EB = a more docile AI?

**PseRamesses** · 02-06-2006, 15:17

Is it just me, my playstyle, or does the AI in EB seem drastically more docile and not so hellbent on war? I´ve played numerous campaigns with most of the factions and I´ve been attacked a couple of times and betrayed only once!? Maybee it´s the economics of EB that incorporates this behaviour? Has anyone similar experiences?

What campaign difficulty setting are you playing on? EB's recommendation is "Very Hard" to experience the aggressive AI behaviour, especially with the rebels (Eleutheroi) besieging your settlements and all...

I play on VH/VH and I can agree on the same thing.
The AI is alot more calmer and not so aggresive.
I don't mind, it is nice to have peace for a while.

I play on VH and tha AI is very aggressive towards me.
What is strange is that some factions aren't aggressive at all beetween them, currently Aedui, Getai,Epirus and Makedon are at peace with everybody, they have huge armies and keep them wandering in their lands...This lasts from about 20 turns...

It's a little more realistic too though - but having much more dangerous eleutheroi cities is one big reason why expansion doesn't happen as quickly. And there is something in the works that hopefully will slow it down a little more in specific areas too.

I've found the AI not at all hostile in my game attempts. And personally I like that alot - of course im not ashamed to admit i only play on Medium. Personaly I always found it completely unrealistic when EVERYONE would just betray any alience, sometimes within years of signing it.

Hi m8, nice to see you on this side on the fence ;) I´m playing on medium stratmap and on very hard on the battlefield. I´m use with this setup since the vanilla and extensive RTR playing. It just seemed to be the best (realistic) setting at the time. So you guys think I should change to VH/VH?

On the other hand the AI DO declare war on me with theese settings it´s just seems to me that the AI is not that hysterical on VH/M. It´s really enjoyable... for once.

Yeah, I have played on medium as Pontos in the past in EB and just found almost every single faction unwilling to make peace (and same thing when I played as Hayasdan). Once the Seleukids broke their treaties with me, I never could get them or anyone else near me to ally or even be peaceful with me. I had to constantly fight the Seleukids and the other nearby factions. But I could occasionlly get a smaller faction more distant to ally if I was lucky. So this just is to say that sometimes it works both ways.

On the other hand, I have never ever seen bactria or parthia go to war with the seleucids (or each other, really). Bactria just scoop up the provinces that rebel from the seleucids, and eventually go after the Yuezhi and India. The germans are far enough away from everyone and with enough rebels that they hardly ever seem to need to attack any other faction.
