A Leaderhead Personality Idea...

[The Capo]

This is a crazy idea I was thinking of, and I am sure others have thought of it as well, and have probably already posted on it. But I'm drunk, so I don't care to look too much right now.

Is there a way to code a HATRED for a specific leader or civilization? And by that I mean into a specific leader. For instance Boudica could hate the Romans, or Sitting Bull could HATE the Americans.

Just an idea. If anyone wants to expound upon this that'd be appreciated. Otherwise I'm sorry I posted this, and if nothing happens I wouldn't mind if the thread were deleted.

I think this would be helpful for scenarios in particular, where you want all diplomatic options open, however want the AI to behave in a particular fashion.

Thoughts.....?

 

[Refar]

Funny idea.
I think for scenarios you can just give some Civs a initial Diplo penalty in WB.

 

[The_J]

When i see it right, in the Mod The History Of Three Kingdoms they've added more diplomatic options, including a new .xml-file, where you can add the default-values for the relations.

I have done something similar with Python in my Barbarian Alliance mod, where you are friends with the barbarians, but are hated by all the other civs (-8 diplo).

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

The ideas are limitless.

Roosevelt could hate the Japanese.

De Gaulle could hate the Germans.

Hitler could hate the Israelis. And could Ahmadinejad.

Could Washington hate the English?

Make love not hate.

Make love not hate.

I'm not very keen on the idea of Roosevelt on Tokugawa action...

However, if you're talking Catherine and Boudica...

 

[The Capo]

Damn, I must be the only one who thinks Boudica is a dog. I'd rather see Catherine and Izzy go at it.

 

[RulerOfDaPeople]

I prefer Isabella and... BOUDICA!


...or is that Boudicall?

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Izzy would rather burn Cathy on the stake on go at her!

 

[RulerOfDaPeople]

You know, going back the point of the thread, I think that would be a great idea if it could be done for a scenerio or a mod. I've often thought about that myself when playing Civ 4 games and seeing such a leader.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Chavez could hate the Americans! And so could Castro!

Would some leaders not have this trait. I couldn't picture Gandhi or Selassie really hating anybody.

Maybe it would add some tag in LeaderheadInfos like this for a Joan of Arc Leaderhead:

<FavoriteCivic>CIVIC_VASSALAGE</FavoriteCivic>
<FavoriteReligion>RELIGION_CHRISTIANITY</FavoriteReligion>
<FavoriteCiv>CIVILIZATION_ROME</FavoriteCiv>
<HatedCivic>CIVIC_REPRESENTATION</HatedCivic>
<HatedReligion>RELIGION_ISLAM</HatedReligion>
<HatedCiv>CIVILIZATION_ENGLAND</HatedCiv>

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

I think a better name would be "Shunned" instead of "hated", like in Civ III.

Why Rome?

But thats a good idea, ive thought of it before, but i dont know python or c++.
