Hello to G'Kar and the rest of the team!
SMEP 6.0 is well on it's way and I've been running many hands-off games with some complaints about the vanilla AI... I haven't installed DAIM or incorporated it into SMEP (yet?).
Often the USA will invade Vichy North Africa and eventually take all of it... but oftentimes the Italians will retake some Vichy territories and it will be controlled by Italy... then the USA AI seems to go limp.
But IF North Africa and Tunisia are taken and the USA invades Italy and forces Italy to surrender (remember, I'm playing with SMEP here), then the USA will rarely reinforce the peninsula and continue pushing north. Perhaps it's because Italy becomes and ally and the USA's new target should be the Italian Social Republic?
Also, I'm disappointed with the 1941 scenario's setup of the Sino-Japanese War. Every game Japan rolls over China in a few months. I've tried to rectify this by creating events that restrict Chinese technology research (namely, naval techs), giving them blueprints for many items, adjusting sliders, and, finally, giving militia and infantry a fairly significant boost to the defense statistic. It has seemed to make it so Japan cannot swallow the whole of China... but then, when China could CLEARLY start pushing the Japanese back, Chiang's army's instead sit there! It's depressing.
Are there any future versions of DAIM planned? Would the DAIM team be willing to cooperate with the SMEP team (well... me, since I'm it) to develop a totally polished and impressive gaming experience? We have all heard the compliments of how well DAIM and SMEP go together... let's make it even better!
