  • Curt, did you check what Kobayashi posted in his DST thread about island warfare?

    • For what it's worth;

      GOTO commands in the event file that fire off every turn and tell Canadian units to move in a specified direction might solve this problem . . . . if you can get the AI to follow the commands.

      Likewise, making the individual units much more expensive is a possible solution as well, one that I've used often.

      As I've pointed out in several readme files, the game's "realism" disappears when the AI covers the map with wandering military units, aimlessly blundering along, doing nothing in particular. I can't think of a single historical period/situation in which precious military resources were told to just mosey about the countryside randomly.

      • The AI is the pest here...

        In other theatres, it is not a hassle, as the Germans and Russians
        (for instance) are always in battle with each other and at close-quarters.

        The isolated nature of the North American continent means that the
        AI is tempted to do the infamous ‘wandering routine’...But I wonder
        if a combo of much more expensive units and taking away the
        'expansionist' nature from the commonwealth may stop them
        building silly 'jobless units' and go straight for the enemies....

        I will make changes and see what happens!

        • Just a question, for you chaps -

          In 1940 who should own:

          Kabul,
          Tehran,
          Shiraz,
          Belgrade,
          Bucharest,
          Zagreb,

          Given that the list of civ will be the same, but with China added...

            I hope Koby does not mind, but I am tempted to borrow his transport
            ship settings to make these units surge out and do the business!

            PS
            He will be fully credited with this breakthrough, of course!

            • Kabul - neutral
              Tehran - neutral
              Shiraz - neutral
              Belgrade - neutral
              Bucharest - pro-Axis
              Zagreb - neutral

              I´d guess something like this ...

              • Sounds good, does this pass muster from everyone else?

                  • How will Yugoslavia be conquered, and thus Tito's wrath assured, if it's a neutral allied to everyone?

                    • Oh, and Curt, one more thing, as I'm sure you strive for a degree of accuracy. Starting a new game as the Japanese in v.3, I noticed you have Nara as the city in Okinawa. This should be Naha. Nara is a large city on the north coast of Honshu that was once the Imperial Capital in the feudal days. Naha is the biggest settlement in Okinawa.

                      • You are correct.

                        It will be fixed - Along with the other major changes this weekend.

                        • I assume the neutrals will be attacked by Germany and Japan, correct?

                          • I look forward to v.4. I suppose I've saddled myself with the official Japan playtester job, as no one else has mentioned playing the Civ.

                              Japan will go for the Neutrals, but Germany may need some new event to do the mischief!

                                My thanks, dude!

                                Things will be different in V4, but please play and tell me if you notice any bugs/issues cropping up!
