AI Does it declare War?

[unmerged(48342)]

Hey ,

I was just wondering if the AI declares war on the player?

I've been playing as a semi-peaceful Rome , and None of the AI empires bother me.

you must be an uber noob, yes the AI does declare war on you

If you were strong enough and the enemy AI that could declare war on you was occupied with something else, then perhaps it had no reason to declare war on you.

The AI definetely declares war on you.

In my 3 full campaigns (2 as Rome.1 Mac), AI never DOWed me. I tried slow, historical (at least with Rome) conquest.

 

[comagoosie]

Ugh...I was playing Rome and I got blindsided by Carthage o

You must be an uber S***head, it was just a simple question.

@ to the other members thanks for the feedback .

@BBuk80

3 times and no DOW's hmm, maybe I will try a smaller Nation and hope the AI declares war on me.

 

[JakethX]

well, youve played EU3 so obviously the AI delcares war, what kind of game would it be if the AI just sat around waiting to be conquered

I thought this was a tad immature - and uber nerdish/

 

[DesertSnow]

Actually, Jaketh's was neither immature nor nerdish, just plain stupid. A lot of people seek to prove themselves by insulting others.

Furthermore, i have a suggestion (i give it to people crying "NOOB" in multiplayer games, but this also seems like an appropriate situation).

"Being someone who is trying to learn how to play a game is not a nice thing, but being a jack-ass is FAR worse"

They do not declare war on you when you want them to do so .

Indeed. Had AI Carthage declare war on my Rome when I was engaged with Macedonia and allies. Too bad their fleet couldn't force the street between Sicily and Italy open, so I just adopted a "Greece first" strategy, finished the Macedonian war and then turned the full might of the Roman Legions on Carthage.

I seem to be pretty good at PO people in forums, i guess its just part of my character, i aready got kicked out of the Lucasarts forums and suspended from the Steam forum, ill try to be a little nicer

Thats totally unfair, I read the question in a similar fashion to my games.

Carthage so far is the only big nation to have declared war on me.

 

[Hajji]

My question is what difficulty are we all talking here? IS it the same on easy (AI attacking) or very hard?

I agree that the AI never attacks when you are ready,

The other nefarious way I have to initiate warfare is to get into some minor squirmish with a neighbor and wait or cause more cb attempts against them REmber the more stats that the envoy has (loyalty, popularity..etc) the more likely the AI will be to kill him... From which you get your CB...

In my game I waited and wait for carthage to get busy, and then decided to work oin something else, and bammo Carthage springs some cb worth actions

Personal insults are unacceptable. They are doubly unacceptable when someone is asking a legitimate question about AI behavior.

The AI is fairly good at picking the right time to DOW. It never DOWs a major power that is at full strength in terms of military power; if you want to see the AI DOW your peaceful Rome, disband 75% of your cohorts and wait six months. Any powerful neighbors you have will take the hint and attack you. Ditto if a civil war breaks out and the rebels take half the military with them.

 

[Monstro]

Yes...the ai declared war on me 4 times in my first game.I was playing with bosporean kingdom,2 times Rhoxolani(It's almos CERTAIN that they declare war on the begining).One from Iberia and one from Armenia.

 

[Eber]

If you really want the AI to declare war on you, raise your BB until you're the scum of the earth. I had all of Gaul plus Egypt and the Seleucid Empire DOW me.

Now that was a fun war.

While in the process of united most of Germania (I forget which nation, it was West Germanic) Rome declared war on me at around 500. Stupid Caesar and stupid Gaul AI for not wanting to ally with me to take out a common enemy.

I watched as Gaul fell apart one weak nation at a time. Guess that's what happens when you assassinate all of your enemies' generals before you force them into a war.
