This is a great news :D
I can't wait for the next release of this great mod.

I agree, glad to see you back on the boards again Daywalker.

LAte,
Jester
 
I have been trying AGC's option for keeping HRE divided (and blocking Austria ) and it was great. Please, can you realize something alike (or better)?
I am tired of manually releasing vassals every hour of play changing country...:)
 
This sounds great; I just repurchased EU2 for the third time. I think I will have to hold onto it from now on.:D
 
Daywalker? Did you go and disappear again? Any news on this? Looking forward to those counter-events you've talked about. My favorite mod.

BUMP

Daywalker where are you?

Daywalker is back! :D
All hail to Daywalker



:eek:o
Oh mightiest of AI modders, any news from your brilliant mod ?
Let us know how it goes your work
 
Indeed! Still the only way I ever play EU2 since you released The Greatest AI. Any chance of you doing what you've done for EU2 to Victoria after another patch or two irons out the remaining bugs in the game? Don't know how much work it would be but surely you wouldn't need as many AI's considering the span of years is much reduced from EU2. Either way, thanks for all the work and hope more is coming soon.

Well its going great. Working hard on a new version.
I’m currently bulletproofing all events, and that requires a lot of testing.
Also viewing though EEP, AGC and AGCEEP to see what problems they have in regards to my mod.

I’m unfortunately not sure the special ‘Portuguese case’ is included in the next release. It’s growing beyond me sometimes :). It is quite large by now and I’m losing the overview from time to time :)
Flip-flopping between 15+ nations, covering all ends and making all events ‘worthwhile / real decisions’ is mind bogging. – But its gonna kick arse when it finally hits the mod!!

Please keep us posted - and if you need any assistance, you should ask about - i am sure plenty of people would love to...
 
Hummm Portuguese too early!!!!!

There cannot be too early for the Portuguese I mean the POrtuguese were there wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy before any of the other nations. There is no doubt they discoverd south America around 1475 or so australia around 1550 and so on........... Why did the Portuguese king asked for a change of the original todesillas treaty because he knew Brazil was there already. Why did he chose not too support Colombo's expedition for 1 thing because he knew Colombo had miscalculated the distances and he knew Asia was much farther by the West then because Portugal had already much more capable seaman than an appretice to a Portuguese Cartographer (yes that was Colombo's job, obviously he did not do it too well or else he would not have got it wrong). He would know he would find probably America but that wasn't a problem because the existing treaty that conceded the much disputed Canary Islands to Spain specified that any new findings in the Atlantic would be Portuguese (yes the D JoaoII was a crafty wee guy but he didn't expect the pope to favour the spanish and Portugal had to get a second rate tordesillas treaty)
Also the Portuguese were at least 50 years advance to the rest of Europe in seamnship by 1500 and that is reflected NOWHERE in the game. Please learn some real history.....
 
Can’t say I’m sure whom and what post you are responding too, but here goes my 5cents anyway.

There cannot be too early for the Portuguese I mean the POrtuguese were there wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy before any of the other nations.

‘wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy’ is quite a long time I guess. I think a ‘wayyyyy’ is a more appropriate timescale. But I agree fully and so does everybody else I think. Portugal has +60 years of un-contested exploration available in the game, so that seems ok I think.

There is no doubt they discoverd south America around 1475 or so australia around 1550 and so on........... Why did the Portuguese king asked for a change of the original todesillas treaty because he knew Brazil was there already.

1475 eh? That is possible (I doubt this early tho), does however neither translate into colonization nor further exploration for a while. It is also possible the Portuguese king (or somebody) knew of some point of land (Brazil) out west that the Spanish didn’t. And thus that’s why Portugal was highly keen on re-negotiated the treaty. That’s a plausible explanation.
Another explanation is that seeing just how far the Spanish had to sail to sigh land, the current treaty line would not offer much change that new land was on the Portuguese side, thus they pushed it just as far out as they could get it. The further out they could get the line the greater the chance of new land lying on their side, it would be.
The original treaty actually supports this view. The original treaty (1493) already included some of Brazil, far more than the Portuguese would have discovered, say in 1475. The original line is ca. 420 Km west of EITHER Azores or Cape Verde (not the Canary Islands), which brings some of Brazil in under this treaty already.
So why would one object to a treaty that already includes secret land discovered by me. I would shut my month to not awake the suspension of Spain by demanding more.
It may be noted that it is Spain that first discovers Brazil (Amerigo Vespucci), maybe suspension is exactly why this happened.

It’s a controversial issue that has been here for years, whether or not the Portuguese knew of the existence of Brazil in 1493-4.
Does not change much in game terms tho. 1490-1500 does not really matter in the game.

Why did he chose not too support Colombo's expedition for 1 thing because he knew Colombo had miscalculated the distances and he knew Asia was much farther by the West then because Portugal had already much more capable seaman than an appretice to a Portuguese Cartographer (yes that was Colombo's job, obviously he did not do it too well or else he would not have got it wrong).

I doubt that and I doubt that seriously!
I can however agree to the Portuguese seaman being a tat bit better than others. Mostly because they were supported in their quest to find new land, which others weren’t!

Btw Portugal turned down Colombo, not because he did not do his homework good (cause how would they know?), but because Bartolomeo Diaz rounded the Cape in 1488, and with the route to the East Indies, now open, Portugal had no need for Colombo and his ideas of an alternate route to the East Indies.

He would know he would find probably America but that wasn't a problem because the existing treaty that conceded the much disputed Canary Islands to Spain specified that any new findings in the Atlantic would be Portuguese (yes the D JoaoII was a crafty wee guy but he didn't expect the pope to favour the spanish and Portugal had to get a second rate tordesillas treaty)

He had not a clue about America in 1481, nobody had, at least not those making dissisions.
The 1479 ‘Treaty of Alcáçovas’ (verdified by the pope in 1481) says no such thing! The treaty essentially only gives Portugal rights to everything discovered and that will be discovered around ‘Guinea’. That this is translated / understood into all of West Africa is what it is. It certainly does not say anything about the Atlantic.
This can hardly be used to confirm that Portugal had discovered Brazil before that. I might a well use it to confirm that they discovered Central America by this time. This is simply too vague.
It is to protect you hard earned, and costly, discovers of the Africa continent. It is a way to keep the Spanish out of Africa, which had been jockeying for position and possession of colonial territories along the African coast for many years, when your hard spend money is about to bear fruit e.g. give something in return.

Also the Portuguese were at least 50 years advance to the rest of Europe in seamnship by 1500 and that is reflected NOWHERE in the game.

Well…… no!…. plain simple no. They are good but not that good!

Please learn some real history.....

:p
 
homepage is down

the homepage is down. i guess this project is dead? would be a shame, since this is a GREAT AI.
 
I like the new version DW :) I sort of had to give up on my PAI, but you've done an admirable job on the AI, better than I could have done probably ;)

Any chance that we could get Daywalker's AI optimized for the AGCEEP ? Or at least seperate the PAI and Daywalker's AI into a toggalable option ?

I would love to see Daywalker's AI working with the AGCEEP.
