A question about AI personalities changing....?

[+DOC+]

Hi folks,

I know this has been a fairly common topic of late and been beaten about the boards without really being wholely answered by the people in the know. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

So, is it possible for AI factions to completely change their starting personalities from those initially described in the campaign startpos files?

I'm not talking about the Desperate_defence, Close_to_support_limit and Poverty_stricken personalities as it is fairly obvious that these can be changed to when the situation arises in-game. However, what i am talking about is major changes from say Cathloic_expansionist to Catholic_naval_expansionist or Catholic_trader for example??

Or if you were the Byzantines, from Orthodox_stagnant to Orthodox_expansionist for example??

It would really help us modders if we could understand this situation better.

Thanks in advance

The only person who can really answer that is EatColdSteel, who's on a six-week holiday at the moment. (We don't take many holidays, but - or rather 'and so' - when we do take one, it's serious.) I'll motivate him to answer this when he gets back.
