Re: How does the AI raise armies?

From my experiences with the AI, the computer has some target number of armies he wants to meet as soon as possible. When he is under that number, he'll recruit as many units as he can each turn,...

Re: 2.08 and Incompatible Battle Reports

How about :

a = 2d6;
b = 2d6;
if ( x + a < y + b ) ...

Don't tell me there's a compiler around daft enough to evaluate b before a in this case !

Re: only commander unconscious = rout?

I am fairly certain that an unconscious leader doesn't cause his armies to rout. Perhaps your ennemy had fear causing troops, or perhaps you were just extremely unlucky on your morale roll ?

Re: What does cursed do ?

I confirm, being cursed increases your chances of getting afflictions when wounded.

A cursed item only means it cannot be removed from the wearer. Eyes or hearts are cursed, for example, and...

I agree that some sort of macro managing scheme would be useful. On the other hand, having played against the AI, I really don't want it administering my empire, or part of.

Re: A Tale of Fire and Blood

All right, I'll update this evening when I come back from work.
