He was referring to you posting about the flag you use for Germany.

You're mean.

I like consuming bandwith.

Nomonhan,

I've been giving it some thought and I think events for China joining one of the alliances at the conclusion of the Civil War is possible but I think it should be influenced by previous events.

For instance:
The chances of joining the Allies would be increased by the Pitman Act, 14th Air Force, Lend-Lease and being picked over Berlin...conversely the opposite should reduce the chance.

Comintern, really I don't see this happening BUT it should be influenced by Operation Zet and perhaps an event where the Soviets give the Chinese everything they wanted in exchange for joining.

Axis...if Germany still exists then it would be influenced by negatives from the US and SU. So lets say Germany still exists and the US choose not to help at all and the SU is unfriendly...then it should have a strong chance of joining.

Remaining Neutral
I think this should be the 3rd most likely option after either joining the Allies or the Axis.

Also it really needs to have it's resource expansion and dividend events either boosted or a 2nd set of them implemented for post war, and I think this one should also have some infrastructure improvements as well.

Now as to the above options I also think it should be influenced by who's in charge, aka, who you selected during the KMT Leadership Crisis event...I'm still brainstorming and I'll post some more ideas as they become a bit more fleshed out

Following is a very ad hoc ai.file for scandinavia I whipped up by copying the Swedish 1936 file.
minimal changes were made to the befriend list
the biggest change has been made in the build priorities.
I'm not sure it'll work though.
It's currently sitting in the ai-directory named sca.ai, so I guess the country should pick up on it once it's released.
Anyways, you're free to use it and change it.

Crazy_Ivan80,
That's a great start but I'd say from the build percentages that it looks suitable for a German puppet concerned about defense from the Brits or Americans attempting to invade, as 31 percent of the military is for the navy. But you would NOT want to ignore carriers, battleships etc technology advances if you want to build them. Techs on the ignore list will not be researched. So I suggest either
1) take the naval techs off the ignore list or
2) assume the task of naval protection yourself and adjust the builds to more infantry and air at the expense of naval. I think I'd go for #1--naval technology should be a strong point for Scandinavia and Germany is slightly weak in that area. What do you think?

I think that it is a file a whipped up in 5 minutes as I don't know enough abut the whole thing

But yeah, you're right that I redistributed the values without really looking at the tech that are excluded. Which is -obviously- a bit stupid

Thing is that Scandinavia is a pretty powerful puppet, even more so should it own finland. It's IC is close to that of Italy I think so they probably could afford some heavier sea-firepower.
Maybe using two files depending on wether or not finland is owned by SCA might be a solution (not that I know how to do that), or redistriburng the naval-resources a bit.
So basicaly I'm agreeing

-------

as an aside: did you change something about naval invasions? (I seem to recal something about that) I tried to invade Norway with my marines but instead of landing the transports just return to port, with my soldiers :s.
I'll check out the tutorial on it though to make sure I'm not forgetting something.

----------

edit: I've put the tech that the ai will ignore on ignore. So besides the preferences it should now research everything.

I would send you an update soon.

If you need a simple good map that can show WWII und CW borders take a look here: http://www.heartsofiron.de/interaktiv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=19748

When you initiate the mission, put the slider on the far left side, ideally at 0%. That should solve your problem.

tnx, that might be it.

I remember someone mentioned a little while back that they had an issue with the AI. I now too must say that something is quiet wrong with the AI for the major states in the 1936 scenario. For example, Japan was unready for their war with China when the Marco Polo bridge incident went off and was pushed all the way up to the Korean boarder. Germany was totally off the mark as Poland steam-rolled Germany to the gates of Berlin and Bratislava, taking all of East Prussia, eastern Pomerania and Silesia before the ideal German units finally moved away from their pointless garrisoning of the Baden-Wittenberg region. The Germany's invasion of the Low-Countries never happened and France still exists. The Soviet Union on the other hand has produced well over 500 infantry units and its only the beginning 1941. It would seem as though the AI for all the countries are the blank default AI settings and aren't doing anything they historically should be doing. Is this something anyone else has experienced? Besides the icon mods I don't have any other mods installed. Is it perhaps because I still running the game on ARM 1.1? Does this mod work with DAIM and would that address the AI issues completely? To be honest I have no idea what caused this, regardless it is extremely frustrating.

