Sth wrong with the Hay victory conditions?

[vartan]

Some people have said that the AI factions go north first becasue that is where the original Latium province is (Gotland). In RTW original game the goal for every faction was to take latium. I wonder if relocating Latium would have an effect? Maybe put it as Byzantion or some other centrally located province.

Furthermore, with the Hai they have war with a neighbour who is poorer than them and allied withg a superpower. Its an easy choice. Having said that though, in every one of my most recent games after I increased default movement points the Hai have united the caucasus region as well as kabalaka. And only one of those games have they gone north, admittedly with a vengence. Maybe the AS just get there before they do? try modding around some files a bit.

This.

The team may have wanted to prevent a dog-pile on the SPQR. Vanilla R:TW is basically set up as Rome vs. the World; but Rome is a coalition of three strong factions, with a fourth holding Latium. In EB, Rome is far weaker.

That said, don't overrate the importance of this mechanism. It just means that the A.I. expands north if there are no pressing reasons to go elsewhere. A friendly relation with the northern neighbour will override this, as do ongoing wars, and the urge to attack the player's faction.

And this.

AI, Initial diplomatic state of war, et al.

salamis would have been a better choice imho it´s in the midle of the map and since it´s an island the ai won´t take it easily either (ofc the ptolomaic might run into problems with having too many enemies attacking and blockading their harbors)

Honesetly if some one tells me how to change Latium Province Il make a modfolder just to correct AI behaviour for Specific important regions

IIRC the Latium province is there to prevent the vanilla victory conditions from occuring, I'm not exactly sure what the consequence of that would be though.
