Scandinavia wasting IC

[unmerged(202231)]

It's 1941, I'm germany and I've created Scandinavia as my puppet. They have 97 IC, but they're wasting the lion's share of it--they have 60 IC allocated to 15 IC's worth of production, just 3 infantry units.

I've loaded up some other countries on the same save and none of them have this problem that I know of.

I can confirm this, I have a similar situation with Scandinavia in my game with 1.06b2

I think that is fine and balanced. Micro state (no offense) like Scandinavia shouldn't be able to build dozens of divisions.

Scandinavia, encompassing Norway, Denmark and Sweden is not really a micro state. Granted, they are not a superpower but I am sure they should be capable of fielding a reasonable army. In any case the problem is that they are simply wasting the IC that they have got.

After seeing this same problem with ahistorical puppets like Ukraine, Ottoman Empire, and Russia, my theory is that manpower is the root cause. All of them have less than 10 manpower at any given time; so, while, they're wasting a lot of IC, they are making use of their manpower.

They could, however, build air divisions even with their low MP, and I have yet to see them build any (or any naval units).

Also, instead of putting the extra IC into supplies or consumer goods, they just put the extra into production, so that there's, say, 40 IC of production dedicated for 20 IC of units. So there is definitely an element of AI stupidity going on.

The problem is that all those puppet states have a generic building AI that just makes them spam INF and pretty much nothing else. You could solve that by modifying the building AI txt files.

It sounds like the only puppets that will work correctly, then, are historical nations; am I right? If I annexed France and later released it as a puppet, would it have the same AI as the original France or a new puppet AI?
