Suggestions for further releases

[Davor]

I play EB for quite a while now, although very occasionally because of lack of time, and although this mod is awesome in most aspects (and far better than the original game), it’s very bad concerning this issue discussed here.

I see (saw?) EB as a realism mod, and I think most people will agree here. But the question is where to draw a line between extreme realism and enjoyable play. And currently, imo, the line is drawn much too far to one extreme (= enjoyable play) that is for me sometimes becoming rather frustrating.

So the main problem is money…

I think the ‘Section 4a: Difficult Start Help’ in the EB script should be removed, or at least adjusted, and ‘Section 4b: City Income Bonus’ should be definitely removed. Being attacked by insane armies has nothing to do with realism nor historical accuracy. And succeeding in making an empire your protectorate, and by that in the first turn receiving insane amounts of money, can only disrupt your game.

So… what about players who complain the game is too easy. Yes, the AI is a bad strategos. So, the solution is (and hopefully was) to give it insane amounts of money (2k/city), so it can pose a challenge at great expense of realism (for example, killing ratios of 1/20 and above). Another solution seems to be that the EB-folks suggest to play the campaign on very hard. Those two combined and what you get is not 1 heroic victory, but 4-5 in a row (and noo…, AI doesn’t get scared, in a few turns he is back again looking for more , and noo..., you are not that good strategos either ). Also, they suggest to play battles on medium because some people obviously complain about their elites being wrecked by levies. (but that’s at least one good EB policy imo ). What I propose on the other hand is to scrap the money help, play the game on M/M, and stimulate people to play the battles from the generals viewpoint (it's one of the 3 camera modes). This will make the game much more difficult, the AI won’t seem to be very stupid anymore (at most stupid), and you will not be continuously attacked by the AI (their stance against you is aggressive on H/VH, no matter the diplomacy?).

Another improvement imo (but much more difficult to execute I suppose), would be to extend the recruitment times in cities for al units (2x or 3x). This will thwart the current reality that empires, after losing a battle, can very quickly and without making great money sacrifices, can easily build a new army from many of theirs cities/mercenaries and attack you again (this fact and money abundance = endless battle). To compensate for my proposed “direct unit scarcity”, one could use very expensive (recruitment and salary) mercenary units. So, using these mercenaries would be good in short term (for defense), but not cost-effective in the long term (campaigning). (I don’t know if its possible to ‘trigger’ any code when someone disbands a unit into a province, so to make the unit instantly available for next turn) I think that after this is implemented, the huge attacking mercenary armies will be undone, and the battle-loss recovery would be more realistic.

And, at last, concerning the “house rules”… I don’t see it as a solution. If everything goes right, then playing by your self-imposed house rules is fun, but when things turn ugly, and knowing that your opponent is cheating (i.e. not respecting your house rules), makes you easily elude your rules. So, in this sense, rules become futile, and whats a futile rule worth? (imagine the possibility to recruit Spartans everywhere, but imposing a rule to yourself to recruit them only in Sparta, or think about the moral of the story of Gyges and his ring). So the way I see the house rules is a way of lying to yourself. That’s why some things should be ‘ruled’ by the game engine itself.

I hope no-one reads this as a “must do”... it’s merely a suggestion, although I am willing to defend it. I would rather have you read it as “a merely possible way to evolve, or whatever.” In the end, everyone can adjust the script to suit their own needs.

EDIT: Some people seem to misread "general's view" so I made it clear that it is referring to one of the 3 camera modes.

[Spoofa]

Using the money script, and mercenary mod helps alot...

[Thaatu]

House rules are basically "how you want to play a game". I don't see that as lying to oneself.

You're right about the game economics being unrealistic and more sided on gameplay, but I understand that it's futile and timeconsuming to balance the economics for every version separately, because every version changes the economic situation. That's why finances will probably be balanced only for the last EB build (pure speculation). Money script and mercenary mod helps more than one might expect.

