Smith/Napoleon/Caesar etc?

Okay, so when I play around with my descr_Strat file I notice that every faction has a sort of enigmatic characteristic next to it-- napoleon, henry, smith, caesar, etc. What does it all mean? What's it do?

[Colovion]

it's supposed to make the AI perform in different ways

they all perform like idiots

don't even pay attention to those words, they're fantasy

[therother]

There is some info here.

Colovion now you are just being a nag.
Yes the AI is lousy, but to go into complainmode every time somebody mentions something is not a positive nor a very productive way to do stuff.
The personalities actually do work. Since I changed Seleucia from Stalin to Ceasar they actually hold their enemies back quite formidably. And interestingly enough they often form alliances with Egypt. I have never seen them expand but this time they do.
Sadly Carthage stays lousy against aggressive enemies eventhough I changed them from Henry to Napoleon.

Hi Colovion

If you change the file to napoleon, it gives more spectators for the general's suicide charge!

And more little weasels to chase down when they run away

These are just the AI factions troop recruitment routines. Unlike what Colovion said (but he's just being a whiny idiot) they do work. They dictate what kind and in what ratio the faction is going to recruit troops. Read therother's guide to get the ins and outs of it.

lars, deep 6 the insults, OK?

[Colovion]

Sorry, I just call em as I see em.

and I was drunk, sorry; my anger gets the better of me when intoxicated

It's too bad insults are what are fostered through truthful interpretations of a flawed product. If you don't enjoy reading my posts, you're welcome to abdicate your eyes from them.

Good day.

That might be true if your comments had been on the mark. They weren't, the recruitment routines work perfectly.

[Colovion]

simply recruitment isn't the entire aspect of the campaign AI, it transcends to what they do with those units

"perfectly" bah... they have an effect, for sure. but "perfectly"?!
