When the AI does crazy stuff.....

Post by NoRtyByN8uRe »

Here's a pic from a game I just started:

One of my opponents has built like 20 bridges leading to my territory. What causes the AI to do stuff like this? lol

i need to figure out a way to modify the AI in this game.

also i notice my opponents never build walls... or for example i sent a ship across the map and attacked an opponents city center near the shore line and burned it to the ground, nobody tried to stop me.

is the AI bugged in this game sometimes?

Most likely he tried to access the region blocked by palisade, thinking it's a river block and spamming bridges.

AI should build walls, at least on plains map.
You can always change production/building order, by editing ALL files in folders:
EE2: aips
AOS: aips_ee2x
(I recommend using Notepad++ for that)

But it won't fix AI behavior which is hardcoded in game executables.

Are you playing EE2 or EE2: AOS?

aos with th 1.5 patch

I dont like infinite resourses so i changed like this

Code: Select all

UnitType ResourceGold
{
	parent = ResourceNotTree
	
	properties {
		displayName = tx_utn_Gold_name
		mmColor = [192,192,0,255]
		VerboseTooltip = vtt_unit_Gold
	}
	abilities [ 
		Resource { type = kResourceType_Gold; amount = 1000000; alwaysExhaustible = 1; maxNumOfWorkers = 6}
	]
}
for all the resourses, set them at one million

Oh, I thought it could be related to change:
- Fixed map generation of Pangea maps on Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy.

But that's Mediterranean, so not touched at all.
