I don't think getting the USA to ally with the soviets is possible, unless you coup them or sth.

nuclear tech: cut and paste the nuclear technologies from the "ignore" list to the endgoal and prefered lists.

Building reactors: check the USA AI in the last DAIM release. The US is set to possess nuclear weapons by 1945, so just check their build priorities / script.

Just remember: Having nukes is not enough. You also need a delivery system (strategic bombers or -after researching miniturized fusion- rockets). As it is now, the US (and IIRC) USSR are scripted to "avoid" the relative techs, so you will also have to change that.

Personally, i believe that the soviet AI shouldn't be bothered with nuclear techs up until 1944-1945. Using research plots and spending huge amounts of IC to build reactors should wait until after german defeat (as in RL).
 
this is what i got

Code:
nuclear_reactor = yes
	max_nuclear = 10
	nuclear_reactor_prov = 243

thats reactors in Kursk i presume.

Heres the thing, all the tech are modified to difficulty ONE and double time is removed, starting year is 1936 in my game. I made a FAST mode for myself :). In 2 years everyone should have nuclear weapons. Its sort of the Cold WAR MOD.
 
I checked the ai files myself, and i believe i have found the scripts that tell the US to build reactors. IIRC, they are in the ai.switches file and called "reactorlevel1", "reactorlevel2" etc. They basically "tell" the US to start building a reactor after each tech is researched. Create a similar set of files for USSR and together with the other things you should shange in the technology lists/priorities- would finally make the reds use nukes...

DAIM isn't written for post-WW2 or other "East vs. West" scenarios.

Oh that is a shame - and having read other postings I see that there are no plans on writing DAIM ai:s for the post ww2 era :eek: I would love to see an aggressive SU for instance - as it is now SU ai basically just quit when Germany surrenders - and playing ARMA there might be like 20 years of game time left when Germany surrenders! Im in for a dull game...