[bovi]

Thaatu is a good speculator, should do stock trading . Some small balancing has been done for the next version, but it is nowhere near a finished project. You will probably enjoy fanmade balancing in the next version too. I should probably mention that Redmeth, one of the more active people doing the unofficial balancing mods, has joined the team.

As for house rules, they are purely limitations you put on yourself. If you feel like lifting the restriction temporarily, or even magically create money by cheating, why shouldn't you? The point is to have fun with the game, however you choose to do so.

Davor, EB is designed to be a challenge, as we all feel vanilla was too easy even on VH/VH. But depending on faction it may turn out to be a bit much on hard battle difficulty, or a bit too little on medium. Your suggestion would mean that this challenge would disappear entirely, so we won't do that, but feel free to do so for yourself (it's fairly easy). Choose the balancing that fits you .

I agree; to play it on M/M would indeed make the game very easy. But that’s not what I wanted. You misread my suggestion… so I’ll be more specific. My suggestion to compensate for M/M was (see the 'italicized words' in the original post) to play the game from general’s viewpoint (it’s one of the 3 camera preferences you can choose from). This view increases the difficulty in battles significantly for the player so as to compensate for the M/M setting.

So difficulty(VH/VH + RTS camera) ~ difficulty(M/M + general’s viewpoint camera). If you don’t agree on this, then yes, my solution is no solution at all.

Redmeth, you traitor. Congratulations, but don't get lazy now.

I have read somewhere that help is needed in balancing the economy. What's your goal in terms of economy balancing? What do you want to achieve? The definition of "challenge" is not an easy one. Some would say that fighting stack after stack is challenging...

Davor - I'm always playing on the General Camera and it's not as hard as someone would expect - you get used to it very quickly. And after the General Cam, playing on the RTS-like cameras is a joke, so it's like an addiction :) .

[LusitanianWolf]

Hum, I actualy play in vh/m + general's viewpoint in many battles with some factions (sweboz, romani, etc) and its not that hard, and much more fun.

[Davor]

I have read somewhere that help is needed in balancing the economy. What's your goal in terms of economy balancing? What do you want to achieve?

I think that economy should be left the same and unchanged for everyone, AI and player. So: no donations, and as little balancing as possible, preferably none (except maybe for Elutheroi). Though I am not going to complain about small careful ‘donations’ for ‘balancing’, but current donations of 2000/city/turn are imo way over.

The definition of "challenge" is not an easy one. Some would say that fighting stack after stack is challenging...

Indeed. But fighting stack after stack you can also do in vanilla. All you need is give the AI money. EB, unlike vanilla, focuses more on realism. And fighting stack after stack is not real. General’s camera view can make battles more difficult, and so, it should be opted for. So, challenge(RTS camera + money donations) ~ challenge(general’s camera + default economy), and the latter is far more realistic.

Two things:
1) Generals CAM + HA based armies = .
2) AI - scripted assistance = broke.

[Cybvep]

Two things:

2) AI - scripted assistance = broke.

2) Yep
1) I played as Sauromatae for a few turns and gosh, it WAS easy. I used armies only with cavalry and "Hit-and-run" tactics worked perfectly. Attack, use all arrows, withdraw. Repeat. I raided/conquered some towns (it was the quickest conquest I have ever managed to achieve) and buffed up my economy, then I destroyed Hayasdan with one army and quit the game, as I realised that I want to fight with such powerful nation, not to fight as it. The only challenge was at the pure beginning (when I was broke for some turns) and against other cavalry-based armies. Oh, I was playing on the General Camera, even in sieges.

AI without any dotations would be doomed, believe me. It would have no chances of survival. Current script is just too excessive, but it shouldn't be abandoned. If you don't like its excessiveness, try one of the fanmade money scripts (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=87649). Personally, I use my own modified version of the mentioned script and I'm happy with it. I'm just curious what the EB team want to achieve - maybe fans can help.

