NEW EB Campaign testing AI !!!

**Antigonos Karchedonios** · 08-29-2014, 14:03

It's really a big improvement. I started a new campaign with Pergamon on Hard campaign difficulty and the Ai is really more aggressive. While i was in the North conquering Nicomedia suddenly an army of the ptolemaioi was at my front door besieging my only city! Luckily they turnd away next turn (or maybe they deserted/ were bribed by the Seleucids, not sure) but only a few turns later a scond one came knocking and conquered Pergamon while my army was still stationed in Nicomedia. I had to rush all South and fight a few close battles before I could retake my capital. It really improves! Good job and once more thank you!!! :

@Antigonos Karchedonios ..were you being aggressive and expansional??

I first battled the rebel armies that are around Pergamon at the start (this makes 2 battles) and then I directly marched north to take Nicomedia. And as soon as Nicomedia was mine, the Ptolemaic army stood at my front door and came climbing the walls only 1 turn later. :-/

I played soome more in the meantime and was able to wrestle away the Ptolemaic towns in Asia minor, not too much resistance here actually. Now I'm at peace again with everybody. Only bordering Seleucids atm and they are my allies from turn 1 (I was afraid of them ;) )

EDIT: Once I reach turn 100 I will post AI progress in the faction progress thread.

I'm having a bit of trouble.

I have a steam version. I've extracted the two files into the EBII/Data file and then just tried to delete the map file from stage three. When I try to find the path after EBII\data\world there is only a map file after that.

I can still start the game even though I have not deleted it but the campaign ai seems the same. I started a new Rome campaign and only kept one unit in each city apart from rome itself and after 30 turns no one attacked me.

Can anyone help or am I just dim?

You really should have this path on your system: mods/EBII/data/world/maps/base. If you don't, I cannot see how your game would work at all. The map.rwm file lies in this folder.

Well it confuses the hell out of me. Maybe it is somewhere else and I am just being computer illiterate. Thanks for the quick help.

It may be tucked away in a Virtual Store, causing the confusion. If you install M2TW and EB2 outside of Program Files, it will not use that.

I'm sorry if I'm being stupid and its something else but after I installed it its started to crash on the AI's turns

I found it having a look this morning. Just couldn't find it last night.

It's really difficult trying to fit this around real life. When EB1 came out I could spend whole weekend playing now I'm lucky if I can get 4 hours a week.
