Default Re: Noob question about AI and diplomacy

The fun thing about it being a number is that it makes it really easy to create a script program in something simple (like basic or shell) to add some random alliances to a map just before you play. That makes for some fun surprises.

Added note:
Dom3 created a problem with this. Its one of the many places where the game has created an error condition that it does not try to handle. The game creation will error if you have references to a nation number that it not in the range of that era. So the scripts become abit more of a hassle. You must pre-decide whether you will create alliances and play the map as early, mid, or late era. So be sure to change the description to remind you to play it as that era.
