AI diplomacy

[Tony Braim]

Hi-
I've seen some scenarios prevent diplomacy between players and the AI, or between AI civs. Can anyone tell me how this is done?
Thanks

You have to edit the file events.txt for this. The following entry in this file should prevent ALL civs from negotiating:

@IF
NEGOTIATION
talker=ANYBODY
talkertype=HumanOrComputer
listener=ANYBODY
listenertype=HumanOrComputer
@THEN
@ENDIF

But it seems that this works not in every scenario, in another thread, for instance Nemo has said that you need to modify the entry above like this (if I remember exactly):

@IF
NEGOTIATION
talker=ANYBODY
talkertype=HumanOrComputer
listener=ANYBODY
listenertype=HumanOrComputer
@THEN

@ENDIF

Note the blank line between THEN and ENDIF.

You can change the talker, listener and so on to make such an event only for some civs:

@IF
NEGOTIATION
talker=ROMANS
talkertype=HumanOrComputer
listener=GREEKS
listenertype=HumanOrComputer
@THEN
@ENDIF

In the example above, only Romans and Greeks aren´t allowed to have negotiations, but you need a second event, to complete this for both sides (simply exchange in this second event the names of the talker and listener civ)

But then you can have a negotiation trigger and action:

@IF
NEGOTIATION
talker=VICHY
talkertype=HumanOrComputer
listener=GERMANS
listenertype=HumanOrComputer
@THEN
MAKEAGGRESSION
who=Allies
whom=VICHY
@ENDIF
