Are Idea groups hardcoded for AI?

[Mr Bobo]

I was just wondering if idea groups are hardcoded for the AI or if they are diferent from game to game for the same country?

I loaded up my savegame as Ottomans (I was playing before as Rogusa) just to check what idea group they chosed and to my supprise they chosed the Naval idea group. I think it was strange... thats all.

The AI always picks from its historical ideagroups, but not necessarily in the order they are scripted.

Thx for answer. Where can I find the list of ideagroups for countries in the files?

How are the idea defined for ck2 converted game? In mine there is no historical colony power alive(no France, england, Portugal, spain...) ! I have Latin empire in my current game as I don't see it in the country folder I think it is a Ck2 only country, in this case how will be ideagroup decided (Random or generic for all Ck2 only countries)?

Is it possible to add more than 8 idea groups, seeing as they are random?

Burgundy has 9 groups listed so I would assume so.

I expect the converter has scripts to generate ideas, as well as fill in ones that have been advertised specifically.

Not as far as I remember, no. Only the order is random.

I would imagine that they would get the generic ideas.

You can mod the game easily to add more possible ideas groups for the AI to pick from and increase the nomber of ideas group the AI can pick.