ozman2 · Jun 21, 2009

The mod is designed for minimum Arma 1.2, with option to install overwrite for Arma 1.3 beta. The mod can be used with DAIM. However, DAIM overwrites the AI of either the original or any small updates I may have made. You need to contact the DAIM people for any inaccuracies their AI might be causing.
So
#1 clean install Arma 1.2 or 1.3B2
#2 CWE mod
#3 DAIM

Well, during my game I noticed Japan being strong and clever as hell (although I manged to defeat them with CHC, when they got control over "Rest-China". Just wanted to check this out, while playing with Germany, so I made an extra save game). It's now 1950 and they invaded Australia (!) and have nearly annexed it. The Americans are dumb as sh*t, as they didn't even manage to do any kind of invasion against chinese or japanese Soil at any time.
Due to a modified event I had Japan DOWing the US and making Siam a puppet manually in 1941, but obviously to no avail. As Germany I never invited them to the axis, thus have never been in War with the US. Don't know, how that might had been influential.

Crazy_Ivan80 · Jun 21, 2009

the arma vanilla ai is a fickle thing. Sometimes it seems to fail where it should succeed (like Japan vs Nat-Chi: in my game failing spectacularly), in other cases it does the opposite (last full game I played the Japanese stood on the borders of Persia, The Americans invaded both Japan and mainland china, and when the follow-up war with the soviets erupted the reds marched to Suez before allied landings in the far east and finland and ditto offensives in Europe and China pushed them back)

ozman2 · Jun 22, 2009

Actually the patch team did something fiendishly clever with the Sino-Japanese War (and quite historical, too). Communist China stacks up about 15 units in their northeastern province and that ties up about double the number of Japanese units in three surrounding provinces. Plus the AI guards all the southern beaches forcing a Japanese landing north of Shanghai where it is easier to contain. The Japanese AI can't really do anything until they get superior doctrines and infantry.
Since I incorporate some CCIP, what often happens is that the Soviets forge a new front when China falls.
The AI has to be specifically programmed for every situation, so if you as a player come up with something unusual it often has no response. Mostly the AI in my mod is vanilla, unless I happen to have written a file.

Japan cannot lean on Siam unless the Nanjing Massacre occurs.

In the next version, Japan will be able to demand the Vichy colonies if they control just Nanjing. Due to the improved Chinese AI the Japanese AI usually cannot get to Guangzhou and Hainan.
If they don't at least control Nanjing then they have no standing to demand anything. This is for the protection of China players who have noted that their "puppet" Japan got them into a war with the USA.

No demand of the colonies-->no US oil embargo-->no US-Japan war.

Thanks for your help nomonhan and everyone else. I'm in the process of installing everything all over again but with 1.3b. For now I'll stick to the 1.3b patched and CWE AI and see how that plays out. Your very much right Crazy_Ivan80, the AI is indeed quiet fickle at times. As I'm not the greatest modder and can't make heads-or-tails of the AI files it comes down to trial-and-error in game. Sadly that means that sometimes I invest hours into a game only to find out everyone is stillborn intellectually.

On another topic, nomonhan what are your future goals, events and plans for the mod? To be honest I feel bad that this is basically a one-man show. Is there anything, historical events or otherwise we could assist you with?

i believe i have found a bug in this mod. the ship assembly line technology does not seem to be activating the improved hull attachment. i'm using the latest version of the mod on armageddon 1.3 beta 2, as recommended. does anyone know of a quick fix for this problem?

i believe i have found a bug in this mod. the ship assembly line technology does not seem to be activating the improved hull attachment. i'm using the latest version of the mod on armageddon 1.3 beta 2, as recommended. does anyone know of a quick fix for this problem?

