Hi all !
How do you, modders, make for us/uk AI DDay ?
I've tried many changes but i've got a problem with this damn DDay.
So, can you show me changes or advice me for AI to DDay ?

(erf sorry for my bad english :( )

like this, the USA AI should invade Europe, right ?
 
Your max_distance is to large, that causes the AI to think to much

You are telling the AI to launch DDay from the USA which it can do but it will take a long time to reinforce the initial invasion. Tell it to invade from a UK province.

Your max_stagging_distance is to high if you want to launch the invasion from the UK and to low from the USA. It is about 150 from the USA to France and it is about 25 from Rostock to Narvik. If you want the AI to invade from the UK set it to 5.

You can look over the TRP AI files for DDay invasion for more information but your main problem are your weights. Also there is a major issue with the garrison AI for the USA which I fixed in TRP which prevents the USA AI from using all of its forces and garrisoning American to much.

Okay, thanks a lot, i'll try how you said ;)
EDIT : in the TRP, the weights are also high :confused: :

You did not follow the install instructions for TRP or are looking at the wrong file the invasion parms for USA DDay in TRP are listed below. Please make sure you are using TRP v0.92.1 as well.

It takes about 6 months for him to plan it all out. Also the garrison fix for the USA AI has to implemented right from the begining. If you do not then the USA AI keeps tons of divisions stuck defending beaches in the USA.

You are going to have to learn how to grind at it. DOing AI is not easy! It took me about 2 weeks to figure out what was wrong with the USA and in that time I put in over 100 hours easily trying to figure it out. I can share with you my experiences but in the end since it is your mod you are going to have to grind at it till you figure it out.
 
erf :(
The problem is that I don't know what is wrong on the files (i did not tried with my mod, but with TRP). Maybe is it because spain took gibraltar ?
Really, if you can just advice me, it would be great, i'll soon go back to work so those are my last free days for modding and playing. :(

Well if Spain takes Gibraltar then North Africa invasion will not happen. DDay is a seperate story depending if England is still alive.

Spain took Gibraltar but was defeated by uk in africa. So, i think that the switch "invasionitaly" fired, because the whole africa was liberated but they did not land. :(
 
Hmm...will the ai file uploaded here effective without the full mod? I don't have the means to download 50mb+ files right now...blame 56k.

Oh, and on a side note, I've seen DAIm USA invade undefended Rennes with 3 divisions :eek: . Got reaaly excited and left them taking some provinces, and then waited for a full force to hammer their way in...
but it never happened...those three infantry division are all the US can spare for D-Day... :mad:
