Constantly forced to War

[Neyaria]

I dont know man , why you have to be in Constant War against AI. there is never a single round where you can just think about tactics and further Expansion where you settle your troops.

ITS a constant rush against others. YOU cant sit back watch faction fighting out wars and then decide which one you gonna attack, you cant settle or prepare for a war. cause you get constantly attacked , they gonna constantly decleare war against you,its like :

" oh you playername "
you only get attacked from 4 sides and so im gonna ruin your game now cause im programmed like that, cause i saw an armee of yours anywhere in the map, now i know you and every person in your armee and the king, so i can declare ware on you for reasons !

dont know its just constantly a rush and that is not about stategy for me . Diplomacy and Intrigue´s thats what i want to see in a game with such charackters and lore !

EDIT:

AI = the fact the the game difficulty is just , AI spamming units or more Units against the player direction and declaring war on sight, what is so fun about it nothing its just stupid ?
AI = oh hello you killed my greates rival in the world , im so gratefull that you free us from all the pain and suffering and the tyranie, but now i dont know what to do , oh yeah im declare war on you cause reasons !
AI = well its round 63 player still alive check , player is in war check, player is in war against 3 factions "alarm" check diffucult is on hard "check code"= if difficult on hard, player has to be in war with 7 faction ! if not role a dice between remaining faction and declare war against the player!
AI= you killed all my armies and i only have one area left , please lets be friends
whaiting 20 rounds, cheating himself gold and materials, now i have again 3 armies, i declare war !

"There is only war", it will have even more sense when CA announce Total War Warhammer40K. :)

As for OP thread, try little mod from Wolfy called Bring Boys Home, it makes the war mechanics more logical and fun to play with, it is compatible with everything.

There are over two hundred factions, you can't be friends with all of 'em.

is it that hard to understant are you and ppls like you rly that stupid that i have to explain , do i rly have to explain it like im talking to an APE ?

i never wanted that i become best friends with everyone what is wrong with you ?

The hell is your problem? You're a sperg. No wonder the AI attacks you, you probably don't even know how diplomacy works.

My understanding of the madness is this.

AI favours attacking the player.
AI will more likely attack the player if they sense weakness.
AI is stupid, can't be trusted but can be abused.
Auto-resolve can leave your armies weakened resulting in AI seeing your faction as weak and thus declaring war on you.
Fighting anyone, affects the relationship of multiple nearby AI factions and changes their feelings towards you over time.

Things are a lot more manageable when I learned to not rely on autoresolve as much and come out of battles without butchering my own armies. It still gets a bit crazy sometimes but once the snowballing begins this stuff becomes a bit irrelevant anyway unless you make a huge mistake somewhere.

It's called Total WAR WARhammer. Get over it, it's a war game.

Yeah, he's one of those people. I really don't understand what is up with all those individuals posting their Ls online, then acting mad that people call them out and laugh at their incompetence. Maybe... don't post stupid things? It's not that hard.

I understand your point. It is really inflexible since the AI is programmed that way. They just declare war on you for no obvious reasons.

It would be bit more dynamic and real if they have particular sets of reason, i.e., they are strong, they want to expand and we are in their path; we are the threats to them so they preemptively do so. And it would be much better if AI can see they are in the disadvantage and seek for truce. I hate to completely wipe out a faction and expanding like crazy.

All of this is already the case. The computer opponents have personality traits and affinities which dictate their behaviour towards you on top of the normal relation modifiers.
No opponent is going to mysteriously declare war on you, you will always know why if you look into it.

Or the Orks and Bretonians right on their doorstep. No, let's cross a mountain range to attack these fellows over here who's only mistake was existing and being the player.

Also if this is 'Total War', then why did they backpedal Chaos being instantly at war with order factions?

[Païtiti]

Ugh, another salt threat because the game is not behaving 100% the way a user expects? Cry me a river lol

[IonizedMercury]

Keep posting this nonsense until CA decides to remove the AI entirely from the game.

[Werdna]

People who say "this game is called Total War" riddle me this
Why AI never fights on 2 fronts if one of those is YOU?

Ofc you are the center of attention. Because you are the player. Have you actually tried the game with mods that take that away? The game becomes boring by turn 30. The game is complete nonsense without the "anti-player bias".

If the game is too hard and the AI kicks your ass then the difficulty settings are too high. It's so easy to just decrease them until the player has reached a competence level on which harder difficulty levels are viable. But obviously people want to play on L/VH, be bad at the game but still rock.

Some people dont like when dwarves, humans, and elves act as orks, scavens, and demons. Weird change from previous part. Also currenly if you are human that is at war with all chaos - you are the greatest threat for the empire. So currenly you often go to chaotic wars with everyone before end of all enemies.(in prev part this start when allies forget about prev wars, but still have -100 to player cause he is big(and to each other but i dont sure cause played years ago and dont remember))

With this i feel nice when play faction that is evill for everyone, but feel awfull when play good guys, or someone who neutral with neighbours. Too much stupid things.

If the game is too hard

Nothing hard about using same exact gimmick that prevents you from taking severe casualties like spamming wind of death or corner camp or archer spam etc.
My problem is that it burns me out. How people find 3 fullstack fights per turn as fun before turn 20 is beyond me.
If you want to make it fun then give my Ikit Claw unlimited nuks
Unnerf my Manfred's wind of death
Make Arkhan's life lich deal 5k damage per cast BEFORE greater conduit bonus.
Make artillery as accurate as archers.
Make fights last less than half an hour.
