Target, can ya help with the anti_units, building_choice and unit_choi

[DoCToR]

Hello guys, i was just wondering whether it would be at all possible to find out more information on a couple of txt files in the STW directory?

Basically what i want to know is more about the antiunits.txt file, the building_choice.txt file and the unit_choice.txt file.

Now i know Target told us what the anti_units file did, but i was wondering if someone could clear up how the actual file is laid out and what the numbers actually represent? I think he mentioned something about %, but % of what and which unit refers to which number?

The unit_choice file is fairly self explanatory and all i really want to know is what the numbers represent? It's obvious that the higher the number the more likely that AI personality will build that unit. However, what would happen if all these were raised, say by 20 for example? Would that mean a general increase the amount of money the AI spends on units?

Finally the building_choice file is the most complicated? It has 54 entries and there are only 51 buildings?! The numbers are similar to thos in the unit_choice file, but it is more tricky to know which number refers to which building? I'm assuming that these numbers also include the upgrades for each type too...

I'm dying to know, especially as my modding plans are now in full flow...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Doc

Hey Doc.

I'll have to get back to you on the files, 'cos I don't have the exact answers to hand at the moment and I'd hate to feed you false info purely for a speedy reply. If you can wait until next week, I'll post a reply in the Mods/Patches forum.

Target.

Hey Cham.

No hyping to do at the moment - Medieval is still too far away to start making announcements. We've learned our lesson, and we're not saying for definate what will and will not be in the game. Everything is still subject to change.

Anyway, you seem to be doing a fair amount of hyping yourself in the Medieval forum, Cham http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

Ahh Target, looking forward to your response....

Many thanks!

With the unit_choice text file I'm wondering if i can get the AI to purchase more units that it currently does you see...

Also, am interested to see if increasing the numbers in building_choice text file will make the AI tech-up more quickly...

Also, with the anti_units txt file is it possible for the line of numbers for each unit type to total greater than 100 %?

For instance, being attacked by lsam (1st line), if all these numbers were doubled would that make a difference or would going over 100% make it pointless...??

Apologies about hassling you Target and increasing yer workload, but could ya also clarify the difference between the opp_invasion_threshold and major_invasion_threshold txt files?

I have been told that they are to do with how likely an AI daimyo will attack you for each of the AI personalities.

Opp mean opportunistic?

Cheers again,
DOC

Opp I imagine would indicate a spontaneous strike if the opportunity arose, for instance if you leave a border province unguarded.

A Major invasion I would imagine is a planned thing that is more dependent on larger strategic issues, like overall relative strength of the target clan etc.

At least that's what I'd always thought.

Sorry for the delay, guys - I haven't forgotten, it's just that things are a little hectic for me at the moment.

I'll put a full post up in the Editing/Mods forum tomorrow, if you can wait that long. I was going to do it tonight, but it looks like there's a fair amount of typing to do and I'm just too knackered to do it right now.

Many apologies again.
