I thought the victory conditions are hard-coded? How are you changing them?

They are hard-coded so we are not changing them. We are ignoring them and we are making ouer own victory conditions instead.

[RedXIII]

Wow, how are you "ignoring" them and making your own?

[LorDBulA]

Haha i wont go into details, but i will say this, all you need to know to do this is avaible for everyone at totalwar.org in RTW modification section.

[RedXIII]

I can't seem to find it anywhere, could you point me in the right direction please?

Thanks.

[LorDBulA]

I dont say that there is a thread that says scpecificly how to do it, i only say that all knowlage is there. Exactly how we do it will remain secret untill open beta, unless someone will figure out how to do it and post it.

If so , you can change the diplomacy system to become more realistic and with more options ?

[RedXIII]

Now that I really doubt, you would need the code to change the diplo system.

I have been trying to figure it out and the only possible thing i can think of is that you made a script, is that correct?

Question: have things been done to help the AI? Will it be more competant than vanilla RTW in any way?

Well, i had an idea that you could remove the Easy and Medium difficulties and only have hard and Very hard but no-body will listen to me....

every once in a while i hear that the difficulty levels are bugged. is that true or a scandalous and defamatory lie with malicious intent?

[Steppe Merc]

I've heard the same thing, at least in battle AI. I think it may just screw with the stats, rather than intelligence.
But don't listen to me, I can never rember this stuff...

[Moros]

well the battle speed and killing speed is slightly higer, and the AI morale is boosted. not sure about their attack and defence stats but I tink they were boosted too.

Question: have things been done to help the AI? Will it be more competant than vanilla RTW in any way?

There is little that can be done about the A.I. because most of it is hard-coded. However, slowing the battles down does improve A.I. performance, and I think EB has already confirmed that they would be doing this. They may also make other changes to make the A.I.'s live easier.

There seems to have been made a mistake with the 1.2 patch that caused the combat bonusses given to the A.I. at very hard-difficulty (+7 attack, +4 defence I think it was) also to be applied to the human player. The result is that the battles go from fast to very fast, but the AI troops are not superior to yours as they are at hard difficulty.

Edit: it seems this bug is not as straightforward as I described. You can find details about it in this thread: Research: Battle Difficulty.

[jerby]

is charge-bonus bugged?
