Yes, I think this would be a good workaround if it's possible to remove the leader penalties for AI countries only.

Remove the penalty for commando leaders, all in all they were/are generals capable of leading a division/army but they could do their best at leading special forces/special missions.

Hmm, I think the reason for penalty is because they are inclined to risky actions only the special forces are prepared for.
its just the title which is misleading. "light infantry" would maybe more appropriate to describe this trait.gunman_ said:Hmm, I think the reason for penalty is because they are inclined to risky actions only the special forces are prepared for.
there should be a handfull in vanilly as well and one in USA. however with the penalty for commandos they are just useful for MTN/PAR/MAR and not tanks.Blecky said:What about leaders that have both commando and panzer skills? In Core there is at least one such leader. Right now it would seem that he can lead an ARM unit without any modifier (positive or negative), so why should I use him on such units?

that was my idea, on top you wouldnt have to remove eg the Bg_leader for SOV or GER if you play JAP and have no bg_leader. it would just work like the icons: if there is no specific one it uses vanilla, if there is one, it uses the one for that nation.Hister said:Edit: bestmajor, that would be really neat because then players wouldn't have to swap all those files when playing with different nations!
iirc it does already? eg if they reconquer PHI JAP suffers a lot?Titan79 said:Also, would it be possible to tell the US AI to strive to bomb mainland Japan - the same way it already does, with good results, against Germany - as soon as it has the chance to do that (i.e. after capturing islands in range like Tinian or Saipan)?
thats why i gave most ENG carpet bombers an additional night trait in my modTitan79 said:would it be possible to instruct some AIs (the UK one in particular) to perform strategic/industrial bombing missions mainly at night, like in real life?
Re: airforce,
would it be possible to instruct some AIs (the UK one in particular) to perform strategic/industrial bombing missions mainly at night, like in real life?
The newest update already deals with this but albeit differently.v1.08:
remove the penalty of the commando trait for other units
+1, so long as it is "mainly" and not completely. For the UK it could stick to night bombing until Germany is reduced to less then 10 interceptors or until the Royal Airforce has 20 fighters.would it be possible to instruct some AIs (the UK one in particular) to perform strategic/industrial bombing missions mainly at night, like in real life?
I don't see why you should apologise, 'vanilla' AoD should still have a challenging AI regardless of the mods out there.I apologize if it's already doable by oneself via modding - but in that case I'd like to ask which AI files need to be changed
+1 IMO it's extremely bizarre this hasn't been implemented already!Inspired by this post:
AI commands for setting the auto-trade preferences (block import/export and priorities)
Hm, if it already does, then I didn't pay too much attention. But if they're not bombing Japan when in range from some of the Pacific Islands, then they definitely should!iirc it does already [bombing mainland Japan]? eg if they reconquer PHI JAP suffers a lot?
thats why i gave most ENG carpet bombers an additional night trait in my mod
I'm glad we agree on this . There are also some German air leaders (e.g. Kammhuber) with the night-flyer trait which would prove more useful if the RAF were to behave this way.Excellent suggestion !
