still not playing the game again until they implement this.

happy birthday

[quote who="Gene1966" reply="4" id="2767057"]I bet the OP has Highly researched Diplomacy and Retarded does not and that Diplomacy changes the trade ratios... Dollars for donuts I'm guessing thats what's going on. [/quote] would take a lot of refining to put trades in the green. there has to be some other value modifiers involved.

i was messing around with AI trading. I went from Faction to faction to see if there was anyway to make any gold off of excess resources, nada. then i went to the minor factions. i thought "hey, they don't have any resourcese, they will give me top dollar for this stuff!" I was right, they valued resources higher than any faction did(still not much). but then i went to ask for gold to pay for all the goodies i was offering. the AI valued its 900gp at 22,50

you would send them to the afterlife without weapons? without their trusted steed? heathen!

it doesnt work. AI buys back at 1/5 the price that it sells. buying 24,809gp - selling back 5,407 gp.

oh god. the nerdity.

common complaint. hopefully the combat system will be a lot better after the next patch.

@ BryanKMills - no [quote who="seung-kyu" reply="4" id="2766048"]I'm used to computer selling crystal for 200 per...so it can really depend... [/quote] just double checked my values. best i could do was 7gp per crystal with an AI that had zero crystals and a relationship of "Close". if they h

technically you can. but in reality no, you cant. never saw an AI that would give squat for materials or more than 1gp each for crystals and horses. i did get a fair price for metal once but thats it (the other AIs all had enough metal that they wouldnt give me anything) real trade at set rates would be an excellent improvement to minor factions.

[quote who="VR_IronMana" reply="186" id="2765975"] Quoting Zeferoth, reply 183 The morale of this post. You dont have to be naked to look like a woman Exactly, and I think the real thrust of this thread is exactly that. Not the "OMG I WANT ALMOST NEKID CHICKS IN THE GAME" like some tried to turn it into. [/quote] i think the "thrust" (freudian slip?) of this thread is simply that we want more in

bug: make sure you click "OK" when you are finished selecting the amount of gold. if you don't, the amount will be listed on the barter table, but it wiill not register.

people tend to forget that this isnt a tbs-strategy/wargame. its a tbs-strategy/wargame with fantasy rpg elements. which means if you want better equipment, you have to do it the fantasy rpg way: kill monsters. one of my favorite features of the game. HOWEVER, i do agree that city economies need a boost (or equipment prices need to come down). taxes: you only hate them until you cannot force your imaginary citizens to pay them.

[quote who="1SuperG" reply="29" id="2765568"]I'm NOT looking to start a flame war here and frankly am fine with you guys doing whatever you want with your forum. I'm just noticing a housekeeping issue I guess. If the intent in not allowing replies to certain threads in the developer forums is to not have comments on the remarks isn't it a bit counter productive to copy the entire post into a new thread and then let people reply? Wouldn't it be easier to keep the t

[quote who="Twohawks" reply="20" id="2765812"] yes it is but any valid point you had went out the window when you implied their reasoning was stupid.. My concern with this is can the AI at a later date choose a wife or did they hard code one in as a solution? [/quote] i am willing to admit that my sarcasm turned caustic and i apologize for that.

criticism is healthy. learning how to deal with criticism is an important life skill. i criticize because i care. now quit being such big babies. now if this thread asked "how can i alter the values of the AI so that they can arrange their own marriages later in the game rather than from the start?" I would have replied, "the AI was not designed to do that and therefore code would have to be written to change it. Unfortunately, modders don't

[quote who="Polistes" reply="13" id="2765449"]Maybe some of us would like to marry the AI leaders? That Queen Procipinee is pretty hot you know [/quote] that i like. [quote who="Heavenfall" reply="12" id="2765447"] The only thing hurt would be my hope for humanity. There's no such thing as a stupid idea when it comes to breaking new ground in modding. Where you see only a nerf to AI, I see possibilities. [/quote] wrong.&nb

[quote who="Sinful01" reply="10" id="2765435"] I'm just shocked someone called the AI "hyper-intelligent" non-facetiously. [/quote] i was confused until i realized you were being facetious. :P

[quote who="Dewie" reply="5" id="2765413"] must be a another randomness problem. there are either too few or too many (insert random resource here) every time you start a new map. Resources should not be that rare. What do you have the world difficulty set to? Note that the easier setting, the more resources will be available. The only resource that is guaranteed to be near you is a fertile land tile. [/quote] never had the problem personally, i have just he

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="7" id="2765393"]Yes, welcome to MOD land, thisisretarded. Where we try to CHEAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE and then FORCE EVERYONE TO USE IT. Or maybe we try to alter things that make no sense, to make a better game for those that want it. It's one of those, at any rate. [/quote] i certainly never accused anyone of cheating. i just implied that it was stupid. also that accusing the AI of "cheating" was stupid. and tha

[quote who="Novaburst" reply="3" id="2765192"] Quoting thisisretarded, reply 1 why would you do that? Should be obvious that it's dumb that the AI cheats in that regard. It has children by turn 30. It should be on equal footing with the player. [/quote] so you would rob the ai of the ability to have children, and therefore the ability to marry your own children to them? thats genius. cripple the hype

[quote who="NorseDude" reply="5" id="2765358"]I tried to restart and create a sovereign all over again, and this time I got a few funny results. If I had only the sovereign, I can't enter combat mode at all. All the fighting takes place automatically on the map. To compensate, my sovereign hit the enemy so hard he flew backwards and landed in the next square. Not bad for a spellcaster. When I have more characters, I can enter combat mode as usual, and this time I made it up to level 3 without
