I haven't been attacked once in 80 turns

It's interesting that I have not seen the described kind of AI activity even with the BI.ex (been playing on H/M or VH/M).
I must say that I've been playing with BI.exe from the moment when Rome Total Realism Platinum was released, on through EB 0.8, 0.81 (it's too early in the campaign to judge the 1.0 version yet) and I have seen absolutely NO changes in AI behaviour. Well, I have noticed some subtle ones, like smarter reinforcement logistics, but otherwise I have yet to see the AI land one unit on my territory. I do remember Carthage reinforcing Lilybaeum with units - once. That's all.
I'm playing Carthage now, and it doesn't look like much changed. Except for some reason rebels now dare to attack cities (?!), which causes more annoyance than harm.

I"m getting annoyed with BI on mine, the I'm about another 40 turns into my game and the AI cannot stop compulsively sending 2-4 unit "armies" to land in Italy and randomly besiege my cities (and then be easily destroyed). So far I've been suicidally attacked by KH and Carthage, and have a huge, apparently peaceful Aedui army led by their faction leader whos now been standing next to Segesta for over 10 yrs! The huge Aedui army and a huge Epirote one (landed in Italy after a peace treaty, hasn't done anything but randomly move around and terrify me) are the only ones who HAVEN'T attacked me yet, but the 2 unit armies (usually a skirmisher and a militia unit) love to.

It would appear the AI in RTW is too docile, while the AI in BI is suicidally stupid. Interesting choices. I don't really see how EB could fix this though.

I've never seen a peaceful campaign like that....you sure your not playing on easy campaign difficulty? Even medium usually sees some attacks by 248.

It sounds like you've hit the nail right on the head. I'm not sure which is better but maybe I'll give BI a try.

Yeah I am sure.

I am wondering if increasing the amount of money the AI has would increase the amount of units they make? (and send out to war?) I've been a forum "lurker" and an EB player for years but I just recently tried doing mods of my own.

Do you have a mod of your own which might be screwing up something with 1.0?

**general_varro** · 10-15-2007, 23:08

i was a bad boy....i was so excited to play i just loaded up eb and went into it. there was no ctds or anything...no attacks either...i was alive after 50 or so turns...which just shouldnt happen...hahahah i did have a different mod installed that i had been playing for some months (roma surrectum).

**Bootsiuv** · 10-15-2007, 23:26

Other mods can screw up EB....if you want other mods, just put them in a different copy of R:TW from your EB installation. That's what I do (I have XGM, RoP, EB, and Roma Surrectum all installed on my computer, but they're all in a different copy of Rome). Never experienced any problems using this method.

I'm seeing AI shipping armies around every time I look around the map. Always. Whether it be the Ptollies landing units on Krete, Maks in Rhodes, Greeks in Africa, Carthage in Italy, Rome in Corsica, something is always going down. This is BI.exe I'm talking about of course. This seems to be the case with a lot of other people as well so I'm pretty sure it's a reliable thing.

Am using EB 1.0 + plain RTW no BI or whatever.
I see:
-1) The Ptolemies; the Epeirotes; the Romani; the Qartadastim use ships real often. I saw the KH & Maks do so as well; but their ships got all destroyed; and their economy is pretty much to hell after all the war they've been through.
-2) The Ptolemies empty their garrisons to throw at me; I'm AS so that's no surprise. I got fed up with them sneaking ashore to drop Peltastai from Salamis or Galatian Kleruchs from Alexandreia so I've made an end to that...

this happened to me in my saka campaign. i wasnt being attacked...so i was advised to uninstall and reinstall everything...it worked. i might have had a different mod affecting my gameplay
