AI Zunbil Empire

[kmh42]

Someone ever saw the petty Duchy of Zunbil become an Empire? This just happend in my Sassanid playtrough. In my AAR i write how it became alive. Just crazy.

 

[nanomage]

There was a thread here about a genius AI Zunbil who took over the caliphate, reformed Zunism and generally kicked ass. Big Zunni blob instead of big Sunni blob or something. Always good to se those guys fare better than usual.

 

[klopkr]

I've seen plenty of strong Zunbils but they're never Zunist.

 

[cheetar]

i once tried them out and it was a lot of fun

How the hell did they manage to grow so much? No holy wars available for them, and they can't even convert provinces until they're reformed (Practically never happens)

 

[kmh42]

Read my AAR.
In short: The Tengri Stepp Hore Lords conquert Kiva - Pagan can subjurgate each other - Zunbil subjurgated the HL-Empire while they were weak.

That has to be the worst country flag that I have ever seen.

It's not a country or a flag.

Wait, what empire is that exactly? Colour isn't right for Persia (and they don't have the territory anyway), and I thought AI couldn't form custom empires.

Subjugation of a titular pagan horde.

I thought AI couldn't form custom empires.

They can, they are just less likely to do so.

What determines if the ai will make custom titles? I've seen hundreds with the choice but so few do.

 

[Nuklearius]

What#

 

[JustSmall]

Those are the requirements for the player. Aren't they considerably higher for the AI, even requiring them to be ambitious?

 

[Robert II]

A few hundreds with the choice? I haven't noticed any at all until now. The requirements are pretty harsh:

I was also meaning titular kingdoms. Even so Charlie or random karling 12 in the old gods start occasionally meets those requirements except for the money, which I throw at them and they spend on extra duchy titles and new stables.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who attempts to help out the AI like that. I'll throw money at guys hoping they'll do things like form useful kingdoms or buy mercenaries to win a war. Instead they build 8 market villages and die of gout.

Charlie is the worst for it. When I play a charlemagne start as a Christian I try and help him as much as possible but the ai will make every last duchy and kingdom Title before the Empire.

 

[Boogeyman]

AI needs 120k prestige, or 40k prestige and proud, or 40k prestige and amibitious. And the usual stuff.

 

[secretfire]

Is there a way to lower the AI requirements for Empire? 120k prestige is insane.

 

[Boogeyman]

Yeah just edit form_new_empire decision in realm_decisions.txt.
