Hi,
I've only recently started playing HOI 1 and have never played HOI 2. I have to say that no matter what setting I put the AI on it's pretty woeful. I see that a great deal of work went into an improved AI but all the links are broken and I can't find the file. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be most thankful.
In the meantime my answer has been to play Poland. I've finally got their economy and research just right from '36 to make a reasonable go of it. But now the Germans seem hesitant to test my defences properly (despite aggressive AI setting) and we're in summer 1940 having been at war since August 1939. The Germans have denuded their western front postponing the low countries so that the French have a 6-1 superiority in ground and air forces on the Franco German frontier and yet the damn French won't attempt an attack or even a feint!!!?????
This is frustrating to say the least. For the purposes of venting, Germany demanded Danzig to build a land bridge to East Prussia - Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria!!??? and Rumania all declared war with Germany on Poland (which I thought was a bit odd). Then, while the Germans were stuffing about organising attack the Poles struck into Konigsberg, took out East Prussia, held the Hungarians at bay and here we are in a stalemate because the superior AI with more troops better equiped seems scared to do the hard yards and bleed me white even though at this stage it has been humiliated???
For the love of all that is good in wargames, if there's a file out there that get's the AI moving please point me in the right direction.
Cheers.
