AI aggressiveness

[makif130289]

Does it actually affect anything ?

 

[^_AC_^]

AI DoW chance IIRC.

Is there a way to stop french keep attacking me through maginot line? They are doing it even if They take double the loss.

 

[parnis]

I would have thought turning down the AI aggressiveness would help that, TK3600. And anyway, it is what the French should have done.

 

[Proscribo]

Yeah that's really one of the few things AI does much better than what really happened.

 

[Limith]

Ai aggressiveness affects how aggressive the AI is besides just DoW. It affects battles as well. Imo, after testing, setting aggressiveness to very aggressive ends in the hardest AI as it isn't passive.

 

[TK3600]

Why would they attack me when they can't take ground, and take double the loss.

I think that's the same question people were asking themselves during - and shortly after - the Great War.

The AI probably "thinks" it actually has a chance to break through but then the loss becomes unacceptable for it. How many divisions do you keep on the German-French border?

15 divisions in each of the border provinces is enough. Almost all of them are garrisons in my games. Those garrisons are then used to guard French coastline and Norway.

I can do with nine infantry divs per province. France hardly ever commits to an assault on my lines until I waltz through Belgium, at which point they do figure it can't go much worse than sitting it out.

That's exactly why i am so cautious about it. I lost valuable garrisons there several times while invading from the North. As Germany, every division is extremely valuable.

I keep 25 div in Saar, 18 in the middle one, 15 in the lower one. They kept attacking Saar. They pile up 56 div beside their upper prov, 26 in middle, 22 in lower. They just wont stop. T~T

Holy crap. I can't imagine what would cause France to heap up those many units, unless they happened to have full war capability. Is there the possibility that the Allies have been at war with some kind of seceded colonial revolter for aeons, by any chance? Failing that, are there any nations in the Allies that shouldn't be allied with them, normally?

France seems to have a constant problem in Africa. England tends to see Palestinean revolts but those are crushed relatively swiftly.

That's pretty aggressive stance from French AI. In my games, they mostly keep slighly more troops than my Siegfried garrisons. When i blitz through Belgium and the Netherlands, they sometimes try to capture Saarbrucken.

I use "norevolts" cheat until 1939 because of this.

 

[TK3600]

French are allied with UK ever since Poland. All their units are full strength.

 

[TK3600]

If I attack Luxemburg, I either need suffer huge loss pin down 56 div, or see luxemburg have 36 reinforcements.

You really build 40+ garrisons by 1939?

 

[makif130289]

45 exactly. Then, i use all of them in France and Norway. That's all i build for the entire game. Serial production helps A LOT.

 

[SaintPony]

Wait... so AI aggressiveness also increase rate of attack, not only chance of DoW?

So does the game gets considerably harder on Very Aggressive?
