About the Automanage IC distribution AI...

[Limith]

So I was doing a semi-hands off test in my CG mod to determine a good balance for IC costs (1 IC is worth much more in my mod to allow minors/rebels to actually build something) and minimize IC spamming when I noticed the auto IC allotment was doing something weird:

Is there any way to get the ai to produce enough IC to not have dissent skyrocket? Ideally, the basegame automanage ai logic should try to produce enough to manage dissent, I don't want my ai countries to have sky high dissent.

You will find in difficulty.csv that the AI gets a bonus to various things, like dissent.

I want the ai to allocate more toward consumer goods, not get a cheat that nullifies dissent, which I actually want to have an impact on all difficulty levels in the mod since dissent and nationalism is a core foundation of the Code Geass anime.... -.-'

There's something I don't understand. The AI is allocating 9.25 IC to CG and the needed value is 7.71. If allocated IC on CG > needed IC on CG then dissent should go down, not up. What did you change? I don't think this is what you wanted.

Afaik, Authoritarian government policy (in my mod) gives a flat + dissent modifier, so an authoritarian government needs to produce more cg than the minimum (I don't remember which modifier does this, I just made all the dissent ones in policy.csv be positive values). It's inline with the Code Geass universe (and yes, there are benefits to being authoritarian). I'm assuming the ai just checks to see allocated>"need", instead of checking for change in dissent <= 0. If this is the case, I don't understand why there even is a modifier for daily dissent in slider/policy effects since only the consumer good need is usable. Is this a bug? WAD? Or are there workarounds?

Alternatively, it could be one of the new minister types I created but I doubt that....

I'll let Martin answer this.

This slider is controlled by CG needs. It seems to me you have reversed a modifier or did something else that is not supported by the engine.

Good to know. I'll add remove dissent modifiers and replace with cg need modifiers to my todo list. Thanks Martin.
