The A.I. are like toddlers

>I know we were being huge dickheads, but can you pretty please give us back our cities?

<no

>Please?

<no

>FINE! I'll just destroy your things!

<okay

>enemy razes one village and fucks off across the map

<take their entire empire by force

>>13879794

not an argument :^)

>TW

Who refers to witcher like that?

wtf

>>13879822

It wasnt an argument retard, it was a question

Why would you waste money on developing AI when customers are fucking idiots who will suck your dick no matter how little thought or work you put in AI scripting?

>>13879827

You meant to say The Witness, right anon?

I can't think of a single strategy game that has good AI. Not really a genre for singleplayer

I bet if they took three years to make good AI and then just released any TW with that AI people would be all over it. Then they could make a new TW with said AI too.

Maybe I am just being too optimistic.

>What kind of whacky tobacco were they smoking when coming up with these outrageous demands?

I've never played a game where the AI was not a massively retarded cunt with their demands/requests in negotiations/diplomacy.

Devs are lazy fucks that rather remove features than fix them so they can milk the franchise in peace.

See: TWW sieges.

Total War's diplomatic AI has always been a bit of a mess. Empire's is halfway decent for the European factions but the Sandniggers, turkroaches, pajeets and injuns won't agree to deals that are even massively in their favour. Actually non-whites being unable to handle diplomacy is probably accurate anyway.

The diplomatic AI is actually bugged and they never fixed it. From what I recall there's a hidden value that determines how all the factions view you, and it increases and decreases depending on how you behave. Now, the problem is that playing the game the normal way inflates the negative value immensely, to the point where everyone in the game will start hating and trying to attack you, while there is very little you can do to earn good goy points.

Mind you, this was the case with Medieval 2 so maybe they changed it. All it tells me is that CA were always lazy pieces of shit. They didn't even fix the two handed animation bug in M2.

Here the blog post that goes into detail about this for anyone interested.

Is there a way to get allies in this series that won't eventually attack you?

>>13884249

There's a diplomacy mod for Shogun 2 that ensures your long time allies won't declare war on you when Realm Divide triggers. You'll still take a hit to your relationship with them, but not such a big one that they will declare war on you.

in toto wawa elves get some gay resource from events you can spend on increasing your relation with others or lowering relations between 2 others

>tfw no ancient middle east total war with merchant kingdoms

>>13881519

They turned that into a feature in Shogun 2, where after a certain point everyone (even vassls) would declare war on you. It was a broken mechanic since it also prevented you from getting any of the massive foreign trade income

Total War playerbase are just people who like to see tiny people fight, they are mostly braindead, so that's why the games focuses so much in units and massive battles and not in formations, fortifications, strategy and logistics.
