Yeah, I wasn't saying it was realistic. I'm fully aware that there are dreams that cannot be but damnit I can still hope eventually
To me, this idea seems to contain essential conceptual flaws, since either the density of "permissible fort" provinces is low enough to guarantee no adjacent forts in which case it's plausible for a country to exist which isn't allowed any forts, or it isn't, in which case you haven't actually solved the problem of over-dense fort packing.
modifier = {
factor = 0
any_neighbor_province = {
owned_by = ROOT
OR = {
has_building = fort_15th
has_building = fort_16th
has_building = fort_17th
has_building = fort_18th
has_construction = building
}
}
}modifier = {
factor = 0
any_neighbor_province = {
owned_by = ROOT
any_neighbor_province = {
owned_by = ROOT
OR = {
has_building = fort_15th
has_building = fort_16th
has_building = fort_17th
has_building = fort_18th
has_construction = building
}
}
}
}You need both code blocks if you want to stop both adjacent and separated by one province forts.
Yeah that seems to be like be a great solution (and moron proof too) .
Ofc capitals would be allowed to build any type of fort so they would at least have 1.

}Can you confirm that the nested adjacent province thing shouldn't cause a lot of strain on the game? How often does the AI check these things. From my experience it's not slowing anything down, but I want to make sure before I invest more time into this solution.
First of all, i love you, won a free copy of Art of War on your stream XD
Second you have a couple of instances of redundant coding there, AND = {} and "NOT = { is_capital = yes }" when you can simply put "is_capital = no"
Third your base factor is 1500 when everything else is 100 which in itself is not a problem;
However, fourth, your terrain modifiers of 0.80 is rendered irrelevant by it, because if you reduce 20% from 1500, it will still outweigh everything else (by something like 10x for base values), and might get picked anyway, no?
And fifth if i was you, i would add a certain limiting factor if you insist on terrain being used like that; make sure that owner is on a certain continent (say Europe for example) because if you leave it like that (and reduce base factor) you might cause AI to not build forts at all (edit: rather build them at a sub optimal rate) in places where you have a high concentration of those terrain types.
