Better AI movement

**applebreath** · 11-04-2009, 23:21

I've seen the AI do things, especially if you give it time.. BUT it does become very hard for the AI when it has to use ships to do those "things" and it just depends. Even in vanilla RTW, I've seen "casse" take over 20 territories..

What mod are you playing? Or is it that you did the minimum to enable alex.exe play?

im using EB with alex, its better AI battles but where ships are used its basic movements not long voyges or movements that are based on good strategy, is their no other mods besides BI and alex that work better or rival them?

It could be that the AI is not able to use ships because of strong pirate fleets, espacially at the beginning of a campaign. I ususally notice some strong pirate boats but almost no faction fleets. In most campaigns it is also hard for me to ship my troops to other coasts, the pirate ships are hunting my poor boats after leaving the ports.
Take are look on the map, there are usually very few faction fleets.

I don't know how he got there and when, but it's funny.

I also like the one isolated Hayasdan province.

Ahh now I see, it's sad that the FM is unable to take the settlement.

If u look carefully, the carthies often ship troops to and from Iberia. It's all done in a single turn tho, so it's hard to spot unless there's a specific FM tagging along. The opposite happens when The Luso (a lot rarer) takes Mastia/Tolosa. They try to grab Carthie island holdings, then (futile attempts at) africa. Similar things happen to the Epiros(Pyrrhos goes back for another go), KH (island hopping) and Ptolemaios (Cyprus).

Yeps, in my campaigns the Greeks especially invade. Though the army in Crete never does anything (what on earth is it doing there in the first place? In my Sweboz campaign I teleported it to Sparta to help defend against a Mac onslaught). But the AS did some sailing in my Roman one, especially in the Persian Gulf, sometimes against Saba, sometimes just for fun cruises it seems as they do nothing with the transported army.

I use 1.1 with RTW Exe.

But, though I see some little naval action, I would love to see more.

@ Apázlinemjó

I noticed your screenshot. What graphics/textures are you using? What mod/s? It has a nice glossy look to it. I'm more referring to the bottom of the screenshot. The one that shows the buttons, army display, tabs, etc. Mine looks like the following, https://img294.imageshack.us/i/ebitalyfj9.jpg/.

I like the textures/navy mini mods that I'm using, but it doesn't have as nice of a look to the bottom buttons/display as yours does. Is that what regular EB1.2 looks like?
