AI Command Limits

[unmerged(12556)]

So, does anyone know how the AI players calculate command limits? I faced an attack where the AI had, I kid you not, a command limit of over 400! This seems odd, and my inclination is to just set the variable to 200 or something in the misc file. If they get effectivivley unlimited, so should I.

Was it on offence or defence and what was the situation exactly? Attacking from multiple provinces increases the command cap while if the AI pulled reinforcements in while defending the defender's command cap is added on the total (IIRC).

AI was attacking, looks similar to what you posted, wow...

Not sure I like this, but thanks for the prompt and informative answer.

Just to clarify the command cap also works for you. If you attack from multiple provinces (generally speaking) you'll increase the command cap, while pulling in reinforcements for another battle will also do the same most of the time (unless you're pulling 4x Mj. Generals to a battle already fought by a single Mj. General and such). So it's not AI only

Yeah, it's not AI cheating, I spent some time today creating the effect myself. The problem is it's very gamey and I might still want to raise command limits in the misc file and then boost the stack penalty to compensate.

I think I have just as much fun tinkering with the game as I do playing it.

Just be prepared for the shocking sight you're going to see if you just put them higher :rofl:

Tough call mate. Attacking needs to be tough. The AI likes to have many small armies led by the best ranked guys....massive limits ensue. On the attack though the AI finds it a bit harder
