Introduction

This is a new addition for Rome Remastered. This file allows you to modify the different in-game personalities for building, military and diplomatic aspects and create overall personalities that can be mapped onto factions.

Overall Personality Definition Format

The personalities you assign the factions are made up of three parts:

• Building Priorities - Impact the choices made inside settlements.
• Miltary Priorities - Impact recuitment & military decisions.
• Diplomatic Priorities - Impacts the AI's aggresiveness.

These three options are then combined into an overall personality that you can then assign to a faction. This is formatted in the following manner.

personality balanced_smith
building_priority Balanced
military_priority smith
diplomatic_priority default

• personality - Give this personality combination a unique name
• building_priority - Select a personality from the existing building_priority options.
• military_priority - Select a personality from the existing military_priority options.
• diplomatic_priority - Select a personality from the existing diplomatic_priority options.

The existing personalties can be found at the bottom of the file.

There are currently 27 different personalities and the number of personalities is no longer limited as of the 2.0.4 update.