I asked this once during the first round of fanmade modding of the money scripts. The team needed a script that would balance the AI factions incompetent economics. They elected to give them donations based on settlements held. Eventually the AI would recruit enough expensive units to balance off their free money. It worked up to a point, but the large factions became nearly unstoppable monsters with bottomless funds. Even with the brains a human player can't stand up against 8 elite stacks sent against you on a single turn. Not unless you have an empire half the size of the map.

So what the team really wanted was something that would help the AI balance it's economics. While still allowing the big factions to be big and powerful. And still give the small factions a fighting chance to survive and grow.

Unfortunately without adjustments to the vanilla EB money script, this leads to large factions like the AS steamrolling everyone. And often completely blunts smaller factions from expanding at all.

Eminos64 was the first one to come up with the idea of a stepped bonus for AI factions. That simple idea evolved from the modded money scripts into the AI Balancing mini-mod.

Redmeth is on the team. While he is busy doing other stuff. He is still actively involved with EB economics. Bovi did us all a huge favor with his Eleutheroi money assistance script. I'm sure they will keep improving the money script as much as they have time to.

If you have even the most basic knowledge of modding, and feel the script needs improving. Try it, test it and post it. All improvements to the money script and AI economics are warmly welcome IMHO.

[Cybvep]

Ok, I will post my version of the script, give a little explanation and some other ideas.

Basically, it's a combination of blitz-preventers, money-caps, debt-preventers and money-bursts, and there is much randomness. Money-bursts give the AI a chance to build both buildings and units, with mixed results and luck, as they don't have any additional constant source of income. They are given money from time to time, but larger amounts of it. As a result, you will encounter both elites and levies, see both developed cities and small towns, see bigger factions eating the smaller ones or vice versa. The rest (blitz-preventers, money-caps and debt-preventers) is there to make sure that it's very rare to see a single faction dying before at least 220 BC. The player is the one that is the most penalized (it's much harder to create a long-lasting, stable empire, and AI recieves more money at the beginning, so it's harder to blitz), but AI also finds producing infinite-stacks much harder (money-caps), while their chances of survival are still quite high (debt-preventers).

Yeah, it's crazy - I love "balanced randomness" ;). Anyway, I want to bring your attention to the idea of random money-bursts. I think that it has the potential.

Additional thing I recommend is reducing the income from mining. IMO the EB vanilla values are rather unbalancing. I propose these values:

building hinterland_mines
{
    levels mines mines+1
    {
        mines requires factions { barbarian, armenia, romans_brutii, egypt, romans_scipii, carthage, parthia, numidia, thrace, greek_cities, macedon, romans_julii, seleucid, saba, } and resource silver or resource gold
        {
            capability
            {
                mine_resource 32
            }
            construction  8
            cost  14000
            settlement_min town
            upgrades
            {
                mines+1
            }
        }
        mines+1 requires factions { romans_brutii, egypt, romans_scipii, carthage, parthia, numidia, thrace, greek_cities, macedon, romans_julii, seleucid, saba, } and resource silver or resource gold
        {
            capability
            {
                mine_resource 80
            }
            construction  20
            cost  32000
            settlement_min large_town
            upgrades
            {
            }
        }
    }
    plugins
    {
    }
}

Decreasing the population growth is also a good idea - there are various means to achieve this, but IMO the best thing you can do is to reduce the bonuses from buildings.

Another thing - AI priorities in descr_strat. I have them like this:

