Hi there,

may I ask if the AI still do nothing to reduce the shortage ?

Started now my game new , without UNITS, as I hoped that the AI countries, would start to improve their economy, before they build too many units ...
now I am in 1965 and the same problem ... THINK none of the AI has built up their industry (like it was in SR2010 and 2020) BUT MILLIONS of troops, so even if they want, their units will not be able to move or beeing supplied !

Have others ecountered the same problem and if so !

Please dear DEVS , what is so hard to give the AI countries the possibility to SLOWLY build up their ECONOMY and that they have a LIMIT how many troops they will build ...
FRANCE IS FULL OF TROOPS, they are already dropping into the sea , as they aren't able to find a free space in their country ... okay not now, but maybe in 10 years !

really that is frustrating, PLEASE DO SOMETHING AGAINST THAT , a simple LIMIT depending on their economy for AI countries and after that a simple economy building up AI part !

Or something wrong with my game ?

THANK YOU ...

apart that two things , still a great game for me !

... if you have the territory with oil fields of course ...

spent 30,000.000 mil to get France as ally ( to reduce one % Causus belli cost most of the time 1,000.000 ) ...
now will continue different wars with that 3 allies ...
around 500 france tanks already moved through my conquered countries to destroy Bulgaria :)
bought 50,000.000 mil oil so that France could move his tanks ...

next problem that AI really had built 95% only tanks ??? So AI didn't has a setting, how he should built his army ..

sorry Battlefrog Devs, thought that AI has improved since SR2020, but hasn't !
I am not expecting a real AI but at least an AI, which follows some "prepared" advices from the programmer !
ATM the only thing that this AI "knows" is MASSATTACK (Humanwave or Tankwave) nothing more ...

really hoped it has improved in the last years !

Could we expect, that some rules and limitations will be included in the near future ? Or out of reach for that game engine or the AI programmer :-O

Dev have stated the AI is trying too hard to sell old units, and not scrapping as many of them as they'd like.Once the AI starts scrapping more,it should get better.

Reserving should be upped as well.

That is why I started this game new with Update 1 and NO UNITS , and France built around 4000 !!!!!! of the same tank , which is still their best ! Now I gave them a new better TANK design !

The problem is

1.) ALL AI countries are building too many UNITS ... they should stop, if their PETROL SUPPORT is too low and that means maximum -10% petrol
2.) there should be a % matrix WHICH units should be build and when to scrap
3.) THAT STACKS of 7 should be changed to REAL BATTLEGROUPS , so that this BATTLEGROUPS stay together ALWAYS and if you combine the correct units you should get BONUSES , so AI should built BATTLEGROUPS which could do different tasks ... like BAttlegroups against TANKS, Cities , airplanes, longrange and so on ... so before the AI attacks something it should search for a proper Battlegroup and should use that one to do the job ...
so important is that this BATTLEGROUPS stay together, couldn't be split because of stacking !!!!! With that the AI could do SOMEHOW decisions ...
The attack from France against SOFIA was terrible , around 500 tanks have been moving to that single HEX , that's it , most of them stopped because of Supply and Oil problems, sometimes around 30 tanks and more has been at ONE HEX and trying to search for a free HEX !

years have passed since SR2010 , I think the AI programming guy should be exchanged ! Still nothing ... and like it is in many other games, also SR has terrible STACKING problems !!!! Only HOI3 is NOW (!!!) better with that !
