Ok, we need to take care of some things known as the basics before I get down to the nitty-gritty of heavy ai modding at this point.
1) Stop using JSGME and get an official file package that gets updated regularly to reflect changes
2) Various tasks need to be clearly identified and assigned. As near as I can tell cplhicks and I are working on the scenario basics and the AI, but is anyone else doing anything that we should know about?
3) We need to clean up the mod and reorganize it just to make things simpler to work with
4) We need to identify certain files that we are working with that are leftovers from DD:ARM and move over to the AoD files
5) Nationalist Spain is a clusterfuck. All RandallW did was swap country tags between it and Republican Spain which means that Nat'l Spain is best friends with the wrong people and so on and so forth. This needs to be fixed.
6) Nationalist Spain needs a new color. It is the same color as the Domination and a tad confusing since they sit one on top of the other and Nationalist Spain would normally have African colonies.
7) Research is way too fast (see #4)
8) Land Forts are a touch too powerful in the game
9) with 1.04 being released, ESE is done a different way and cplhicks and I are working on a solution, but until then, continent sized nations are just slow, lumbering behemoths
10) Resources need working, again, see #4. There is no reason Kiruna should have 20 metal, when in AoD it is set to 160 base metal.
11) Everyone's production AI needs some work. The USSR should be forcing IC as much as possible until 1938, but not the Domination forcing IC until 1945 and ending up with 1500 base IC
12) I think Germany should be Parochial World View and we should switch the +5% IC in it to -5% construction time for IC, or something like that... Our national ideas need some work to coincide with that timeline
13) possibly a surrender event for the Soviets and Germans before the Domination declares war so that they do not run full on into a battletested Wehrmacht and instead catch the Germans napping.
That is pretty much it for now. My ai list is much longer.
