Is there any way to make the AI more agressive?

Editing the AI to "balanced genghis" makes them much more aggressive. It's unhistorical, but its fun, so choose yourself. Just edit your descr_strat.txt

Now thats pretty funny, hear all this time i thought Genghis Khan was pretty blood thirsty and wanted to conquer the world, and not so balanced. Btw were do you edit the AI at, in the text preferences?

The "Balanced" and the "Genghis" are two seperate characteristics for faction behaviour I believe. The first refers to what kind of unit production they incorporate and the Genghis is they're aggressiveness, so you aren't mistaken BigTex.

There was a CA post somewhere that said the first influenced what buildings the faction would construct and the second what troops it would build. I f the post was correct I think genghis meant the faction would build more cavalry.

I dont know about that, but my own modded campaigns (mainly in other mods) made the AI with genghis much more aggressive, e.g. in RTR 6 Gold, Parthia invaded the Seleucids in every campaign, Rome attacked Greece and Gaul...well, it worked. I doubt that Rome created more cavalry units with balanced genghis.

You edit it in the file descr_strat.txt (search for it). There, you find lines like

faction sassanids, balanced napoleon
denari 7000

(this is an example from BI, I have no Vanilla or EB available atm. But it works the same way)

Change it into

faction sassanids, balanced genghis
denari 7000

And thats it. The "balanced" is not necessarily the best, but I havent found a better one. Others I saw in my campaigns were "fortified", "trader", "bureaucrat", "sailor" etc.
