Infra building by AI - how? If at all?

[Gen.Schuermann]

Thread title says all, how, if at all, can i make the AI build infra (on high IC/high resource locations for example), if at all?
There is an "infra_provs" line in the save, does it suffice if i put province IDs there, or is there anything else i can do?

bah yes, but they won't build very much infra anyway, and that's something you cannot change.

well you can influence it a bit, if you raise the max_factor for constructions and lower the IC builds or any other builds at the same time in the ai files.

you cant give the ai specific province priorities, though - unless you insert the builds in the scenario .inc files.
i did this with japan (infra builds in Tokio and another province in northern japan with a lot of resources)

Could you please post how that looks like in your scenario file? I'd like to do that as well.

its in the ai files.

eg AoD/ai/ita_1936:

}
###################################
# Construction and Tech Research
###################################
#Default values
construction = {
max_factor = 0.050


AA_batteries = yes
max_AA_level = 4
AA_provs = {
515 # Roma
512 # Bologna
370 # Milan
378 # Venezia
531 # Turin
521 # Naples
368 # Genoa
}

coastal_fort = no
max_coastal_level = 3
coastal_fort_provs = { }

radar_station = no
max_radar = 5
radar_provs = { }

air_base = no
max_air_base = 2
air_base_provs = { }

naval_base = no
max_naval_base = 3
naval_base_provs = { }

land_fort = no
max_land_level = 2
fort_borders = { }

ic_at_war = yes
force_ic_until = 1935
ic_end_year = 1940
IC_provs = {
515 # Roma
512 # Bologna
370 # Milan
378 # Venezia
531 # Turin
521 # Naples
}
}

if you raise the max factor to eg 0.15 and set the ic_end year to 1935 then italy will invest 15% of its IC in builds (all builds). as ITA has not many resources it shouldnt build IC anyway IMO.
now the rest will hopefully invested in infra and if you're lucky ai chooses the right province:rofl:

seriously it works 'somehow'.

EDIT: heres a solution which works faster:

and goes to the scenario incs
