I'm currently working on a small mod. Some new units, heroes and buildings... nothing special.
My problem is, that the AI doesn't build all of my buildings. He's building all possible stuff, except 2 or 3. But these buildings are necessary for further upgrades. Even if all possible stuff is built, he won't build them.
Any ideas?

I'm not really familiar with how the AI prioritizes it's budget, I've never messed around with the building preferences/combos columns. What type of buildings are they (*_PRODUCER, *_INCOME, etc.)?
sorry for being that late, i had much to work
my buildings are flagged as CATEDRAL_INCOME.
However, changing to troop_producer, non_producer or anything else... the ai will not build them
Check 10th column in build_prod file titled "AI characters building production preferences". The 11th column "AI building influences for building combos" is useful too.
column 10:
i used the data from castle, spearmaker and farmland... no difference on first sight.
do higher numbers mean, that the ai is more likely to build this structure?
column 11:
i don't have any entries on my buildings. should i link my builings to the ones that are already built?
Yes. Instead of copying whole section try to change the numbers to some extreme values. I don't know if there is any limit but you can find numbers between 0 and 700. Of course there are several different AI types for each building's level but for the test change all of them just to see if it works.Quote:
