AI command bonus

**nightwar** · May 10, 2007, 03:30 PM

I was curius does LTC use the mod that gives AI generals command stars?

**Lusted** · May 10, 2007, 03:31 PM

No it does not.

**nightwar** · May 10, 2007, 03:33 PM

Lusted you dont find that helps the AI be a better enemy?

**DrJambo** · May 10, 2007, 04:39 PM

I use this and it certainly does help, if the AI is using a general. However, the real problem is often that the AI uses captains instead of generals to lead their armies, and there's no way to give boosts to captains.

Drjambo how did u include this in LTC?

**DrJambo** · May 10, 2007, 06:28 PM

I added the following traits to the traits file:

Code:

;------------------------------------------
Trait AIGeneral
    Characters family
    Hidden
    AntiTraits AIGenerala

    Level AIGeneral
        Description AIGeneral_desc
        EffectsDescription AIGeneral_effects_desc
        Threshold  1 
	
        Effect Command 2
        Effect MovementPoints 2
        Effect HitPoints  4	
        Effect Fertility 2	
		

;------------------------------------------
Trait AIGenerala
    Characters family
    Hidden
    AntiTraits AIGeneral

    Level AIGeneral
        Description AIGenerala_desc
        EffectsDescription AIGenerala_effects_desc
        Threshold  1

And then the following triggers:

Code:

;------------------------------------------
Trigger AIGeneral01
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnStart

    Condition not CharacterIsLocal
	      and Trait AIGeneral < 1

    Affects AIGeneral  1  Chance  100 
    Affects NightBattleCapable 1 Chance 5
	
;------------------------------------------
Trigger AIGeneral02
    WhenToTest CharacterTurnStart

    Condition CharacterIsLocal
	      and Trait AIGeneral > 0

    Affects AIGenerala  1  Chance  100

Thanks man!

**Queen Annes Revenge** · May 10, 2007, 07:32 PM

i've noticed that in 1.2 the AI leads armies with generals much more often.

**Foreign Fruitcake** · May 11, 2007, 01:48 PM

So have I. And it's good to see General units accompanied by large forces and not poncing around the map on their own.

;------------------------------------------
