@runswithbears3517 3 года назад

One pretty useful trick I only learned recently, is that when breaking an agreement (like an alliance) or declaring war, you can actually compensate the other party to avoid a reputation loss. For example, if you break a trade agreement through the diplomacy screen the game will probably tell you the other party does not like this deal. If you break the agreement but also compensate them (until the deal is rated "Balanced" or higher), you will not suffer a loss in relations nor will you suffer reputation penalty for breaking an agreement.

@ToNerdistoHumanTNH 3 года назад

Great point. I never really thought of it in those terms but yeah I suppose if the deal overall is fair then you are still being a reputable kingdom.

In my latest Scotland campaign i pushed angles s of isles by turn 12, only occupied cities and ransomed troops, next turn i signed peace with them and started peacefully expanding into rebel towns, 10 turns later i am at war with France, England, HRE, Portugal and Denmark keeps landing troops near Nottingham and loading them back, but wouldn't attack, all of this wars were declared in span of 2 turns and i had 2 cities sieged by 0.5-0.6 stacks whole the garrison was like 1 squad and almost full stack sitting on doorstep of London

@RossoNero1987 2 года назад

As England I had alliance with Scotland, Denmark, France Germany, Spain and Portugal. Just in case so I could expand on rebel cities. I attacked Scotland before so they don't grow strong but pope dude warned me of the curse. 20 turns later Scotland attacked me... And Germany in the same turn. Two turns later France also attacked me, so I destroyed Scotland, kicked France ass and scared Germany, now i'm in peace with them :D

@danielgally6389 2 года назад

There is a trigger referred to as 'BandTogethor' which allows for smaller factions to increase relation. When in combination with 'Tall_Poppy', used to automate hatred to large factions, Med2 might look comparable to a paradox title in aggressive expansion.

I feel similar… however, looking on the bright side, it helps provoke war - which is what the game is about, no? Also, I reckon when factions trespass on my land, it’s them telegraphing that they’ll attack me in the future… so I appreciate it as a hint to prep for war against them.

@kevinhernandezretana2170 2 года назад

@@SimonAshworthWood But when you do a pre-emptive attack YOU get punished for it by the pope due to the dumb relationship mechanic in this game. The A.I plays the "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you" game and you end up in a lose-lose situation: You attack first, everyone hates you now. You do nothing, they get an upper hand moving more forces in. Glad Total War improved the relationship/trespassing mechanic later on

Honestly, once Ive got some eco going, I spam forts with a town and archer militia each on important borders if I dont wanna pull up with random surprise betrayal bs.

@wololoman3314 3 года назад

I played as England as always got backstabbed by the whole Christindome. At first I tried to get an alliance but after few round they all started to gang up on me and the pope threaten to excommunicated me for defending myself. Portugal always invade my country by sea and after I repel them. They send a diplomat for ceasefire and requested I pay 13k of gold for reparation. I've been more war with a Christian country than a Muslim. I started my war at turn 12 and now I'm at 174 struggling to survive because I keep getting backstabbed.

@ToNerdistoHumanTNH 3 года назад

I was looking to do a video exploring the pope mechanics. You can get away with attacking them inside your territory and it won't badly affect the pope's relationship with you but if you counter attack into their territory then the pope won't care who started it!

@ToNerdistoHumanTNH 3 года назад

And backstabbing in Med II is a constant menace. This diplomacy fix helps a bit if you do go around occupying... Still, once you get to number 1 in the end of turn report stats they will all turn on you no matter what your reputation. Same if you are too near the bottom. Try to be unremarkable! 😂

@landsman420 4 года назад

Does this only work on the Steam version? I have an old CD version of Medieval 2 and didn't have a faction_standing file in my data folder. I created one and added the altered content but I'm not sure if my old game version recognizes this folder or if it only exists in the steam version of the game Any clues?

@ToNerdistoHumanTNH 4 года назад

A good question. You should be able to use the code on the back of the booklet to play via steam. I haven't used the cd version for years so I must say I don't know what differences there are. In rome, the file is in its own folder called 'preferences', but other than that uggestion I'm not sure!

Why would taking a city increase your global standing? It would make people see you as a warmonger and threat to world peace, and more of a threat because you’re more powerful.

