The computer seems to attack more when counter-attacking then the computer aggressively attacking you. In a big sense, it's all an issue of aggression, to me, yours and the computers. I have games where the Computer AI will put up a good fight on various occasions. So the descriptions other have of a brutal Seleucid campaign are possible. The games are variable, so it's not impossible for people to have different experiences. Prolly even worse, by upgrading all to tier 4 it needs every unit it can muster to keep down rebellions The AI probably doesn't calculate whether it should go up the next tier, it'll just keep upgrading their cities inexorably to T4, while at the same time building a bunch of troops and sitting them, spending all their cash. It has a lot to do with how cities are handled now. Going to war is bad, AI can't handle wars very well against each other. Navies are just blindly sailing around OR constantly Raiding for centuries!ĥ. (Seriously I've seen armies sitting in a forest for decades, someone probably drop a Denari).Ĥ. Marching stacks into Attrition zones and attrition to death. Sitting their Army Stacks around their city and do nothing.ģ. Raising single unit Armies and sailing them around.Ģ. The AI builds armies, but they are totally random. Empires consistently go into rebellion, however, on the bright side, the AI isn't starving all the time now. The AI is incapable of managing their empires, primarily because it's probably not programmed properly. turn? Can't you at least put a measure in place where they give it a rest for a few years after a stern declination? Refusing to do so will lead to my destruction, yes, but you will have no peace, neither night nor day." It just doesn't make sense.Īnd why do they demand more and more exorbitant amounts based on how much money you have? How do they know how much money I have? Why would me having lots of money mean I'd want to pay upwards of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DENARII for a trade agreement worth less than 100/year? Who programmed it like this.? Why do they have active employment within a successful AAA company? Why do the same factions spam you down with the same absurd "offers" every. You will give me gold, and you will give me gold now. When I'm about to be crushed by a far, far stronger empire, I don't usually have the stupidity to say, "NOW LOOK HERE, YOU. That's what annoyed me in that DevChat recently, how they said something along the lines of, "They're asking you for money for that peace treaty because they're not entirely sure whether peace is a good idea, and the money's just the sweetener". In the case of factions hanging onto to their last settlement, they still have the audacity to demand money from even though my empire could crush them like a bugĪgreed. Every time I press End Turn it's dozens of factions demanding exorbitant sums for random treaties that make no sense. The diplomacy AI is pretty active alright, active asking for money. So every time I play I fell like this happens. One small rebellion happened that did not effect me in anyway way, in fact the city's garrison took care of them when they attack.īy turn 8 I had 30k in my treasury, 2 armies (one made up of mercs), allies, and good trade. While they are busy there I take Alex and Meph. Apparently they wen't west with their 9 stack army and took a town. At the point i'm confused on what is going on. Turn 5, I move a spy next to Alex and Memphis but both towns are empty.
Turn 4, I take their eastern towns without any resistance. I was even offered 5k to join a war that was way up north and would never effect me.Īnyway, back on topic, I finally have 20 stack ready to march on Egypt. I figured that out on turn 2 when every offer was "here, take my gold for trade, alliance, or help with my war".
Before that, almost everyone around me wants to trade/ally with me. I start by building a 2 stack army to march on Egypt. I tried Seleucid campaign today and it went down like this:
I don't know how people are saying they have great campaigns.
