Does the AI cheat?

[ShadoWarrior]

The Soviet Union tried (and failed) to send a spy to Germany on 22 June 1938, and then again 2 days later on 24 June. As a player I cannot repeat intelligence activities targeting the same country sooner than ~8 days. So how does the AI do it?

Hi,

No idea. This isn't something we've done.

IIRC the AI don't have to wait the same amount of time as a human player before doing another diplomatic action, this may very well apply to intelligence too. So, unless I'm totally mistaken, yes the AI cheats.

It's AI cheat which is already present in vanilla DD. So it's not something introduced by CORE.

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't think it was a CORE issue. I just wanted to know if the AI played by the same diplomacy rules. It doesn't really bother me as the AI needs help anyway.

Yet you asked in the CORE forum?

Vanilla AI is an irredempt cheater

ships are supplied even if their nearest bases are several thousand miles away, divisions appear wherever AI feels necessary, the streets of your capital are crowded with foreign spies, raw materials seem to flourish in areas like haiti... well, you know :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
