Is it possible to create theatre AIs as situation requires? For example as Japan I want to invade the US, I will need a new theatre there, right?
But would that work satisfactory, having only air units in a theatre? The AI won't know what foolish things I'm planning after all. I guess letting the AI take care of defence after finished invasion would be easier for it. I absolutely suck at air force handling though, so I hope I can let the AI take care of it competently.
If this works as advertised it is going to make for a great gameplay experience. Not only when it comes to controlling ones own forces, but more importantly when it come to the behaviour of the AI. No more AI dumping units on beaches just because it can. This will be so much more interesting.
I'm curious about one thing however. Say I have a naval task force assigned to the UK theatre, but under manual control, and I start moving it around the North Sea. Will fighter units, assigned to the same theatre and under AI control, protect the navy units or must the ships be under AI control as well?
For the AI theatre, the naval forces will be consider as brigades, as air units integrated in a AI command structure ?
Youhoo ! *Mr. Simpson*
Yes
At last, strategy gaming has a God, and they called him Johan.
Absolutely awesome news.
One little question will this also mean allies will carryout combined operations? Will the AI be able to create a multi nation theatre?

No idea to be honest. At the moment we are focussing on getting combined arms cooperation better.
The best improvement in Hoi3 over Hoi2 - forget 15 000 provinces, customizable divisions, decisions, advanced politics and intelligence without micro-management hell - forget it all, for the AI is the best improvement
This is my question as well because the allies will be a lot worse at defeating Germany if they aren't capable of cooperating.
Looks great though.
any Informations how invasions work?
It was too annoying in HOI2, when you can just ship around with troops to see the best landing province and then unload some troops here and there, just to decide the destination while at enemy shores.

This looks great! This game is gonna rule strategy gaming
I would, however, also like to know how an invasion by multiple countries will work...

That will be the question. Also if you base US troops in England for Overlord do they stay under American control or do you have to give them to England?

¡Ay, caramba! *Bartholomew JoJo "Bart" Simpson*
Now seriously, that new AI concept is one of the best ideas.
Now the games with the US will not just be possible, but also and great fun.

One country will do the invasion, the others provide expeditionary forces.
That's what Johan said at some point, if I remember correctly.
