Is there a way to mod things so that the AI is more willing to agree to a truce when it's approval is very low (and has been for some time)?



I'm trying to prevent all AI vs AI wars from being "fights to the death."



Thanks in advance.

Hello JetJaguar,



In case you missed the answer in your other thread here it is:

Modding the AI's willingness to make peace should be possible.



If the AI does not declare a truce it means that the perceived value of a truce is not high enough.

You can tweak these values in steamapps\common\Endless Legend\Public\AI - look for anything marked "truce".

For example:









I hope it helps!

Where do TruceTermAgentCriticity and WarTermAgentCriticity come from? What effects these numbers?

Yeah sorry, this was my post originally and there's a lot of jargon.



I'll try to unroll it a little:







For example the empire plan agent might want 40 influence points for the next empire plan. How accomplished this goal is depends on the current number of empire points, the current empire point income and the number of turns before the next empire plan. Based on the this degree of accomplishment the agent with panic to a greater or less degree: the empire plan agent specifically will tend to panic at least a little bit whenever there's any chance the plan might not be possible, as empire plans are binary (either you can afford them or you can't). The agent requesting population growth would be less inflexible.

This XML element defines the perceived value of the truce terms - you can actually see this in-game in the green/red bar at the bottom of the screen whenever you make offers/demands to an AI player. It is calculated based on how much the truce and war agents are screaming (values between 0 and 1).



You can't modify how much the agent perceive that their current situation is at odds with their desires, as this is done in code. So you can't, for instance, make the truce agent into a war agent and vice-versa. You can however tweak how much the agents "scream and wave their arms around" based on this value (ie. the aforementioned 'criticity' value). This is defined in Steam\steamapps\common\Endless Legend\Public\AI\AnimationCurves[AmasDiplomacyAgents].xml. Modify this at your own risk however, as:

We have not made our curve-editor tool available to the community (it would be a bit tricky to do so),

You can break everything very very easily!
