Module cai 

Writer of the campaign AI’s state (CAI_INTERFACE).

Every AI object (a mirror of a world object, a map region, an analyser…) has a component with an id from a single counter, in the order the game creates them, and AI records refer to each other by those ids. The writer first plans every id (plan::CaiPlan), then writes each list with its references.

Modules

factions

Writer of the AI’s factions (CAI_WORLD_FACTIONS), technology trees (CAI_WORLD_TECHNOLOGY_TREES) and technologies (CAI_WORLD_TECHNOLOGIES).

interface

Writer of the AI state (CAI_INTERFACE): the world mirror, the central pool of analysers, the faction managers and their AI levels, the director’s pool, the high-level pathfinder and the influence maps. Also writes the campaign director (CAMPAIGN_DIRECTOR), which refers to the director’s pool.

lists

Writer of the AI’s smaller world lists: trade route segments, international trade routes, region boundaries, provinces and the factions’ parts of them, the factions’ views of the seas, governorships and government posts.

managers

Writer of the AI faction managers (CAI_INTERFACE_MANAGERS).

map

What the campaign AI reads from the map files: the regions of map_data.esf (land regions, then seas), their areas and connections, and the high-level pathfinder nodes of hlp_data.esf.

mobiles

Writer of the AI’s characters (CAI_WORLD_CHARACTERS), mobiles (CAI_WORLD_RESOURCE_MOBILES: forces, and agents moving on their own) and units (CAI_WORLD_UNITS).

pathfinder

The AI’s high-level pathfinder graph (CAI_HIGH_LEVEL_PATHFINDER, from the map’s hlp_data.esf), and the distances between regions the AI derives from it.

plan

Component ids of every AI object, in the order the game creates them.

regions

Writer of the AI’s theatre (CAI_WORLD_THEATRES), regions (CAI_WORLD_REGIONS) and their HLCIs (CAI_WORLD_REGION_HLCIS): one region per map region (land, then seas), each split into HLCIs, the connected groups of its areas.

settlements

Writer of the AI’s settlements (CAI_WORLD_SETTLEMENTS) and building slots (CAI_WORLD_BUILDING_SLOTS: the settlements’ slots, then the horde armies’ slots).

stances

Wars and stance re-evaluation marks the AI starts with.

technologies

The technologies of each faction’s tree, in the order the game builds it.

world

Writer of the AI’s mirror of the world (CAI_WORLD), from what the AI writer works out of a campaign.

world_view

What the campaign AI mirrors of a written WORLD record: its factions, characters, forces, regions, provinces and seas, with their runtime ids, read through the record layouts.

Constants

CAI_PATH

Path of the AI state.

CAI_WORLD_PATH

Path of the AI’s mirror of the world.
