AI construction of units

[unmerged(120300)]

The question is - What file/line handles the AI decisions of making certain units. For the example: I'm playing as Latvia and have an military alliance with Estonia and Lithuania. In 1940. SU demands to give it all my provinces. My answer - ''S**w You!'' So the war begins... The thing is - Estonia and Lithuania (handled by AI) has the habit of making the majority of their forces from mountain troops. With the exception of Lithuania having one hill province it is a total abnormality of such an actions. Is there an any chance of making the AI build regular infantry, not the less cost effective and certainly not-right-suited mountain troops (just for Estonia and Lithuania, don't want to do a possible harm to other states)?

Yes, the ai files specify the production pattern of countries. You are the first person ever to want to change it TO infantry, though

Well, I have a very good reason to do so, as told in the first post. But in which folder that AI file is located, whats it's name, please, and is the production pattern suited for one specific country or them all (can I change it just for one, not influencing another)?

HoI2\AI\<countryname>.ai

Most countries have their own file, but some minors use the standard one. Since you have the problem of extra-ordinary buildup, I am sure that they have an own ai file. Standard AI does build nothing but infantry (DDR for instance, it really sucks as they have the IC to produce 300+ divisions, yet all of them are infantry)

Many thanks for the info

A bit off regarding your question, but you might want to change the willingness of Estonia and Lithuania to cave to Soviet demands as well. Otherwise they will build infantry, but still give everything away at the first time of asking.
