AI Suggestion: Shorter Wars

[theoldbelgian]

Yeah, the economy is one of the major problems of any empire.
The romans, the spanish, the french, and so on.
The unending wars in the borders were a bleeding of men and gold.
The spanish lost our empire in the Nederlands' revolt (two hundred years before we lost America, but we were doomed since the death of the great Duke of Alba).

I hope the economy will be a problem for the major empires in EB2. Now, only the barbarian factions have some troubles with money, but only if you try to build (cities and armies) without a stop.

ahem really nothing against spanish people but would you please not call the blood baron great
he wasn't quite the humanitarian in our provinces and we were the nice katholic south
I mean parents used to bring him up as a boogey man, that if they dind't listent the duke of alba would come and get them

He came to The Netherlands to handle a bunch of rebels and traitors to the Spanish crown. It may seem bloody and excessive now but i don't think he did antything that was different from 16th century practice.

And now back to those happy times B.C. ;)

how about each faction has its own set of AI "rules" to follow. IE, Romani and Pahlava will have the "expansionist-freakzorz" AI, where it is belligerent and expansionist. Carthage would have a "make money" AI, etc
