Diplomacy vs AI and Humans

Diplomacy vs Humans and the AI are so different. An idea that humans can only influence the % instead of total control. Half or double the % would be enough Human control. Asking for peace can now bluntly be refused.

Re: Garrison choosing to fight in open field is a bug?

Must be a brave scout, not retreating behind the safety of the walls. Are you sure you have to be outside the city to do your scouting ?

Re: Joining the army on the march

For that we need a flexible waiting order. So you can wait till the reinforcements have merged and after that start advancing into enemy territory.

Re: Idle, should players be auto kicked from the game?

Replacing idle and dead leaders with random players and commands sounds great. Get a command you don't like, surrender and try again. Wiped out, return for revenge. Civil wars can get players as leaders too.

Keep idle players in the game, perhaps they return.

Re: Old and fat armies.

This is what manpower upkeep is supposed to be, the abstract rotation of soldiers when they have finished their terms. At least, if you play on Experienced difficulty or higher, veterans troops cost more to upkeep. Pocus, you name it yourself. It's abstract, if the rotation of a 20 unit strong army...

Re: Missing supply wagons, also navy supply is problematic

For pirates that's ok. That's their speciality. I only asked that normal ships should be able to sustain themselves if they successfully raid. If you plunder and burn down a coastal village you'll likely remember to grab some food and load fresh water. grab that fool and let the whip remind him to ...

Re: SUGGESTION: Gaming Mountain Attacks

Using a bigger army you can replace troops that get hits by fresh ones. Most heavy troops are clumsy and so do not fight well in Mountains.

Old and fat armies.

We all like to upgrade our armies to become battle hardened veterans. The downside should be present too, soldiers that become old and fat. Losing effectiviness over time. Killer stacks keeping their sharp punching power for more than a decade should be rare. So I suggest armies get an age and that ...

Re: Effect of dead leader or new government

Well I don't recall a historic event where a nation achieved peace in an ongoing war specifically because their ruler died (only defeat). On the other hand, many wars started against a nation immediately after their ruler died, because usually the new ruler/government has a weaker hold over its nat...

Effect of dead leader or new government

It would have effect on diplomatic relations when a leader dies or a new government replaces the old one. For better or for worse. Allies can claim they are the new leader and war errupts or accept becoming a client, this too can work two ways. War can stop because the fight was never against the pe...

Re: Another nation takes region while I'm battling defending army

As a defender it would be fun to see two invading armies fight each other first. The battered winner can after that try to defeat the Original defender. At this moment going into a neutral region with several armies is a black box situation.

None of them have Legions. A legitimate question though, why don't all heavier units suffer this spiraling expense ?

The trouble was not there before, but do you have a tip, so the card does use less heat ? The computer does feel warm indeed.

Re: Determining who enters what region.

If being the attacker gives a higher bonus compared to defending perhaps there should be a possible order to make your army wait till the enemy enters your region and just then unleash hell. Two armies in the open next to each other now have to move back a region hoping that other army enters the re...
