explanation of these aspects of the game, and maybe how to fix the weird x and tick switch.
