Hi all.
I already searched, but couldn't find anything about it...
I am looking for a possibility to change the effects of threatening other empires.

I demand something (e.g. their map), they refuse and then I threaten to declare war. Ok, I recieve the map, but it's really silly to declare war on a friend or ally only to recieve their map...

But the point is, there was NO loss of regard... And this last point I want to change. There MUST be always a negative effect!!
Now i'm looking for the file to manipulate this effect, but can't find it...

Any suggestions? Thx a lot!!

Best Greetingx !!

I think what you are looking for is found here:

\Activision\Call To Power 2\ctp2_data\default\aidata

open the file called "diplomacy"

You should add a slic event that triggers when a threat is made. That slic event can then call LogRegardEvent to decrease regard (see the AI Slic documentation). Although regard is not currently lost, you'll notice a substantial drop in trust when threats are made. If you are not trusted, then threats no longer have any force.

Hope this helps,

Azmel,

The AI Slic documentation for Strategy and Diplomacy is inadequate. I couldn't figure out the parameters to lots of functions mentioned in it.