@wafflingmean4477 3 года назад

Haven't tested it for myself yet but this would honestly be so amazing. Everyone on the entire damn planet wants to kill me. Even if I have someone down to their final city and I offer them literally everything if they just stop fucking attacking me, they refuse to give in. I know it's called Total War but I enjoy building my empire. And war was incredibly expensive. Constant full scale invasions all year every year from everyone ganging up on me really breaks the immersion. No one is going to do that unless they are an insanely powerful empire in comparison to their neighbours. Two even sides going at it indefinitely is not feasible.

@ToNerdistoHumanTNH 3 года назад

Indeed! Even with this tweak you have to play in a precise way to manage diplomacy but it is far more doable. Usually when the AI declares war if you brutalise them in a 1 or 2 battles and sue for peace next turn then they give you silly money. But take one of their cities and usually it is just a forever war... Total War it is...

@wafflingmean4477 3 года назад

@@ToNerdistoHumanTNH Yeah I've been playing with the bug fixed for most of the week and it's so good. Getting alliances is much easier as well. Everyone kept attacking me, which was reducing my papal standing when I fought back, and then I negotiated an alliance with the Papal States, who are protecting my southern border. And now anyone who attacks me starts to lose their standing. The Hungarians got excommunicated for it and then I took almost all of their lands.

@ToNerdistoHumanTNH 4 года назад

It does indeed work on Kingdoms. If my Kalmar campaign is anything to go by then alliances will stand happily pretty much until you're ranked number 1. Only then will they start to stab you in the back.

@blasty137 Год назад

I always hated diplomacy in Total War games, they're basically programmed so that everyone attacks you as soon as you get in touch with them. The worst of all is that a functional diplomacy system is extremely easy to make. I'm currently playing as the Byzantines, I wanted to play nice, no sacking/exterminating, no breaking treaties, maintain high reliability, etc. And everyone still kept attacking me. 50 turns into the game there were 10 wars going on, and I was involved in 7 of them despite never actually attacking anyone. So then I said fuck this shit, went full Mongol on everyone and I'm already down to 4 wars. Once I played as Scotland, conquered the British Isles and just wanted to develop my cities and economy in peace without further expansion. But Denmark, Spain and freaking Portugal kept landing and attacking me all the time.

@LateRoundLegends 2 года назад

In case you were wondering, it does not seem to be fixed for the mobile version of the game 🙄

@Cloud43001 2 года назад

One good way i found was reputation, its a bit of a pain to let go of some man, but when you release men and get an immaculate reputation I find it way easier to get peace or to stay at peace, also a large army on the frontlines also helps to keep the enemy at bay the Ai only attacks when it thinks it can win.

@countmrvhs776 3 года назад

Awesome, I'll have to get around to trying this :) As a much more frequent player of RTW, I'm very curious about the relationship between these 2 games in terms of diplomacy. There is no diplomacy file in RTW, and therefore no way to peek under the hood to figure how the AI makes its decisions. However, I've long suspected that M2 uses the same basic system of RTW, but with more transparency (i.e., the game actually tells you how the AI evaluates its offers, and shows you your standing and relationships, none of which is given in RTW). I have no idea, therefore, if Occupying, Enslaving, or Exterminating cities in RTW affects diplomatic standing or relationships... which would be nice to know!

@ToNerdistoHumanTNH 3 года назад

I would assume its very similar as the game engine is the same. Perhaps in Med II it is simply a little more transparent than in Rome. I think there are more triggers to help your relationships too but that is just a guess. Yeah I have wanted to do a video on Rome's occupy, enslave exterminate options but I would want to have a better idea of the relationship impacts caused by it. I suspect it doesn't change things and that's why it was emphasised more in medieval II.

There’s nothing wrong with the game there’s something wrong with you. Send a diplomats out give the various countries money gifts of 100 and slowly bring your tribute to them from 50 for five times to 100 for 20 turns to 200 for 20 times if you’re dealing with the HRE. Then when your relationship is better than Soso continually station a diplomat they’re making sure you have at least 100 gold and initiate deals with them telling them who you were going to attack do this every turn and you’ll get money and their trust just make sure you complete the attacks. Also do not sac or exterminate European cities do not kill captured generals do not use your assassins foolishlyGeneral don’t be a douche bag

I guess they just forgot to add those at the start because as you said, they probably didn't want that trigger to be active. did you find out about this yourself just going through the files and modding ? also, how can I prevent the desertion on crusades and jihads and why is it so extreme ? (%80 of army runs away before reaching destination)

I cant seem to find a _descr_factions_standing_ in the "M2TW Total Vanilla Beyond" mod. It's in the base-game's files, though. Is there any way to use that diplomacy fix in the mod? Does editing the one in the base files make it compatible for all of the Kingdoms expansions *and* the mod, since they're all located in the "mods" folder?

