AI game

[Gazius]

I looked around, but I didn't see anything helpful. How do I run an AI game? Can I save it and load it back up later?

You can reload an autosave of it, but you can't start playing as one of the factions from anything I've seen. *That* would be pretty damn cool if you could. If anyone figured that out they'd be praised quite a lot on all these fora too I think. But whenever you load one of those saves in a regular build, it just keeps on like it was an -ai game anyway.

That would be cool, but, my main question was, how do I start one? Do I just start a game, type -ai into the console, or...what? do I add -ai to the shortcut?

[Teleklos Archelaou]

yeah, make a new shortcut with your same eb properties, except where you see those other -nm, -ne entries in your target line, add -ai too and it will run it. The problem is though that the scripts don't run that way, so the campaign script won't cause it to use 4 turns a year, or do a lot of other stuff.
