Fixing the AI money script (preliminary tests)

[The Errant]

OK. I got another PM from Eminos64. He once again came up with a new piece of code I'm adding to my script:

monitor_event SettlementTurnStart FactionType scythia
and not FactionIsLocal
and Treasury < -3000

console_command add_money pontus, 5000

It's supposed to stop the small/weak factions from plummeting into debt and get a positive treasury to help them expand. I've also done what Sheep has done and added to the number of years at the beginning of the game that the AI gets additonal financial help to expand and build infrastructure. Once again only the Steppe and Barbarian factions get this benefit. The Barbarians for double of the origianal value, and the Steppe factions for triple of the original value.

I am personally very interested in the results of Redmeth's infrastructure bonus. Please post screenies soon! Now I'll go back to being despot of the Casse for another 288 turns.

Further testing revealed that 2900 I think is the best sum for balance between strong enough and too strong Eleutheroi the problem is that the slave faction favors full-stacking cities in Central Europe first i see stopping the Sweboz and Gallic expansion.
And i changed these values

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType romans_julii
and not FactionIsLocal
and Treasury < 3000
and I_NumberOfSettlements romans_julii < 5 (from 4)
and I_TurnNumber < 40  (from 20)

console_command add_money romans_julii, 6000

end_monitor

the move from <4 to <5 is made to include the Sauromatae who are usually so weak that they fold when Parthia (those Grivpanhar also help) even tries to look at them.and 10 years iof "grace" period is better.
Maybe implementing this help when the treasury goes below 0 will help but for a limited period and the "rough start" bonus already does because later when you could be fighting them this extra bonus for going into debt will just help them spawn more armies and we are trying to combat this also...
Pictures coming later, today or tomorrow.

Do you have a new file with these changes?

[Redmeth]

Dan_Grr, I already posted about 3 scripts and soon I'll release my "final" script because I'm really using a lot of time on this, so I'll post it tonight I think and then leave it be for a week or more so people can test it and post pics and impressions and after seeing how people who tested it do and say I might change it more.
And I'm also against differentiating between steppe, barbarian and civilized factions, because historically not all factions had the same potential and a "perfect balance" is not the objective but rather making sure they do something and are at least a challenge and the big factions do not get out of hand making the game too boring. The dev team said that the Sweboz and the Getai, or Sauromatae are not supposed to be big "players" on the scene for the first 20-30 years.
EDIT: reached 260 and it's going well the Eleutheroi have strongly garrisoned some but not all the provinces, the Sauromatae have made some moves the Sweboz and the Getai seem promising the next step would be after 252 when the stepped bonuses will kick in but I have a good feeling about this setup. The first 20 years of each game are generally for building and developing an economy. I will say again that it's normal for some to be poorer than others that was the reality, it would not be normal for all factions to be equally challenging, equally rich and for all to hold relatively the same number of provinces. What they must NOT do is either stand doing nothing for more than 2 max 3 decades or become huge beasts that churn out without ever stopping to catch a breath great numbers of troops just to throw at you.
Here is the latest version and hopefully I won't update every day, please try it and tell me how good it is . Just joking you can say whatever as long as you use it and thus help me test it.

Basically it's just another approach on the infrastructure bonus. It's supposed to help those faction that tend to get steamrolled by their larger and more powerful neighbors. The Carthies, Ptolies, Romans, AS and others can after some basic improvements to their infrastructure turn some hefty profits. With port development and mining centers, fielding large elite stacks isn't much of a problem.

The Steppe factions on the other hand have the hardest economy in the game. Even fully developed their infrastructure sucks! To get decent infrastructure they have to conquer develped settlements. Their better troops aren't cheap either.
The Barbarian factions lack advanced roads, high level markets, mining centers and highly advanced ports. This piece of script is supposed to help them overcome that.
If it dosen't work, I'll just add a time conditional to the script. It's not like this script is the "final" version. It will get revised and re-revised lots of times before it's finished I think.

Btw. I'll up the Eleutheroi settlement bonus to 2900 as you suggested to see if it has any impact on their development. Eminos64 was exploring reagional conditionals a while back. If it checks out we might be able to limit the fully stacked Eleutheroi cities with über generals hampering faction progression.

[Wolfshart]

I did notice people were saying that 230 is the usual time that most factions explode due to the Rebel generals dieing a peaceful death opening the route for factions to takeover those settlements. Since we are talking about the script anyway...would there be a way for use to spawn generals in those rebel settlements? I know some people would be against it but for those of us that want to play for a long time this maybe an optional add on that could keep superpowers from forming to early. I don't even know if it is possible but for those of us that want to play historically it would be a great boon to give us a longer game before it gets totally ahistoric. I'm just throwing it out there as something else we maybe can look into to force the hand of the AI to play histoically.

[Dan_Grr]

I've made a clean RTW, BI and EB installation. I've installed the Watchman's mod and MAA's city mod. Now Im going to try yours out, I assume there isn't going to be any conflict because neither Watchman and MAA messes with the EBBS_SCRIPT.txt... I think.

[Ower]

The Errant, I just copied your, script from post 111 and want to ask something: monitor_event SettlementTurnStart FactionType pontus
and not FactionIsLocal
and I_NumberOfSettlements parthia < 13
and I_NumberOfSettlements parthia > 6

console_command add_money parthia, 1500
end_monitor

Is it suposed to by like this or is it an error? the same for Armenia, Spaine and every one who has when in red, (stated pontus), roman_brutii (have spain where parthia is abow), egypt (has numidia at that place). The factions are the internal ones.

Oops! Major fuckup on my part. Fixed the typing errors in the code and it should be working now. Atleast the latest code a couple posts up. Looks like I'm going to have to start all ower again with Casse to test it though. Damn!

[Ower]

No problem, something like that can hapen ju just copie it and forgot to chang somewehre, just a mather of thinkong and reading of what you change, not just copiing, from others. And besides i made some modifications as well, just wanted to know if its a error or what, i changet it in a copie file, and left your so, till I would get an ansewr

[Dan_Grr]

Eh, just a small correction, it's not Spain, it's Lusotanna.

[Redmeth]

I'm posting pictures from my ongoing tests using the Casse and my latest script version that can be found here:

As you can see by 250BC all the factions even the Sauromatae and Saka are moving the Getai are going strong but the Eleutheroi towns are pretty well defended so the AI expansion is not that fast, I'm satisfied with how things are progressing and will post more screenshots in this same post as the game continues. In 252 BC the stepped bonus kicked in and I believe the Seleucids will lose a few provinces in the next decade.
EDIT: Reached 240, still have doubts about the Eleutheroi, they seem a bit strong in Britain i fought 2/3 a stack of cwmyr and a couple of stacks of mixed armies and in one conquered city i saw an extensive small trade port upgrade so they have a lot of money, on the other hand the strong rebels are ok for a slow and more realistic expansion, but further testing will need to be done, I am content with the rest though, maybe 2800 or even 2700 a turn for the rebels would be better but I'll test this further first.
I'm really undecided about the Eleutheroi bonus so I'm asking the people who are testing my script for their opinion should I go lower with the bonus? And if any members of the EB team are reading this is there any general consensus regarding the bonus for the Eleutheroi, or if they should be strong or less strong in order for the factions to expand a bit faster?
EDIT2:220 now and I think another step should be added as the Selucids are nearing 40 provinces I think and just ">25" is not enough to convey their empire so let me see what I can tweak the rest is pretty good and the faction expansion is great.

You know i got banned from these forums (not the EB part, the M2TW ones) by a mod for saying an 'offensive' word much weaker than fuck, and demoted to a junior member, so now i can only post once every 22763732674326746 seconds...
