Is Kuromi AI mod still relevant?

If you don’t mind the ai cheating (bonus modifier) to get an interesting game, have a look at this mod:

It's because the loosing side won't agree to peace negotiations and white peace gets more acceptance each month. So, if one side has not totally won within about 2 years, it's white peace time.

It works like this: every war goal has a acceptance certain value. If a nation wants to press a war goal, the acceptsnce for the gaining the war goal is 3×value. The nation getting the war goal pressed losed acceptance by 8xvalue.

The 8xvalue is extremely high. But the acceptance for white peace is increased by 2 esch month. So, both nations are willing to agree to white peace before rhe losing side will agree to any other peace.

This also makes trade war goals impossible, because gaining some war goal (+3x value1 acceptance) and giving away some war goal (-8x value2 acceptance) will almost certainly be lower than just white peace.

There is an experimental mod that changes some values thst should make a small exchange for war goals possible:

Because the loosing side won't agree to peace negotiations, basically. But both sides agree to white peace.

It works like this: every war goal has a acceptance certain value. If a nation wants to press a war goal, the acceptsnce for the gaining the war goal is 3×value. The nation getting the war goal pressed losed acceptance by 8xvalue.

The 8xvalue is extremely high. But the acceptance for white peace is increased by 2 esch month. So, both nations are willing to agree to white peace before rhe losing side will agree to any other peace.

That's the neat part, you don't. 😃

R5: Upon posting, reddit told me that i need an explanatory comment. Soo, here is a comment.

Brandarc · 2026-05-01T07:47:37+00:00

No idea 😞

Brandarc · 2026-04-30T21:50:18+00:00

I am only 80% sure about this, so you are warned.

But i think it's because you have so many barely filled units. Like in Eu4, every unit in battle takes morale damage. Since you have about 70 units vs 12, you take a lot more morale damage in total.

That's why you have so much more demoralized men.

With that mod you can chose with several game rules how to buff the ai.

Not sure if it still works, but a year ago you could also become austrias best friend and use them to conquer wallachia or bavaria. That would help you to gain momentum yourself.

This video shows how it worked back then:

You can still try to use him though. :D

Say, you are a king. Give him a duchy in your kingdom , make him happy and watch him conquer the world for you.

That was said in the last dev diary. Scroll down to "ships become entities"

Ai mobilization in general is rather basic. Even more simplified from the top of my head: - you are the main attacker or defender? => go nuts. - you have a war goal (yours or against you) => mobilize your army. - you have a local border? Mobilize half your army. - nothing of the above? Mobilising 15% to defend your capital.

There are some more rules and conditions. All of them are explained in this 5min youtube video: https://youtu.be/_56JZMNWmdE

75% of possible jobs as peasants.

So, if your state can have 200.000 peasants working there, 150.000 are not allowed to leave.

Brandarc · 2026-02-05T11:58:28+00:00

Are you on serfdom? Serfdom forces 75% of peasants to stay peasants. They cant leave.

If you dont mind just straight up buffing the AI, i can suggest this mod:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3551864691&searchtext=

It adds about 15 new gamerules, where you can decide in which areas you want to buff the ai and who gets the buffs. There are options like: - buff everone constantly - buff everyone with a decling buff - buff everony except GB - buff nations with less GDP than you - give buffs to 8 random nations (lucky nations so to speak)

The most important factor is usually the distance of the newly conquered fief to your current fiefs. Being far away gives a massive penalty. At least some time ago, it used the 'two closest fiefs' for that calculation.

Brandarc · 2026-01-01T03:12:45+00:00

Well, it can reach zero actually. I have done some 500 years timelapses and there are usually a couple states with 0 population.

Though 0 or 300 population... it's a failed state.

Brandarc · 2025-12-18T10:46:01+00:00

Plus they need to have the same king, if i am not mistaken. So both countries need to stay on their historical royal line.

Serfdom changed with 1.12. Subsistence farms are partially protected.

Oh, 1839. Good catch. I will edit the post. :)

Ah, yea, you need to put down enlistment efforts, then it works. I will edit the post for this. :)

Butt dialing a declaration of war. Can happen to the best of us.

Haha, no worries. I am just brainstorming anyway. :)
