Succession Game IX - Don't throw those bloody spears at me!

[Maquiladora]

I really like it, despite what our game showed theres a really good balance between development and war.

We made some mistakes in our game and we werent really used to the tree in the game, not knowing what units to research etc so we were always playing catch up without a plan, which didnt give us time later for development and which eventually killed us, and we were also completely surrounded. Not even a coastline to leave undefended, we had to defend every side.

Diplomacy was on and off but seems more effective than in Cradle. AI army stacking isnt as quick as Cradle's AI (dont think CtC includes frenzy AI?), but theres just as many units around.

Just one more question

One last point -how was the AI to AI dipolamcy? Downloded the mod and was looking over the files. It seems diplomacy is not based on Diplomod 3.5( which is in Cradle) or 3.6 ( which is in SP2). Diplomod was one of the first key changes to CtP2 as 1.11 version had no AI to AI diplomacy. Fixed in new play tests at last!
What Peter has seemed to do for Conquest is give the AI a mind set to go after the Civ that expands too fast
Which in most cases is the human player. Other words the regard of the Civs drops as your empire grows.
Find this kind of gameplay in EU2 -Hearts of Iron or Civ3. Do have this right ? Might try 3.5 in Conquest but might make the AI too easy to beat . Well im finished posting here and again I enjoyed the battle the AI gave you did you see a unit that looked like the kitchen sink?

well, i dont know about this game, but the Ai alway cease fire after war... they randomly end up at war, but the next turn they stop

a ship?

I like the idea that regard drops as you expand, maybe as your miltary might goes up to. Anyone know if that made it into the code (I'm hoping that now Peter is into coding he'll do some fixing of the diplomacy too).

[Protra3211]

Me too E. Going to look up old threads to Conquest and see what Peter did to change AI diplomacy. Make a post to address this mod. Maybe if Peter has time from coding he could tell us how his diplomacy differs from other mods. This game shows that the AI will not keep long term treaties or be fooled by gifts .Peter did say that AI looks to see who has the most units and will rethink its diplomacy .

Unfortunately, I won't join this succession game, my new life does not let me enough time...

[Maquiladora]

Too bad Tamerlin, who knows, we might even win this time... what am saying, of course we will now

[HuangShang]

yes APs (for anyone who know what they are) will be over in 3 weeks so after that, i'll be done w/ my turn w/in 20 hr of it getting to me every time...like Maq...

explore AoM, and a succession game can become very interesting esp. if we start early

[EPW]

I'd like to play again if you guys don't mind, I promise I won't leave midgame again....

[HuangShang]

i think we're waiting for AoM
and im getting thru APs right now
hey you are now in california...

[EPW]
