Those pesky Danes...

[Zarax]

Ok, i'm modding the game so that the Danes does something useful other than sit and wait to be slaughtered...
Here's how they fares midgame (early) for now...



Do you have any suggestions about how to spice up the AI?

The pic does not show up. Probably broken link.

Sorry, it will be up as soon as remote linking will be up again in my server.

Basically the Danes were controlling Denmark, Sweden and Northumbria...
The problem is that they still did not build anything noteworthy...
Yes, they raid here and there but in the end got eaten up by [insert superpower here] with little effort...
What i'm thinking about now is to give them either Sweden or some other advantage in order to kickstart the AI somehow, the problem is that this way any human player would have a quite big advantage...
Maybe i might balance it by pumping up some other weak faction but i would avoid ending up with everything buffed up and the starting situation unchanged...

Make their Royal Unit Huscarles. They uber up pretty nicely with just that upgrade. A few times when doing that I have seen them rampage down to Spain and Hungary !!!

[Zarax]

Hmm, might try that too...
Maybe i'll give them huskarles on early and then go up to VG in high and late...
BTW, if you wanna give a try at my work you'll find it here: http://www.microsoftusernetwork.com/hosted/zxmod.zip

Damn, if i set VG to high but keep it as royal unit the huskarles doesn't show as royals...
