    Default Scripting questions

    Disliking the 4 turns x year above all, I didn't activate the EB script.
    Does anyone knows what I'm really going to loose?
    I mean, wich are the part of the game affected by the scripting?
    And one more question.
    Is it possible to activate the script maintaining the 2 turns x year?.
    Thanks everybody!

    Everything.
    Everything.
    Yes, by deleting the section of EBBS_Script.txt that concerns the 4tpy.

    The biggest loses are 1 through 4 on that list.

    1 Reforms are an essential part of factions like the Romans. Without the script you will be stuck with you starting units only.

    2 The AI needs to have the script activated or it will not get governments placed. Without governments it will take a while to build one on their own. And when they do build a government, it probably won't be right for the region and their recruitment will be screwed up. Without this script the game is pretty broken.

    3 The AI will deplete their cities of people pretty fast. (Though without the money script it may not be a problem.)

    4 The money script gives money to the AI because the game has been balanced to be difficult for the player. The AI can't handle this. Most likely the majority of AI factions will go into debt and stagnate until you roll over them. Without this script the game is easy-as/easier-than vanilla.

    That's not enough, the traits will be all messed up if he does that.

    I too strongly dislike 4tpy. I believe it severely unbalances AI behavior and results in the Black Death and Grey Death and the endless AI superstacks (even with the money/merc mods), that we are all familiar with

    How exactly can you attribute an inbalance in AI behaviour to the fact that there are 4 seasons?

    I'm also a fan of 4tpy, and I can see at least two things that make it great - family members live "longer" and you don't end up fighting half of the battles in winter!
