ACW almost alway happens in 1849

Purple monkey dishwasher. See? I can say random things too.

Seriously though, how is that in any way related to the thread?

Well if you're telling me that Mexico is playing by the same rules as the player in the demo then I'm impressed!

yes, same rules.

 

[Darkrenown]

Since none of the betas mention it, does this mean that this is a last-moment change for the demo that is somehow broken, or am I just really unlucky?

There used to be even more rebels. I suppose for us the current rebels seem much fewer while for a new player they could still seem too common. Or it could also be you're all stuck playing the USA as it's tearing itself apart over slavery so everyone is aggitated and more prone to rebel.

It is.

id rather have a challenge, than some lame principles....

thats Normal difficulty for you then. we have discussed some ideas other than the normal combat bonuses for difficulty settings. Things like making the ai play more unhistorical like a player would (clock up more infamy and ally more agressively etc)

 

[Darkrenown]

Isn't there some kind of text file where you can give the AI whatever bonuses you want anyhow?

Not tried, but you might be able to set a ai = yes modifier in stactic_modifiers.txt. If that doesn't work I know you can make AI only events, so you could have one to grant all AIs a triggered "cheat" modifier.

 

[podcat]

Wait.... I saw modifiers for the different difficulty settings in the 'static modifiers' txt file. They even had separate difficulties for human players and AI.
Can we mod them back in?

Besides that, I'm pumped!

they are in the static_modifiers.txt file and are actually applied by the code.. however there is no interface to select difficulty level.

As Johan wrote in this thread: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11489568&postcount=9

If alot of people request them, we can add it to the 1.2 patch. We just wanted the game to feel polished and balanced without any options.