@sauromatae9728 3 года назад

if mod has no file in its folder, it uses the same file from the base game as a placeholder. so yeah, either create new file or edit file in the base game.

Reinstalled the Game recently and started a Campaign, this seems to be working, I made a few more changes though to some other areas reducing some penalties. Some 60 turns in (playing at 2 turns per year) relations are good and steady without wondering why they are constantly getting worse.

It doesnt work for already created games?

@dman1988 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video, man! I fixed this bug as well as passive ai bug. The game feels different, you can play with diplomacy, make strong alliances, etc. It's great, cause it became more of a strategy than just conquering the Word. Stil, I think the amount of positive effect from occupying a city is probablys too big. I would make it +0,25 for occupy instead of +0,5. Cause you need just 3-4 occupied cities to significantly improve your reputation, which change the whole course of the campaign dramatically. I'm playing as France now and with perfect reputation and strong army almost everyone turns to be my vassal after 2-3 fight wins, I don't even need to besiege their capital, etc. I made almost the whole Europe my vassals on vh/vh by turn 60 or so.

@Vinzu1496 4 месяца назад

Its not bug - its how its supposed to be. If you grow to big other factions are seeing you as threat and attack you. And anyway M2TW is so easy that making it even easier is nonsense

@LlywellynOBrien 3 месяца назад

I don't think so, they would have scaled that or had the value much lower. This literally triggers code left under the 'razed' setting, it is clearly a bug.

@MrStaridever28 7 месяцев назад

Mate, just one question. With this fix, does this affects AI aggressivness towards player? If my reputation and global standing is good, will AI attack me every 3 turns like a horde of zombies? Or it is just more likely for AI to offer you ceasefire and accept one from you? Thank you, all the best!

Can you add the semicolons to occupying and extermination too?

@ToNerdistoHumanTNH 3 года назад

Yeah absolutely. Haven't tested how that impacts gameplay but it would stop those lines being read by the game, yes.

@Vaessen13 Год назад

I understand that VH is meant to be hard, but why wouldn't all diplacy revert to 0.0? It seems like a bad or unrealistic mechanic to always have other factions hate you. IMO all diplomacy should pull towards 0.0 and all changes depend on your actions. The game should be hard on the campaign map and I just think diplomacy should be fair across all difficulties.

I'm In a HRE game, tur 60. I allied with Milan and Hungary at the start and declared not a single war.... Milan turned on me right away and turned the other Italian States on to me.

I fougth back against the Hungarians just for Sicily to drop in with a boat and conquer my castle while Milan randomly attacked my capital.... I lost everything but two cities in greece (that were still under siege) this coordinated attack took down 7 of my cities in 5 turns but I managed to take back some some land and im about to destroy the byzantine and set my revenge on Milan once things are stable but I'm making peace bc I got reck so good damn fast but I got a revenge arc going on so that cool

@OkstadOo Год назад

Ok, I have a lengthy question, hope you find the time to answer. I have known about this glitch for a decade, and I always remember to implement it. However downloaded a fresh install the other day to play some vanilla and fixed the pikes before launching. Of course, after taking one settlement I remembered to go fix diplo aswell. In my experience this can be done mid playthrough. IIRC if you don't fix your file, the global rep will never improve beyond mixed. Now I have a turn 79 save. I'm at war with 8 factions they alle started, some of them allies with good relations. No one will take vassaldom, not even England, whom I offered three settlements. No one will take a ceasefire. The pope refused my alliance with perfect relations. I HAVE IMMACULATE REP for the first time ever. 1.0. Maxed. Everyone treats me exactly the same as any with despicable rep. No one will take any deal, no matter what. Why? Is this hardcoded in my save file, since I changed it after starting? That can't be the case since my global rep has actually changed, right?

Was diplomacy fixed in the disk version? It seems to me i remember taking everything even on very hard. I don't remember it ever being this hard though. Playing as Russia (for the first time) I'm at war with every neighbor and some of the neighbor's neighbors. I have hardly gotten any trade income all game. Without trade income i can barely keep enough troops made to fend off the deluge of attacks even with the occasional save scum.
