AI - Infinite debt allowed for all ressources?

from Elemental Forums

Hey everyone,

I learned this recently by a friendly poster. :) And I was a little taken aback.

As it seems, the AI has no need for resources as he can go into the negative with all of it's resources (from what I heard, I only saw this with money). This seems to be the major cause for issues in large map games (lengthy games) as the AI will be able to sprout it's best units over and over in all of it's cities making it probably impossible to beat at some point :(.

I would rather see the AI with "big bonuses' to his ressource intake, than having him with literally "unlimited funds".

When I learned about this, it helped me understand why I was having a hard time staying on top of the military race in later games. Sure I wasn't the biggest on the map, still in the top contenders, and they would always outfield my armies by quite a margin.

I'm hoping that this was put in place until difficulty levels can be properly tweaked and this won't be necessary. (or kept for ridiculous difficulty :D)

Cheers,

V.

Yo V,

Its not only the resource bug, but also warrior temple bug that makes empire invincible or kind of. Because of warrior temple bug empire AI factions can build any unit in one turn. Well, you can too if you play as empire and get warrior temple.

Heres thread about it,

I think there is some mod that fixes the warrior temple bug, but there is no fix for the resource bug. :/

Use heavenfalls bug fix mod. Its in the Mods section, and all it does is modifiy the xml to fix tool tips, things like the warrior temple, and it makes the shards work for spells. I would classify it as a must have mod. (edit it doesnt fix the debt thing but it does fix the warriors temple to work properly)

Oi!

I did find "some" mods but it seemed to require me to go and personally change the .XML files. I found the thread about how to fix the shards (so that dmg bonus is applied to spells) And Although the guy sounds like a genius, I had a hard time following him when he was explaining which functions did what and "stuff".

Could you perhaps send me the link to this WONDROUS mod!? I'm taking 16 days off in a few days, so unless SD patch up the game I'm a little sad that my spells do squat in Tactical Battles :D And this Epic bug of instant armies will be a good fix.

Thank you my friends!
