AI Expansion

[Macilrille]

While in home confinement/isolation I pondered my campaigns a bit. Those that have gone longest the past year before I got fed up with constant CTDs are; Roman, Sweboz, Roman.
In them all I have noted a tendency for most factions to expand North and overland. Anyone else seen this?

The most extreme was the Romans when I was sweboz, who allied with the Aedui, attacked me in mid-Germany after 50 years of game time but never even got to Sicily... in the same game KH made it to the Baltic in modern Estonia- Skt Petersburg area, but never expanded into Micraasia...

Yeah, try the Victory Conditions minimod, they tend to go for their victory conditions settlements more and not expand to the tundra

Someone (I think it was MAA) said a while ago, that the factions have a tendency to expand Northwards, and then spiral around.

[Skullheadhq]

Making perfect circles in the process, great..

[Macilrille]

Never noticed the spiral. Only the N expansion. Thanks I might try the Victory Conditions minimod, though I need to clean up my harddisc soon before I install much more.

when i was makedonia i found that the romans expanded in my direction along the illyrian coast while when i was carthage they would expand down sicily towards me. i think the AI expands in your direction from my experience

The AI expands into the direction of the player. The main target for the AI is the human opponent. This is hardcoded feature of RTW.
