AI Popularity

previously only used for elite games, now standard for all games, it has an improved diplomacy system. He no longer stands still watching the player invade 8 nations simultaneously and wait for his turn to invade but rather simulate how another player should behave in that situation. He will call trade embargoes on you and declare war depending on how threatened he feels. To avoid these situations you have to be less warmonger, do a lot of trade on the market or declare war before attacking. He has a system of his own to judge how much he "trusts" you, trying to simulate how a player would behave seeing someone making war and his army quantity constantly increases I give a practical example but obviously the concept is important and not the numbers since the latter are placed "at random" to easily explain complex codification formulas: at the start of the game you are 100 with confidence with all nations, if you attack without declaring war it drops by -30, if you attack by declaring it drops by -15. If you amass troops it has a -1 for every 2 units, if you put a trade or buy a trade they give you +3, if you are attacked it gets a +5 of friendship and support, if it is attacked without the declaration it gets a +10; If it is below 50 the AI puts you embargoes, if it is below 40 it declares war, if it shares the transition to the AI it gives +10 if it provides the maps to the AI you get +20 etc etc. Due to the distance there is a multiplier of factors (if you are Canada, for example, Turkey does not care if it invades Cuba. But Morocco may already be interested, so the multiplier will be higher)

thanks, but what do you mean by the last sentence?

Morocco is pretty close to Cuba, so they may start getting worried and deduct more points from their trust.

giving RoW to all IA countries on day 1 will help popularity almost 20 points.

the state of the war:

People don't care after day 6, so most people forget the game for 2 days and come back to be seen as an AI.

Spiffolo- This is great information, thank you for sharing.

One question....What do you mean when you say if a country "shares the transition to the AI it gives +10%"?

Specifically, I don't know what the term "shares the transition" means....How do you "share the transition" with AI??

It means that Turkey would care less if you invade Cuba, since they are wayyyy far away.Morocco is pretty close to Cuba, so they may start getting worried and deduct more points from their trust.

If I declare war first, and attack 1 minute later, is that declared or not ?

So, what's the difference between attack with or without declaring war ?If I declare war first, and attack 1 minute later, is that declared or not ?

Do this 4 times and the AI will declare war as you will have a very low popularity.

If you declare war and attack straight after you won't get this high penalty. However with each nation that you attack your popularity will drop with about 5%.

Call of War | Popularity: "Why is the AI attacking me?" - YouTube

CoW is primarily an arcade game. Very few players last more

than a few days in any game.

The "popularity" gimmick is used as a basis

for the arcade countries to participate in an active

attack role, rather than just passively building up

units that they are not programmed to use.

Good One!

I have a question: If you declare war to a very agressive country, does your popularity goes up? In my game, I attacked Turkey (that had very low popularity and was attacking like 5 countries), and it seemed my popularity went a bit up.

It does a bit
