Aephir |
Council |
A
tough-minded AI, Aephir will prove himself a worthy opponent for those
looking for a challenge. Aephir is vociferous in his appetite for conquest
and will generally throw everything that he has into the conquest and
subjugation of his immediate neighbors. Aephir generally uses Engineers and
Archers together in small groups with great support units to his great
advantage. (Ian Klimon)

Agborus |
Council |
Agborus prefers to use as many archers as he can field.
He draws heavily on the wood resource and usually relies on a weak screen
to provide his deadly bowmen the opportunity to slaughter his enemies from
afar.

Ahikar |
Nationalist |
Beloved wife of Sebastian Atafeh, the comely Ahikar Iraj
is a fierce warrior in her own right. Ahikar wields a bow named Del'Kostan
that is said to get more accurate the more it is used in battle. Ahikar is
the last living member of the House Iraj, once one of the most powerful
Houses in the Council. Ahikar turned from the Council and joined the
Nationalist movement when her House was slain and their amulets captured
by a treacherous Ceyah Kohan. She has sworn vengeance against the Ceyah at
any cost by whatever means necessary.

Cyrus |
Nationalist |
Cyrus II, Persia: 559 - 530 B.C., believes in LOTS of

mind easily.
|
|
Darius |
Royalist |
Darius I ruled Persia from 522 to 486 B.C. |
|
Lucius |
Royalist |
His confidants know that when Lucius commits himself to
something, he considers it an irrevokable pledge to give everything he can
to make it happen. It is this trait that makes him a staunch ally and an
implacable foe. A long angry scar crossing his left eye, haunted sky-blue
eyes, and grim nature conceal a man who was once handsome and jovial and a
leading member of the Council. Lucius broke from the rest of House Ajam
and joined the Royalist cause in the Sixth Age when his wife Lydian was
killed and her amulet captured by the Ceyah. He became a tireless and
bitter foe of the Ceyah, and to this day he searches for his wife's
amulet.

and weapons on hand to fight the enemy.

Mausallas |

|
Nicomedes |
Nationalist |
Always teetering on the edge of sanity, to Nicomedes the
ends always justifies the means, and he'll use whatever elements he can

|
Sargon |
Ceyah |
Sargon II, Assyria, 721 - 705 B.C. A knight's
knight. Well, at least a jousting knight's knight. His idea of
war is a tournament on a grander scale.
|
|
Solomon |
Council |
One of the greatest generals in the history of the
Council, Solomon Ghaffar once served as Darius Javidan's right-hand man
and his military prowess is legendary. When Darius's death precipitated
the Great Cataclysm, Solomon was the first to mobilize the military for
the fight against the Ceyah. His youthful appearance belies his almost
encyclopedic knowledge of military tactics and strategy. It was Solomon
who led the search for the treacherous Vashti, and it was Solomon who led
the armies of the Council against the Ceyah throughout the Second Age. He
was slain by the bow of Melchior late in the Second Age, but his amulet
was spirited away and he was reawakened almost immediately. He has been a
tireless warrior since, tasting defeat only rarely, and influencing
generations of Mareten with his leadership and chivalry.

|
Metaephor |
Royalist |

Infantry and Grenadiers. (Ian Klimon) |

care though, because Jhaengus makes cunning use of support units behind his
Shadelings. (Ian Klimon) |

Midas |
Council |
Loyal and friendly, influenced by gold. |

AI Commands |
AI Tell Commands ("/tell" or
"/t")
Tell commands can be used to communicate instructions to your
computer-controlled AI allies. These commands that will not necessarily be
carried out, but they do influence the AI player's thinking. To use
tell commands, first select a building (if appropriate - not all tell
commands require a target building), then send the command via chat with
the following format (hit ENTER to bring up the chat box).
/tell [target player] [command] [parameter]
Target Player:
This field can be a given in a variety of formats. Either a player number,
a player color, or a player name.
1..8 = send the command to the AI playing this kingdom.
E.g. '/tell 2' is the second player (blue).
color name = send the command to the kingdom of that color.
E.g. '/tell blue'
1 = red
2 = blue
3 = green
4 = black
5 = orange
6 = purple
7 = cyan
8 = brown
player name = send the command to the given AI.
E.g. '/tell Syrad Amon'
* = send the command to all allied AIs
E.g. '/tell *'
all or a = send the command to all allied AIs
E.g. '/tell all' or '/t a'
Command [Parameter]:
There are seven different AI tell commands. Building commands (attack and
defend) can also be used by selecting a building first, then issuing the
command.
attack [building] = request the AI send forces to attack this building
E.g. '/tell black attack Garland' or
'/tell black attack' after selecting Garland
defend [building] = request the AI send forces to defend this building
E.g. '/tell Darius defend' after selecting Cleardale
cancel [building] = request the AI cancel all tell commands
E.g. '/tell a cancel' after selecting a building
list = request a list of active tell commands
E.g. '/tell 2 list'
reset = clear all previous attack/defend commands
E.g. '/tell 2 reset'
report = request an economy report from the AI
tribute [amount] = request the AI give you the specified amount of gold.
E.g. '/tell green tribute 50' This does not work in campaign play, and the
AI must be doing well financially to agree.
Abbreviated commands:
Instead of 'attack/defend/cancel/list/report/tribute/reset' you can use
'a/d/c/l/r/t/rst'.
E.g. "/t 2 a" tells player 2 to attack the selected building.
"/t * r" tells all AI allies to report their economy. |
