Always War & Permanent War or Peace - all against the human, or every civ for itself?

[Steven Aus]

I have one question crucial to the patch j game I am playing with Sephi's Always War AI fixes. When both "Always War" and "Permanent War or Peace" options are on, are all the AIs allied against you, or are all players at war with each other all the time (regardless whether they are AI or human controlled)? The way the Always War option is described, it seems that all the AI are allied against you - I'm just wondering if Permanent War or Peace puts them in conflict with each other, or whether its one big dogpile against the human player.

Look forward to your reply!

Best regards,
Steven.

Always War is currently broken, because the AI doesn't do anything but spam warriors if it's at war. So don't use that setting. I've never tried it, but I don't think it's all versus you... my assumption is that everyone's at war with everyone. For Permanent, I'm not really sure how the AI works with other AIs.

So that Sephi patch only works on those specific scenarios that have Always War, and not general Custom Games?

Best regards,
Steven.

no, the Patch works always but not everyone knows it.

Always War+Permanent War and Peace should cause all AI to be at war only with the human player. But you could try to open worldbuilder and set them to be at war with each other if you prefere that.

Is there a way to make all AI and human-controlled players to be at war with each other, or do both of Always War and Permanent War or Peace (whether one or both on) always cause the AI to gang up by default?

Best regards,
Steven.

I would love an option for that, but I guess this would be rather chaotic.
I always play always war in teams, when I want more civs than I could handle alone.

I have been using it in normal play and have not noticed any new problems introduced. It improves the AI even when the Always War option is not set.

Always War, AIs are allied with eachother.
