I just tried the HoI3 demo for the first time and wanted to see how giving the ai command over some forces works. I started a game as germany and set the troops on the polish front to AI control, blitzkrieg stance and gave them objectives in Poland. Then I waited. And waited. and the AI never made a single attack, moved a single unit or appearently did anything. So has anyone succeded in using the ai?

Works fine here. Selected OKW, set to AI control and blitz stance, set objective Warsaw and it leaped into action. A couple a attacks started right away, my air force went into action and a lot of my border forces started moving north to better attack Warsaw.

Setting the AI to do things.

Okay, went through all the tutorials and started a new game (demo) SetAI to Political, Production, Tech, and Army. But they do not do any thing? Can any one tell me what I need too do to get certain theaters of war under AI control? IE Eastern Front?

I can't figure out how can I set a stance for my theatre?

Edit: Ok I understood how.

3 Questions: Is it possible to automatically control the IC ? (I mean upgrades, consumer goods etc.)
And is it possible to set Trade Deals concluded automatically and convoy roots also automatically set?

To get units under AI control:

1) Select any unit in the area you want under AI control
2) Look at the unit dialogue. It should have what seems to be several closed tabs just above it with diferent names EG if you've selected 22nd Infantry Division you might also see the names XV ArmeeKorps, 3. Armee, Armeegroup Sud, OKW. Those tabs are the senior Headquarters the unit is under
3) Select the tab for a high-level headquarters like an army group or theatre
4) A lot of units should get a flashing outline briefly. Those are all the units under control of that HQ
5) Where it says "No objectives set" on the HQ there is a toggle on the lefthand side that looks like a flag. Click it so it goes green. That activates AI control of the Headquarters.
6) The cursor should now have a green flag over it when you mouse over territory. Now right-click the places you want to set as objectives.

(all from memory, there might be some minor difference)

By default your theatre HQs are the one displayed in the land units section of the outliner. This should allow you to click stright to them. If you click on the mapmode with the HQ symbol on it, this will allow to see what regions your theatres are covering.

Once you turn on AI control with the red-highlighted button you'll have a stance menu just to the right of that. It should be on "prepare" by default, but just click to change it.

And is it possible to set Trade Deals concluded automatically and convoy roots also automatically set?

Convoys should already be on automatic, although you can check on the production -> create convoy screen.

For automatic trade deals you need to set diplo to AI control (at the top-right). Same for sliders, but the production screen.

Ok thank you.

And 2 last questions.

Is it possible to set a number of Free off-map resources and IC like HoI 2?
And also if there is a console with cheats like HoI2.

And I am finished with the questioning part

I am pretty sure this will be in the release version but might not be implemented in the demo.
