Damage inc.'s comment was my concern with a mod like this. It's a nice idea but I can see by making AI more aggressive that they would end up destroying their economies and actually end up being weaker after a while through war exhaustion. Just in irl, a faction will need periods of peace (or at least relative peace) to rebuild for the next war. If it was a good idea to make the AI more aggressive without ruining anything else to make the game more exciting, the CA devs probably would have done it themselves.

seems odd to be negative 1400 with Anthonys rome, and hes still letting me trade with him xD after 70 turns, never declared war on me, granted was playing as the iceni and miles away, bjut still didnt even cancel trade, i guess he really wanted my furs, depite getting them from friendly factions nearby, i think this mod is out of date.

Thank you for this mod much appreciated!

Unfortunately, in my experience this mod achieves the opposite of the intended effect.

With this mod you will spend the first couple of dozen turns sweating because basically every single one of your neighbours will declare war on you right away. But then once you manage to survive that and consolidate, you're looking at an AI that is constantly at war, destroying their troops and wasting their income on rebuilding armies rather than upgrading their economy. They also leave their cities undefended because they're constantly on the offensive against other AI as well and the game becomes even more of a steamrolling simulator after the midgame.

when i use this mod the ai just stand still doing nothing

does this still work?

@monkeybomb911 See my mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2964477209

this game is sh!t becuse its so weak on the computer ai wont atack me wasit of my time. but Thunter Bagle thank you so much this mod here if u play rome on very hard with this mod the game will shock you the ai you have beat into sumishion will back stab you. and other Ia if u dont give them a tone of silver for them to stay on your side the to will take you down i have lost games becuse of this mod.. on Very hard.... . but on Hard it seems with this mod the Ai still wont do anyting. hardly.. I often only have 1 hard comp put up a hell of fight. and almost win vers me. but other then that still to easy.. but dear god with very hard its almost inpossble to win vs them with this mod THANKS SO MUCH BIG MAN :) oh and dont change this mod at all. I know u have a nother mod like this that makes more pain I dont even wont to try it. I to much of a girl

Merci pour le bon travail.

Does this work for all dlc??

Response to modders question that you left, I'm wondering the same thing, I'm wondering what the personality_strategic_components section does? Specifically retreat ratios, as I'm frustrated as well by the lack of settlement attacks, where is our damn pearl harbor moment!

do you have a agressive ki mod on leg or veryhard without bonuses for the ai?

can you make a mod like all factions are in war with you?

Can you make one compatible with DEI?

does this make the AI aggresive towards each other too?

hi, thanks for the mod. it really spiced up my game. especially when i play as the arverni or the arevaci where all the other tribes with the same culture is really passive towards me due to the massive cultural affinity increase

Hello gamers/modders

i'm currently more and more getting bored in the vanilla campaign, which i liked so far, but only if the AI would attack my walled cities this would be great, all they do is sending spy after spy to sabotage. An attack on a walled city just never happens. i tried the a more agressive AI of different modders, and an ultra agressive AI, it does just not change, a walled city with a legion in it is never attacked by the AI, a garisson setlement sometimes. If only a modder could make a vanillamod where your walled settlements are being constantly attacked and you could defend it from the walls, that would be great. I dont know wether i should try DEI , radious, or war of the gods on higher difficulty to get this kind of gameplay, if it would change i don't know.
does anyone feel the same dissapointment? that this should be different? Let me know if someone of you has found a solution to this issue.

thanks

I love this so much!!!!!!!

Is this works for all DLC?

I think I figured it out. I tend to make peace with Qidri on the first turn, because I don't care to conquer Arabia that early in the game. For some reason this makes me "Untrustworthy". That's got to be a bug, but I don't think it has anything to do with your mod.

Thanks for the mod by the way. :)

Has anyone played as the Seleucids with this mod? I've played other factions, no problem, but as the Seleucids... I can't get any trade agreements/non-aggression pacts, and literally every single one of my neighbors declare war by turn 5.... I'm not sure if it's just this mod or the Seleucids though....

it won't crash but not sure if it will improve gameplay or not, given DEI has a very different balance than vanilla

DOES THIS WORK FOR DEI?

I love this mod so much.... thanks

@Turquoise-Falcon Thank you for the info, and a thumbs up for the mod and your efforts!

@FeelsAmazingMan, the only things this mod does is cause the AI to be a bit more likely to declare war on factions it doesn't like and a bit more likely to go on the offensive against factions its at war with. It doesn't touch agents

@Turquoise-Falcon First of all thank you for making mods and improving the otherwise stale game. How does this mod affect AI agent behaviour? I've been recently using some other AI mods, but they seem to completely remove 99% of AI agent usage. I'm not in a position to immediately test this out, and I'm not knowledgeable at detecting changes by opening the mod in PFM.

Thank you for the mod, thumbs up sent

There is a dedicated version of this mod for Radious so use that one. I don't think it works with DEI, and this mod doesn't touch the AI when they have friendly relations

Thx for your mod, it is larger challenging ! ^^ And it is good !
Questions :
Why very friendly civilizations are declaring war on me?
Twice, when I was over 150, they declared war on me reasonless. Yet I was the civilization with the greatest friendship they shared. 🤔
Does it happen to others?

does it work with DEI?

Is this mod compatible with Radious

going to try out this mod

@Edelweiss, no they can't and A Very Aggressive AI is the more challenging while this version is more balanced

''A Very Aggressive AI'' & "A More Aggressive AI" can work at the same time or not ?

''A Very Aggressive AI'' is more harder ?

i really like rome 2 but what bothered me is that you conquer the world and nobody does anything to stop you i hope this problem will be solved with these mods.

Thanks everyone!

i hate how passive aggressive the ai is. And i never get to defend a big city like athens or rome as they always hold out for siege instead! be nice to defend for once haha

Just wonted to say all 3 of your mods saved this games ass. game sucks with out this mod here. so big thanx. I played the other one were factions wiill hardly make peace with you. I ilke it and glad its a option for me to run. I think very hard canpain. and this mod here tho I like best

can you please make the AI smarter? Allies many times ignore me and i my strategy is useless when that happens

@Armistice I'm not the modder, but that thing you say happens in vanilla too.

hey there is a problem with the mod where other factions, who are minor, attack the player and then instantly regret it and can be cashed out by the player repeatedly for alot of money. which is an exploit.
thankyou

"Better AI Recruitment" is a obsolete mod, abandoned

@Iamorgue I'm not sure. It's possible that the AI goes into FM less because they're on the offensive more

@Multihog thank you. This mod was always only meant to nudge the AI, not to drastically change it :)

And balance is everything.

"Balance is very important to me! I don't want the campaign to feel like just an all-faction dogpile on the player so if anything seems unbalanced, please tell me and I will correct it as soon as possible. I check my messages daily."

Smart words. Often subtle changes are just the thing needed. Too often people go overboard, and then balance is ruined.

also do you recommended this mod "no forced March" or increased aggressiveness compensates may be the problem ?

No, there is a mod called "No Forced March" though

hello Does this mod solve the problem of AI which uses forced march all the time? I hate running after an enemy army in my own territory or having to use 4 to corner one

both
