AI Occupation Choices

**Murderin** · April 01, 2015, 06:20 PM

I made this to change the way the AI handles occupation. There are mods like this already, but they are mostly part of large overhauls, I just wanted to change small things.

With this mod the AI is:

More likely to colonize desolate settlements
More likely to liberate destroyed factions
More likely to directly occupy a settlement
More likely to resettle from a horde
More likely to subjugate factions
Less likely to raze
Less likely to sack

I like it.
Save compatible? As in does it change any startpos stuff?

I'd say factions at present sack just the right amount. Gotta keep that high.

I wonder what effect this would have on hordes that are supposed to settle a long way from their start pos. Suebi, Vandali, Alani and Visogothic Hordes are all supposed to settle in Spain. If you make them settle quicker, we'd probably never see this. Still, better than never seeing them settle at all...

It is save compatible, and doesn't touch the startpos.

I made it for myself because I was tired of seeing nothing but razed provinces and 1 region factions. I just thought I would share it.

Since using it I have seen 2 random factions with 6 regions and 3 with 3. Its more fun, but that is subjective.

After some testing I decided to lower the chance of liberation slightly. Too many new factions were popping up. Everything else is still working quite well. The huns are razing the east, but that is to be expected. Very few towns have been razed besides those.

Nice mod!

Great idea, but I'm about 160 turns into a campaign with this mod and nearly every region of the WRE has been razed by the Huns.

db values doesn't %100 fix the problems, there are some background/hard coded or scripted values that effects AI's decisions, if there isn't bugs..
