Second enemy base

[Schiffu]

Playing the campaign for the billionth time and wondering if there's a mod or something to disable enemies having two bases? I'm playing on hard with advanced AI tactics and its fun 1v1. I'm not looking for any in-game solutions (honour guard steam roll etc) as my preference would be to remove it entirely if possible.

hey man , i dont think there is one . however there are many mods on moddb that improve the campaign if that is what you want

[Schiffu]

Thanks Prune. Playing with unification mod atm. I'll tinker with it until I find a happy middle ground.

[The Avenging Son]

Yes, it is possible, it is configured in files under the path data/ai/metamap

[Schiffu]

Thanks man. I had a look through setting0.ai in metamap and couldn't find anything related to two starting bases in AI territories :(

Аor each strength of the territory, its own number of computer players is prescribed.

Replace the corresponding lines in these files with the following (they are at the end of the files):

DifficultySettings =
{
{
MilitaryStrength = 1,
AIRank = 0,

AIOpponents =
{
{
Difficulty = "Insane",-- Difficulty which equaled easy must be fair.
},

}
},

{
MilitaryStrength = 2,
AIRank = 1,

AIOpponents =
{
{
Difficulty = "Insane",
},
}
},

{
MilitaryStrength = 3,
AIRank = 2,

AIOpponents =
{
{
Difficulty = "Insane",
},
}
},

{
MilitaryStrength = 4,
AIRank = 3,

AIOpponents =
{
{
Difficulty = "Insane",
},
}
},

{
MilitaryStrength = 5,
AIRank = 4,

{

},
}
},

{

}

{

{

AIOpponents =
{
{

},
}
},
}

As for me, it's more interesting to play either 1x3 or 2x2, with an ally)

How do you manage 1x3 without a good honour guard? The AI "cheats" on hard with starting resources, bases, army etc. Genuinely asking as different ways to play the campaign intrigue me.

I like the 2x2 idea, i might try that if it gets easy towards the end.

[The Avenging Son]

To do this, various kinds of bonuses are invented: the use of the Ar'ka cannon in battle and others, you can see screenshots here:

Maybe someday I will translate the mod into English.

P.S. Maps are also edited

I don't have these lines in my 3 AI difficulty files(settings0, settings1, settings2)
I want to mod DC and i would like to ad 3 AI base at military strenght lvl9 and lvl10.
