doh didn't go back and look at it. Well I imagine the game will scale different than HoI2 so wouldn't read much into it.Originally Posted by Lauri
They show as having 182 IC at least, maybe that's what he means?
While he's invading Malta looks like he's busy losing Cirenaica.
Believe, Ob-hey give me back my Kinder Sorpresa! Fight!
Notice, that whatever improves the German AI, also improves the SU AI.
So somewhere the superiority of the human intelligence has to come in (if you play on a difficulty level, which does not favor any side).
I think you can get some advantages by good strategic planning (trade, production, espionage, diplomacy, research), but I think not enough to turn such a scenario around if both sides fight equally well.

well, he's got 114 IC for real if I get it correct, and 182 IC effective or whatever... including boosts and possibly difficulty level
Great stuff as usual.
But King (or Johan, while you are here :-) ), here is a question for you:
Is only a theatre capable of doing combined arms operations well?
What if I gave the task of invading Malta to an army group of the same strength? Also, we learned, that creating theatres is not in direct control of the player. So is this theatre now neglecting everything else in its area of responsibility? If I gave the theatre AI two objectives, eg. invading Malta and defending Rome, would it understand the different nature of these objectives?

i probley missed the thread about this but i will ask it anyways......with this "theater" how are they set up or can i make a theater as big or as small as i want or put in the objectives
........GOD!!! august is soooo far away i cant wait to play....sounds like this AI will be a lot more fun to play, come up with new tactics to kick its ass...lol or get mine kicked.

Well, yes. I really don't think that AI could reverse the situation but I'd like to see how well it can slow down the inevitable Downfall.
If I understood and remember anything about that particular development diary, you can't create theatres or change their area of responsibilities. And if they did not change that of course. You can freely set objectives of course. That is the whole purpose.
Pretty 100% sure thats because of it being from some of King's fun longterm games where he conquers the balkans first.
1. Yes. No(?)
2. Yes.
3. No.
(AFAIK and IIRC)
I like the new way of showing fleet composition, but why do it both numerically and graphically (with those bars)? Do they show strength/org or something?

This is an interesting question and I wonder about this myself.
IF we cannot form our own theatres then I would think as a workaround we could just peel off units from our nearest theatre and (for example) ship them to North Africa to help out Commando Supremo. Because one would think the theatre boundaries are probably not set in stone.
Somewhat related question: you ship a unit from one theatre to some geographically distant locale that is not "part" of an extant area of operations. Would a new theatre get created automatically then? It would seem like the game would need to have a mechanism like this.
The funny part is my ancestors are from alsace-Lorraine and Poland on one side and wales and Russia on the other. 3 immigrant families and the welsh is from before the revolution.

We can create our own theatres.
I asked Johan about creating AI controllet "Heeresgruppe Seelöwe" in page 1. He said that it can happen. So I think that means we can create as many theatres we want to.
Ok, that would explain, why you can dedicate a whole theatre to Malta.
Here is the passage of that AI control DD:
"Now theatres are a very special animal they have wide area of operation that they will look to operate in. These are defined by the AI and as such you have no need to actually use the theatre control option. There is a map mode that shows you the current theatres the AI would use. If a player activates a theatre HQ inside a theatre zone of operation then this theatre will assume responsibility for the whole zone, you can supply it specific objectives to give to focus as well. It will request assets in the same way. You can of course have assets outside the theatre HQs control but it will ignore these when it comes to decide what it is doing. When the situation changes the theatre map will change and new theatre zones created or removed. At this point you have the option to simply split or merge the theatres according the situation or assume manual control and divide things up yourself."
As I read it now, the AI is proposing theatres, but you can overwrite. I take back my statement.
COOL *Bart Simpson*
So I propose the first rule of how to use AI control effectively:
If you want the AI to fullfill a really important task for you, create a dedicated theatre for it.
Amazing, I am truely happy that you decided to build the AI from scratch and it's paying off.

How about inter allied co-operation though, like UK/USA/CAN working together for a joint D-Day?

Load as USA and pray the others will send you expeditionary forces.How about inter allied co-operation though, like UK/USA/CAN working together for a joint D-Day?