That's because the non-capital improved hull was redefined by the mod into helicopters/VTOL craft. This is a special attachment designed for the light carrier. This represents the real-life cold war path taken by the UK amongst others--make the aircraft fit the smaller carrier rather than make the carrier big enough for the aircraft (USA approach).

Mexbuild,
Sorry I'm not going to do map mods that change the provinces defined for countries. That creates too many consequential headaches in keeping up with Paradox updates. A map mod means you have to edit every single scenario, revolt.txt, etc.

Crazy_Ivan80 · Jun 23, 2009

given that you most definatly know more about modding hoi than I do I'd humbly say that you don't need my approvement

that said: SCA can use an ai file, probably even more than one to deal with barbarossa and such.
So I'd be very happy if it was put in

't would made a popular puppet all the more useful.

on another issue: so far I've got to say that my changes to the difficulties seem to work. the player has massive IC, true, but so do the others. And they seemto use it well. Already I'm quite worried about Barbarossa given that I've seen the Soviets increase their divisions with 50 units at a time in very short periods. Once the war happens... Could be iffy

ozman2 · Jun 23, 2009

Yes Barbarossa will be much tougher. I believe that is what the patch team wants. I WILL do one thing however to cut things down to size and that's to give Belgium a peacetime IC mod. In a recent test with a vastly improved German build AI it took until November 1940 to conquer France. That's because it was stuck in Belgium for 3 months. With the improved German AI build scheme I've devised, Germany can however meet the Barbarossa targets. Since ai-ai play works, I can't see putting in the surprise effects event, except for DAIM users. Just be advised that Germany play is a lot tougher.
Barbarossa will also be tougher for the Soviets.

Crazy Ivan, the only thing I did with your AI file was to resolve some logical inconsistencies. Also I tend to think Battlecruisers are a relic of the past. Nobody built the top model of the vanilla-not the USA, not the USSR, not Germany, NOBODY. Do you know what REALLY made the big ships obsolete? It wasn't the British attack on the Italian fleet at Taranto, it was the sinking of the battleship Roma by a German air to surface missile in 1943. The battleship did hang around for a while--with increased weaponry it was still used till the 80s. But the battlecruiser was obsolete in the middle of WW2. The other ships were all converted to missile cruisers.

I'm quite aware that the big surface ship were relegated to second tier or even the dustbin before and during WW2 (The sinking of the Prince of Wales, and Pearl Harbor showed that a carrier-based force was far superior to BB-based forces).
But like I said: I'm not a modder. Okay, I do know my way around with events and can mess around with other stuff but that's about it

The result of said meddling is what I posted

I've noticed though -and I believe your version of the ai-file (v3 basically) is unchanged in that regard- that SCA builds a lot of IC (not forced though) when it shouldn't. Depending on how far you're willing to take SCA (what with the sequal so close by) it might be interesting to whip up a 1941 file for SCA where it's ordered to focus on building units appropriate for fighting it's version of the Continuation war (if it owns finland) or for serving as a support force to the Germans (when it doesn't own finland).
At the same time changed naval builds could be introduced to reflect the changes in navalwarfare.
Of course the appropriate ai-switches would have to be created too. Not sure I understand how those work yet though.
However, using one of the HUN files as a guide might be useful there.

anyways, I'm not complaining

Harder Sov is good, they shouldn't be a walkover

Although it is quite frustrating, when you attack em with your German high tech toys and you seem to falter every single time you put them against those low tech sovjet divisions that only have the advantage of pure quantity.
It just doesn't make any sense. Why would 16 sovjet infantry divisions be able to hold back six "Panther" tank divisions, as well as 6-12 mechanized divisions, when being attacked from 3 provinces at the same time? And it's not even winter. I got seriously pissed during the beginning stage of Barbarossa, when I realised that the whole operation wouldn't be as easy as I intended it to be, although later victory was finally achieved.
