    Default Are do-nothing factions normal for EB?

    I'm using BI.exe (should be better) and Germany hasn't exanded a single city. It's 235 BCE and they only have a single city. I've given them 300,000+ money through the command line but all they've done is create crap loads of merc armies that stay within their own territory.

    Is this normal or is this a BI.exe problem?

    I'm on Medium Battle, Very Hard Campaign, with the BI.exe program.

    I've given Germany around 400,000 so money shouldn't be a problem.

    Is this a glitch with the BI.exe campaign AI?

    That's actually how we plan all the factions - to not do anything. Good to hear it's working! Might be the first thing we've done right!

    In my campaign, I have not met Sweboz yet, but Getai is completely passive... They have full stack near their starting city, but did not move it yet, I am watching them for very long time...

    The Sweboz in my game are going apeshit all over the steppes...no western or southern expansion, just pure eastern havoc. They did it by boat, too, because I asked them for a map, and they "skipped" a few provinces between their main place and where they've conquered, and the provinces they passed over are undiscovered (are still grey on the map).

    In my Makedonian Campaign (atm 213 bc) the Sweboz are expanding pretty well, they are at war with every other faction which sorrounds them (except Karthadstim and the sauromate, with the first they have formed an alliance agains the gauls and the Romans (who are losing, Karthadstim fullstacks are conquering Italia from the south and 2 Sweboz stacks are attacking from the north).

    the Getai have done nothing until i have conquered them after 50 years of peacefull coexistence.
    The Lusotannan have, too done nothing until Karthadstim begun to conquer them and the provinces sorounding them, but they seem to survive, at least for a while.

    Its hit-and-miss, sometimes a faction will expand other times it won't. But would you really want a game where the factions did the exact same thing all the time. If the sweboz don't advance, then the gauls have more chance of success and may thus prove a tougher battle when you reach them. Basically, we have them expanding almost how we would like it. Remember not everyone is supposed to build an empire.
