Ultimate AI 1.3

**J.W.K** · February 18, 2007, 11:42 AM

First of all I want to say that LtC is really the best mod I ever played but I have a problem; GViz just released his 1.3 version so I put the following files in the Long Road data map:

descr_campaign_db_ai.xml
descr_diplomacy.xml
descr_faction_standing.txt

So I thought everything was up to date now and I started a France campaign VH/H, but the AI only declares war and it's 1250 now and no one has made an Alliance besides me, in my 2nd test the same thing happened so I guess I did something wrong here...but what?

I used Ultimate AI 1.1 and am now using 1.3... the diplomatic AI is still screwed up (although less so than in 1.1).

In 1.1 I never had anyone attack me... ever. Also, every nation would spontanously for no apparent reason mass declare war (without any hostile action taken).

Once I switched to 1.3, immediately the next turn the English besieged Paris and Milan started haggling with me to pay them off to not attack.

While there's actually war going on now it's far better than it was.

Yet the mass declarations of war still exist.

Russia was recently given a notice that the entire world (minus myself and Byzantium) are now at war with them... every, single, nation. Must suck to be them.

Still some kinks in Ultimate AI it appears.

Well at least you can be neighbors and not HAVE to be at war with them like when we were playing RTW ... I actually think the Ultimate AI with LTC 2.1 plays pretty strong they ally themselves with people that would seem to be in their favor to ally with so as to surround their potential rivals etc. Also I like how the islamic, orthodox, and to a lesser degree the catholic factions stick together!

This is because you need to update the diplomacy section of the descr_strat.txt of LTC as well, otherwise the initialization of AI relations is not normalized to the new system of UAI 1.3!

Once I switched to 1.3, immediately the next turn the English besieged Paris and Milan started haggling with me to pay them off to not attack.

A campaign game started with 1.3 will behave different.

GrandViZ,
What exactly do you need to do to update the diplomacy section of the descr_strat.txt of LTC. All I did was use all the files in your data folder overwriteing the same LTC files.

At the bottom of every descr_strat.txt file is a section that begins with "start of diplomacy section".

You will see entries for faction_standings and faction_relations. Copy all of these from my descr_strat.txt file to that of Lusted and overwrite the entries there.

I can't find any descr_strat.txt within my Landstoconquer/data folder... perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place, but I'd really like to fix the AI problems, it's begining to destroy my French campaign with every nation having 10+ enemies.

Look into the Imperial Campaign folder,isn´t there?

Ah, I'm stupid... thanks.

So is Ultimate AI 1.3 better then 1.2? Im using LTC 2.1 now, and the AI's are to...friendly. When the mongols invaded, they took over one region - they just sat there the whole time.

Any opinions?
