-Destroying the frontier outpost you demanded in the Cede Frontier Outpost during the war could get you stuck in an endless war until one side decides to surrender.

Any feedback is welcome.

Ai use it?

If that works and the AI uses them it is a huge improvement. Hard to believe the player and normal AI has only two possible war goals. We really need a lot more. I used to complain about Distant Worlds' lack of a robust diplomacy and thought "I wish Paradox did something like this, it would be so much better!" How wrong I was. I hope in time this will all be improved.

 

[Ventessel]

This certainly looks interesting. Hopefully the non-Fallen Empires will use it correctly.

I haven't had the chance to run through a singleplayer game enough to test it but will be doing so tomorrow. I've added weights to hopefully make the AI more likely to use it depending on ethics and such.

Like it

 

[TravisNJ]

it IS always 60%, and this is brilliant, people should have access to the options anyway, why the hell would they lock them out.

 

[TravisNJ]

Is there a possibility, to better scale the planet values when compared to the size of an empire?

 

[8igualdos0s]

Great idea!

 

[mastec]

After running a couple games today it seems the AI will use the Humiliate, Cede Frontier Outpost, and Abandon Planet demands but not the Abolish demands. This probably has something to do with how the AI handles slavery and purging. But that doesn't stop them from being used by players in MP games which is what I originally intended this to be used in.

Any feedback is welcome as I think the Abandon Planet and Cede Frontier Outpost costs might need a slight reduction.

Humiliate cost seems a bit high.

 

[Anonymous@98]

I agree with OP, cede outpost cost definetly needs a reduction, perhaps scale the cost the same for abandon planet and cede frontier outpost as cede planet, but reduce the base warscore cost of frontier outpost significantly, IMO, it shoulded be twice the base cost of cede planet.

Humiliate cost seems a bit high.

I've lowered the cost on this but I didn't want it to be used to heavily along with any of the cede or liberate options.

I've lowered the cede and abandon costs to be closer to the cede planet goal.

Anymore feedback is welcome.

Looks like PDox is going to do this themselves in the upcoming patches, good work motivating them

 

[mastec]

I've added a Demand Tribute demand as well as edited the weights of the abolish demands to make them more likely to be used against players who are slaving/purging.