SPQR - balanced caesar (obvious)
Saka Rauka - bureaucrat genghis (they need to focus more on gaining income and creating the missile cavalry + some infantry support)
Arverni - trader napoleon (focus more on infantry-orientated armies with limited cavalry support)
Pahlava - balanced henry (obvious)
Ptolemaioi - religious napoleon (focus more on loyalty and infantry-orientated armies)
Arche Seleukideia - fortified smith (focus more on securing their empire and creating balanced armies ["stalin" sometimes makes them produce too much cheap infantry])
Karthadast - sailor napoleon (obvious)
Aedui - comfort napoleon (focus more on gaining income from various means + infantry-orientated armies with limited cavalry support)
Sweboz - religious napoleon (focus more on loyalty and more balanced armies ["mao" makes them mad])
Casse - trader napoleon (obvious, but remember - "mao" is not a good choice [too much light infantry spamming])
Koinon Hellenon - balanced caesar (more balanced approach to their empire and focus on creating more heavy infantry with limited cavalry support)
Makedonia - fortified smith (they are between the two devils [Epeiros and Koinon Hellenon], so they need to secure their empire more; balanced approach to their armies, in general they build more heavy infantry and cavalry)
Pontos - trader smith (obvious)
Hayasdan - craftsman henry (focus more on gaining income from mining and creating more cavalry [don't worry, they still produce much infantry])
Getai - craftsman caesar (focus more on gaining income from mining and creating more heavy infantry)
Sauromatae - bureaucrat genghis (same as Saka Rauka...)
Lusotana - craftsman napoleon (mining + more balanced infantry-orientated armies [with "mao" they produce too much cheap light infantry])
Epeiros - sailor caesar (obvious)
Baktria - trader smith (obvious)
Saba - comfort henry (farming, gaining income + more cavalry in their armies)

Here's the basic explanation of faction priorities:

These control a set of AI production personalities, which contribute a bias towards building and training (but not retraining or repairing). This bias is fairly small compared to game-generated factors such as "the enemy is attacking me with lots of cavalry, build me some spearmen". Explaining the weighting system which drives the production AI in full is beyond the scope of this document as it would take several days to write.

So in short, the building construction personalities are these: (ranked highest to lowest - therother)

balanced - biases towards growth, taxable income, trade level bonuses (roads), walls and xp bonus buildings

religious - biases towards growth, loyalty, taxable income, farming, walls and law

trader - biases towards growth, trade level, trade base, weapon upgrades, games, races and xp bonus buildings

comfort - biases towards growth, farming, games, races, xp bonus and happiness

bureaucrat - biases towards taxable income, growth, pop health, trade, walls, improved bodyguards and law

craftsman - biases towards walls, races, taxable income, weapon upgrades, xp bonuses, mines, health and growth

sailor - biases towards sea trade, taxable income, walls, growth, trade

fortified - biases towards walls, taxable income, growth, loyalty, defenses, bodyguards and law

These biases are towards building properties, rather than buildings themselves. The game does not know what a "Blacksmith" is, for example, it only knows that it is a building which provides a weapon upgrade, and hence a Craftsman AI would be more likely to build it than another AI personality type.

These are then combined with a troop production personality, as follows:

smith - exactly level

mao - biased towards mass troops, light infantry

genghis - biased towards missile cavalry and light cavalry

stalin - biased towards heavy infantry, mass troops and artillery

napoleon - biased towards a mix of light and heavy infantry, light cavalry

henry - biased towards heavy and light cavalry, missile infantry

Caesar - biased towards heavy infantry, light cavalry, siege artillery

The same system as for the buildings applies. Troop category and class are combined at the time the unit database is loaded to give a unit production type, and the likelihood of the AI choosing to produce a given unit type which can be produced is then modified by the unit type weighting. There is also a random element in the choosing of which building or troop type to produce next, so the effect of the bias is a statistical thing. Another factor that is applied over the top which may obscure the bias is a tendency towards producing troop mixtures (according to what is already in the garrison) and a weighting according to unit strength.

The two sets of types can be freely combined; for example, although Fortified Caesar does not appear in the list of options currently used by the vanilla RTW game, it is a valid combination.

Feel free to comment and ask questions - I will answer whenever I have some time ;).

Yeah, I considered that, but isn't it only a limit for commands in console (ingame)?

[Davor]

Ok, I will post my version of the script, give a little explanation and some other ideas.
Code...

hmm... you are penalizing and rewarding almost randomly… player and AI, and so with huge amounts of money… I don’t see the point. Your script is like a liberal (egalitarian) God. If you’re a believer… ok, but I am not.

