1. To what degree does the AI use the many trade and diplomatic features? Will it be up to the player to initiate trade proposals and diplomatic moves/proposals? (hope not as that would ruin gameplay)


The AI uses both trade and diplomacy and does not wait for humans to initiate. That doesn't mean that agreeing to an AI trade or treaty proposal is a good idea.

2. Have you implemented a "bad boy" system to prevent or make a world conquest extremely difficult?


When any power starts doing particularly well, others get concerned. France has a tendency to be the one causing the concern and the "world" does get worried and tend to gang up. Note that this is somewhat mitigated on the easier difficulty levels.

I'll post more screens later today. Any specific requests?

Regards,

- Erik

Is that about right, and are there any more symbols not shown?


That's basically it, yep - there's also a protectorate symbol for minor powers and I may have missed a few "face" levels but that's about how it works.

Each level is additive for the others, so you're getting an additional 25% bonus, for example with each tech increase.

Ok, may take a little while to setup though.

There's a "bad boy" system by which the AI will start to gang-up on a nation that is winning. There are a few caveats and conditions: tend to me more aggressively cooperative against the bad boy the closer the game is to completion (either in time limit or in glory score limit) and tend to cooperate more against nations who have conquered many provinces. There are a few other considerations, particularly ones based on attitude and the power of the second place competitor.

This system is disabled on the several easiest settings of the game.

The Nationalism advances are a little misleading in the docs. If you have any of the three you get the lowest number bonus; if you have any two, you get the middle; if you have all three, you get the highest. The other upgrades are simply additive; Nationalism has this non-linear effect.

Gee, it's a shame the they didn't put more thought into the game.

What are some examples of social aspects that could be controlled? How do social aspects influence the game?

Ok, here's an example of me deciding to attack Gibraltar in 1805 as Spain... and the next shot will show what happened a month after I began the siege. Note the level of walls/guns on Gibraltar and the apparent size of the fort on the map compared

Here are some screenshots to highlight those aspects. A lot of it revolves around deciding on your level of feudalism, welfare, taxes, draft, labor use, etc. How you develop your provinces and your economy also affects your growth rate and national morale affects your productivity, etc.

1. do provinces produce their own militia?
2. military training in the economic screen, the number of months training set is that relevant to the morale level a unit starts at? eg 6 months 1.9 18 months 50r 6 on the scale.

Each nation has a base morale for its new units. Unit quality also varies by scenario. Provinces have a level of "barracks" and "docks" that determine the increase in quality of divisions and ships that are built in them.

Thanks for the questions.

Provinces can produce their own militia. Number of months training of reinforcements is indeed related to the morale quality of the reinforcements.

'it looks totally sweet' he said.. 'go on.. press the add to cart button - you know you want to!' And I just couldn't help meself.

Seriously, it looks excellent! This one has totally slipped under the radar for me.. Can't wait to give it a try. 51% downloaded.. can't wait!
