De AI Arbitriis - for Divide Et Impera

Introduction

This submod by Mepper and me (joysong) modifies the occupation decisions made the by campaign AI. It has custom decision making priorities for a whole range of AI groups, and aims to give them all a different (historically accurate) flavour. In doing so it makes the AI use a lot more different occupation options in general.

How the mod works

This mod creates 45 different faction groups, where there were 5 originally (although quite some of them are for the DLC campaigns). Each factions group gets assigned values for the likelihood they will pick one of the following options: liberate, loot, occupy, raze, sack or vassal. What choice the AI actually makes is random, all this mod does is customizing the chances something to happen.

What this mod aims to achieve

This mod aims to give a different flavour to all the faction groups, so that playing in different regions each have their own unique feeling. We have tried to find a balance between making this mod historically accurate and gameplay. Some examples of general faction preferences:
· Rome is focussed on occupying
· Eastern factions like to vassal a lot
· Barbarians sack very often
· Greek faction have a preference for liberating

This doesn't imply that these factions will always behave in this way, all factions have at least 5 different options when they occupy a settlement.

*Recommend*
If you wish to limit the AI's expansion even more, we recommend using this mod in conjunction with the Cultural Tensions mod. Cultural Tension increases between traditionally antagonistic peoples and repurposes the colonization and conversion system.
