AI very stupid about Alex' conquest of Persia #41

Closed PhelanBavaria closed 7 years ago

The AI never conquers the Achaemenids, the only time I saw them was in a defensive war where they helped Bythinia. My proposal would be to force them by event to declare war, but only if the AI plays as MCD. If you can find a better solution then do that.

This solution seems best. On 1 Sep 2015 16:09, "PhelanBavaria" notifications@github.com wrote:

Another problem is that when Macedon declares war, it usually peaces out way too soon. I think this problem is mainly caused by the instant annexation system.

Firesoul7 commented 8 years ago

Not having that system would only make it worse. A possible way to fix the problem might be to set up a repeating event that keeps Alexander at war with the Achaemenids for as long as he lives, or until one of them no longer exists. On 1 Sep 2015 19:38, "qweytr" notifications@github.com wrote:

That wouldn't work. And I'm not suggesting to get rid of the annexation system entirely, but there should be a delay between the province occupation and the annexation like in ET.

Another way to make Macedon more interested in conquering Persia would be to grant them claims on all Achaemenid provinces.

Possibly

Can this be closed? Was it ever fixed?

qweytr commented 7 years ago

This has not been fixed and I don't think it can be fixed. The reason the AI fails to conquer all of Persia is not because it can't, it's because it doesn't want to. If you take a look at the provinces AI Macedon desires, it has no interest in most Persian provinces.

Firesoul7 commented 7 years ago

Can we close this issue then as a 'as good as we'll get'?

qweytr commented 7 years ago

I can close this for now. I'm not happy with how the AI Macedon behaves, but for now there are more important things to deal with.
