upgrade holdings

[nephilim2k]

Allowing the AI to upgrade holdings buy still keeping a cash reserve for paying levy troops would be nice.

Threshold being if there is 250 ducats in the bank then they start building after that point and keep a reserve of 100 ducats minimum.

This would prevent some of my vassals hoarding several thousands in ducats whilst leaving me to upgrade the holdings. Would be nice to see the AI do it also.

+1, related to the mayors building nothing issue

Also small vassals should keep realistic reserves in the light of what league they are playing in. No saving of 5K to hire enough mercs for a baron-tier mayor to resist revocation from an emperor.

It could be as simple as a couple of entries in the defines.lua file - how much gold an AI character will keep at a minimum and maximum when at peace, based on tier level. A Baron might keep minimum 100 (enough to buy the cheapest mercenary band) while a King might keep 800 (2-3 merc bands plus upkeep for a few years).

Of course as soon as war breaks out all bets are off.

well, problem is is if ai have loas of money thay spend it on upgaridng holdings - but MAIN only = thier direct (if techbology allows) but they happily ignore all lesser ones if they dont own it - held by baron, mayor..etc.
there should be treehold once yu have money above it, you will upgrade holdings of your vasals no matter what (priority on moey generating stuctures).
