Should eu3 have a "never do" command in AI file?

[Johan]

While I'm not against adding that specific command, I just want to caution against having the rigidly defined AI files that the HOI series has. The time frame is over hundreds of years, there should be a lot of wiggle room for how any one nation behaves. While I want the game to try to emulate the basic flow of real world history, I always enjoy a good deal of diversion in every different EU2 game I play. It's part of the reason I can keep playing EU2 and mods to this day, while I can't say the same with HOI I or II.

That will not happen. I can guarantee that. I absolutely abbhor having to spend huge amounts of development time on "limit the ai to act 'historically'". And then you get 2 groups of players screaming.. "the ai sucks, I can trick it easily" and "war xx does not happen!! omfg bug"

 

[Johan]

Comments from Johan and MrT indicate that the events and AI behaviour will be more of a CK style than EU2.

I would not say that..

Its just that EU3 will not go towards the HoI2 and Victoria route of enormous events and ai files to force certain historical outcomes no matter what.

I am confused...

Does this mean that EU2 will get a major overhaul in the near future?

no..

Its supposed to say EU3.
