Take a break. Come back in a month or two. The AI will be improved. Version 1.10 of WIA made the game work. WON is is version 1.02. You like WIA, yet it took 10 releases to get it likable. You'll like WON. It's going to take a few more versions.

I thought I had the AI cowered on that. When I removed some of the restrictions for building depots, the AI went nuts. I put something in to tell the AI not to build them. Looks like that isn't working.

I'm not sure I want to support two things. I'm considering it.

vicberg

Not sure. I just saw Affinity in the AI.LOG, so it's doing *something*. I'll need to play test a bit, when I have time, in order to know the full affects. 11:59:40 AM (Reporting) _CLD_ Leader Affinity 1002651 Francis de Rottenburg Raw Affinity for 1010091 Valetta Garrison 30 Family Affinity: 112 Fin...

So now, I'll bring down the 1.02 patch and integrate and then post a new mod.

vicberg

Ok, I have AI Affinity in place and from the AI.LOG, it looks like its working.

vicberg

Kev_uk, I was playing with the 24 March and then April 11 patches so am familiar with some recent improvements. However a smarter AI wasn't one of those improvements. You may think the Athena Ignorance is worth playing against but I want more of a real strategic challenge that it can't provide. Per...

You should be mostly fine on your games. Don't stress.

It would be interesting to see what could be done... ...but let me be a devils advocate again, with a specific example. Playing the Long Campaign, and it's now 1810: What direction should we give to Prussia? What is the situation? What possible situations do we need to script for???? Multiply by 7 ...

This .ini isn't in the Alias folder. Now the question I have, can an AI_Interest.ini be placed into the Alias directory, affinities added to leaders (which I can do via program quite quickly) and it will auto-magically work, or do I need to regenerate the scenario?

And this is what I was looking for. I was actually going down the path of destroying and recreating units under specific leaders. YAY

2nd Week of January, 1806 As we prepare for the oncoming campaign season, here's the perperations for Prussia. 3 Corp for the North, plus Nappy and Murat. All standard "french" corp of 3 infantry divs and 1 cavalry div. [ATTACH]38613[/ATTACH] 3 Corp for Saxony/Southern Prussia. 1 Corp of these corp ...

Oops....

1 corp could easily lose to Sicily alone. They have a tough corp with a decent leader.

vicberg

Spain giving into GB isn't a smart idea. Check victory points. GB gets more and their victory point generators are overseas where they can't be touched. Whereas France will need to defend from virtually everyone at some point. GB will win.

vicberg

What goodies do you get for an invasion? I would still keep more in France always, just in case, it is not like France cant raise divisions if it just gets the money from winning. All powers get some degree of goodies. France gets a LOT. New Force pool additions, new RGD cards, more money/conscript...

vicberg

True. I see the Spanish and French navies as gloried escorts or OMB warfare units. Not much else. Spain can do a lot in the med by invading Algeria, etc...Turkey the same. A large British presence can stop that, but the invasions can be done with limited transports and escorts. I lost my entire nort...

vicberg

Still can do it. Keep 1 Corp around Paris. If Britain invades with more than a corp you get all sorts of goodies. 2 corp in Austria. Remaining 4 corp, plus Nappy and Murat are more than enough for Prussia.

vicberg

Not withe GB factional modifiers and Admirals. Trust me. They don't matter. They won't hold a single region. They won't win a single battle.

Play France as SP

vicberg

The navies don't matter. GB has such dominance over the seas. All other powers combined make up 10% of the British fleet

Aurelin wrote:Thanks!!

I'm considering doing the Wien/Buda thing. Or destroy Prussia.

Decisions, decisions....

What year? You only need 2 corp to hold Austria at bay. The rest can smash Prussia.

vicberg

PBEM is where this game truly lies. The AI just isn't up to the task in a true 7 power game like this.

vicberg

Spain and France are allied at start. It's a gamey move that needs to be fixed. Now, so I don't start another thread. :) Austria is degrading relations with Bavaria, which is a French ally. So..... What happens I have to declare war to support the ally. We have a three year peace. I have free passa...

vicberg

Sure but why surrender? Because they planned it! Britain DOWs and invades Spain, enabling Spain to enact army reforms and Spain surrenders without a fight. I removed this in my mod and made Spain just like Austria/Prussia/Russia. Requires 1000 EP to enact army reforms. I also removed the 1810 date ...

vicberg

When someone invades Spain, that enables Army Reform. In base game, it's the only way.

I've removed the restriction. Going with VP loss only. By Eastern, I meant Virginia and Maryland

vicberg

I'll take a look.

Since I'm going to beta this with Tyler. I'd like a lesson in CSA capabilities in base game. I need to see what they are capable of in capable hands. You up for it? Email is vicberg@comcast.net.

vicberg

Granite, I'll say this again that expert CSA play can offset CSA limitations. However, what does it take to become an expert? Playing it PBEM or vs. AI 20-30 times, minimum, so that you become aware of every facet of the game, every event, every build, everywhere freebies are coming in, every defens...
