Get AI to Stop Changing Civics!

[jbryant]

Ok, so everything is going pretty well with the Iran-Iraq mod I'm working with. However, turn 1 the Ayatollah goes all free speech and free religion. Very un-Ayatollah-esque. How can I stop him from ruining his great Islamic Republic?

This is pretty much what Python scripting is for. I'm not sure on the details, but you would be better served starting a thread in the Python/SDK forums about this.

Or you could modify his AI and give him two favourite civics - the ones that you want him to have.

Well he changes off one of his favorites, so I'm not sure this will work out.

Ai's Should not do that!

Sure it should, if it makes sense .
I've even seen Toku running free market.


@Topic:
Assets\Python\CvGameUtils.py:

PHP Code:

    def cannotDoCivic(self,argsList):
        ePlayer = argsList[0]
        eCivic = argsList[1]
###can't change civic start
        pPlayer = gc.getPlayer(ePlayer)
        iLeader = pPlayer.getLeaderType ()
        if iLeader ==gc.getInfoTypeForString("LEADER_WHATEVER"):
                        if eCivic ==gc.getInfoTypeForString("CIVIC_FREE_RELIGION"):
                                return True
###can't change civic end        
        return False 


cannotDoCivic has to be activated in Assets\XML\PythonCallbackDefines.xml (if i'm not wrong).

Create new techs that enable all the other civics, and make sure they are not researchable by anyone. Then give certain civs techs that will enable specific civics.

Or use this:CLICK THIS
Disable tech is what to read only civ "X" cannot research tech "Free Speech" so only civ "X" cannot get free speech which is enabled by "Free Speech"

Wouldn't it be easier to just disable specific civilizations from getting specific civics?

For example, putting this in CvPlayer::canDoCivics in CvPlayer.cpp:

	if (eCivic == (CivicTypes) GC.getInfoTypeForString("CIVIC_FREE_RELIGION") && getLeaderType() == (LeaderHeadTypes) GC.getInfoTypeForString("LEADER_AYATOLLAH"))
	{
		return false;
	}

Replace LEADER_AYATOLLAH with the actual type tag you are using for the Ayatollah leader.

I'm clueless on Python so I just use XML

That's actually C++, not python- The_J's example is python.