Trying to find the best money script, imo, is a quest without end. That’s why I opted for just scrapping it and leaving the economics up to the engine. Maybe a better way to surpass the urge of playing a God is to just give special money bonuses for a few empire’s “native” cities that were historically held by that faction. For example, if Sparta, Corinth and Athens were native Greek cities, then these cities should give only to Greeks +1000 bonus (if they are held by Greeks).

And why is everyone so concerned about “helping the poor to get a chance against the mighty”... If they can’t stand up against the mighty, then they shall be overrun. That is and was history. Gods never interfered in economics to my knowledge. And those who couldn’t pay learned to talk, so why not, instead of giving the AI money, just give it a good diplomat to start with? And if AI can’t use him, too bad…

When is penalizing and rewarding at random either a liberal or an egalitarian policy?

If we had real people in the computer doing all the Ai's work (which I am reliably informed is impossible) then I would agree with you. As it is the Ai is crap at sorting out its economy. Without these assistances you will find that much of the rest of the world will never develop beyond the starting level as the Ai spends almost all its money on military and nothing else. You must remember that the economy system is harder in EB with costly units and buildings and no easy way of restarting your economy.

We won't be getting rid of money assistance for Ai factions, but I agree that we should look into ways of using it to balance the game further. The fans who led the way in that regard should be commended.

It was just a joke... but if you want an explanation, ok, but a short one because this is not a place for such discussions. He is penalizing the rich for their choice of trying and working to be rich (i.e. building up economy and diplomacy), and rewarding the poor for their choice of wanting to be poor (i.e. having huge armies). It’s almost random, as I stated, because no egalitarian liberal policy can make a perfect distinction between choices and circumstances (i.e. having bad luck of just being in a less resourceful part of the world or whatever), but not completely random of course.

Ha! Of course you applying the human condition of "free will" to a computer game, whose processes are all defined and determined. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer because that is how the game mechanics work. In the real world the poor countries would have settled the foreign affairs and worked on getting rich. RTW Ai doesn't do that so we help them out.

[Tellos Athenaios]

There are a number of concerns here:
1) The mighty should be mighty, but should also experience mighty problems. (AS should for example have a tough time preventing the break-up of the empire; as they did historically.) The Ptolemaioi need to feel the threat of Native Uprisings. >> Pontos; Hayasdan; Eleutheroi; Baktria; and Pahlava should have more a real fighting chance.
2) Lot's of smaller factions don't pose a real threat like they historically did; nor do they expand sufficiently. >> Saka, Sauromatae, Getai and depending from time to time: Arverni; Casse; Baktria and Aedui as well.

At the same time; there should be checks and balances - because it makes no sense gameplay-wise to keep pumping tons of money in one behemoth; and starve the other.

In fact, "balanced randomness" is one of things the team is looking at, particularly when it comes to give the Eleutheroi a new life. (Historically they weren't a pushover; so they should be to actually wage war against you - not just play a sitting duck waiting for slaugther.)

Ok, Cybvep, Foot, Tellos Athenaios... I think you got a point about randomness. So I'll concur with you guys, but not too much héh

[Cybvep]

Davor...

2) AI - scripted assistance = broke.

It's the truth, you won't change it. AI is dumb and without money, it's even dumber. If you really don't want any money scripts, you can just remove them.

you are penalizing and rewarding almost randomly… player and AI, and so with huge amounts of money… I don’t see the point. Your script is like a liberal (egalitarian) God. If you’re a believer… ok, but I am not.

Actually, randomness is the point - so each game will be quite different, even if you play with the same faction. Caps are here for balancing purposes. Oh, and this script isn't penalizing the bigger factions that much (and certainly less than most of the other money scripts) - the smaller ones get a greater chance of gaining the money burst, but that's it. Otherwise, they will get eaten by the Seleucids :P. Also, debt-preventers are not always instant - the greater the debt, the greater the chance of gaining the money. It's easier to hurt the AI economically for some time, but they always have a chance. AI just needs this.

Oh, and I'm an atheist.
