Good mods to prevent AI cheating etc?

[Wooly]

As of recent I feel like getting back into rome 2 and to give my reboot into the game a fair crack whats some good mods to prevent BS AI cheating etc?

please don't mention outdated and or difficult to install mods, cheers.

Cheating meaning ? clarify please.

There none because the AI can't run without cheats. WIthout cheats it kills itself with squalor and food. Halfway through your game most provinces would be rebels. The AI is to broken.

Your achievements show you are have not even got to a civil war, that's the halfway point.

Plus you have not played it in months, therefor you would not know the current state of the a.i, and just Fyi the a.i no longer starves itselfs and succumbs to rebels, that was fixed in a patch long ago.

Play the game, lol.


To answer the OP. Please specify how it is cheating.

Battle A.i? the a.i cheats? nope, you are already at a significant advantage there.

Campaign
The a.i does not cheat. That's the difficulty system implemented to increase the a.i's income by 0-40% based on the difficulty. It's meant to make the a.i on the campaign map harder to defeat.

If you seriously think it's cheating play on a lower difficulty, perhaps easy is more your speed as that removes the bonuses the A.i gets

Steam only logs when you're logged it eh? I played Rome on the road. Notebook and all, very useful. Besides friends play it, I talk to my friends. To my knowledge the 'fix' for starvation was a simple cheat on the AI side ;)
As for not cheating. Yes it does, it gets a flat base income to support at least two full armies, regardless of holdings. That's cheating. Beside any AI cheats if it has powers the player has not. Generally you handicap the AI that it's on a level playingfield but it can easily cheat. AI knows the exact range of all your units, when it';s in cover etc.

Very creative in your lie, nice try though. Who would even attempt to play this game on a notebook lol? it must look terrible.

No, that is not a cheat, it is the difficulty modifier at work, that's what increases the difficulty of the A.i on the campaign map as well as upping it's aggressiveness.

A cheat would be when the A.i is exploiting something that it was not intended to exploit, the extra money is put into place to support more armies and increase expansion making it harder to defeat.'

Again, it was intentional, not a cheat.

Cheat define:
1. Act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage
2. a person who behaves dishonestly in order to gain an advantage.

The a.i was not dishonest because the difficulty modifier gave it the advantage when you selected the higher difficulty, that's what makes the higher difficulty harder - it's not a cheat but a game mechanic.

No, it does not know where you are at all times during a battle, that is a false and inexperienced accusation.

Load up a custom battle, the a.i defending and you attacking. Leave your main body of your army and then take a flanking force into cover or behind a hill the that blocks the a.i's vision. When close enough the a.i will spot that force and then allocate some units to the side to defend the flank. It is not al seeing.

You have just as much of an advantage as the A.i does battle wise, probably more seeing that it is a stupidly designed A.i.

Additionally, if you find the battle A.i hard and accuse it of cheating then you must be very, very terrible at this game, the battle a.i has the skills of a 4 year old and is borderline reta-rded and easy to beat.

@Spec i concur the A.I. is retarded. BUT! i must say the amount of chance for actions the enemy agents have is insane for their success rate it's infuriating, even when my Agent is super power leveled up and built for what i need it to do still fails and they pull one out of their ass all the time thats is my issue. That is all

That's a very good point, we actually did not raise that issue before.
The A.i when it comes to agents does seem to have the advantage, it's pretty damn annoying; but not impossible to defeat.

I believe it does get more chances with agents, i guess that's a difficulty mechanic rather than cheating, even though it does seem unfair.

But, then again, seeing that the OP never stated how he thinks the A.i is cheating, we can't reach a conclusion based on the topic of discussion, or a mod recommendation. So sad :(

[Imposter]

Yeah it could be a difficulty issue concerning the Agents continually raping my settlements but man I'm winning the battles but not cladestine forces they are killing me! I am playing on Hard mode and playing Roxolani its kind dumb for me to fear their agents more than their Army i mean i was putting agent after Agent against them spending too much money on Agents failing actions, buying them for one and then having them wounded or dead to ice that cake >:(

[SuperGorp]

If you take out the AI cheating there is no game left. They have replaced strategy with spawning armies. But yes indeed, Rome 2 "sure is purty".

Not 1 reply has mentioned mods to get, just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at each other! GG

@OP i couldnt tell you atm, ive no idea which is or isnt working with the latest patch yet.

[Imposter]

But i wholly disagree on having too much amries against you... If you are good you can fight off 2 full armies against your single Army or fight one kill that Army and severly cripple their Army as yours gets defeated as you invade their land, I never really had an issue fighting endless armies bring them on! But Dat Agent ..Dat Agent...

Yeah you're right we should answer the man's question. You might try the Minor Factions mod, it decreases the UNPLAYABLE factions bonuses. But if you start chewing away at the AI bonuses you might want to consider the "Better AI recruitment" mod to balance things out.
