How to limit AI unit spam late game?

[Night_147]

I did some hands-off games with minor nations.
In my 1936 games the AI builds a lot of units late game (after 1945) since the IC is very high in the major countries, especially USA, but also Germany.
Any thoughts as how to limit that?
Some twitching of values in the misc.txt?
Or is it too much manpower?
Peace modifier IC?

Ill intervene.

To clarify, the original HOI2 engine, of which DH is a heavily modified version of, there was a daily manpower growth that was in fact much bigger than what it is now. A country like the SU could make, with all manpower techs, nearly 1 division's worth of MP in about 1 week. This meant that armies usually had a hard limit to their numbers, as units could not be produced without manpower. However, DH implemented the mobilization system, which meant your daily MP growth is miniscule, but you can extend your country's mobilization depending on the threat level you're facing. This created a tangent that makes it so the AI immediately jumps to extended mobilization, pumping units incredibly fast and getting no penalties for overproduction, vs a normal player who cant simply go that far due to the massive penalties stemming from extra mob.

Thus, the problem is one where the AI doesnt know how to stop overproducing. There is a command line that handles production vs IC, but i dont know how to work it.

Misc.txt:

# Do not start producing any new units when more then THIS percentage of the total IC is needed to supply existing units (0.0 to 1.0; 1.0 = 100%, disabled). Enabling this will encourage AI to build more IC when this ratio is exceeded.
0.25 #1.0

There are more such options in the misc.txt:

# Do not start producing any new units when currently available MP is less then THIS * MP required for reinforcements of existing units and the country is at war. Using 0.0 effectively disables this parameter
0.5 #0.0
# Do not start producing any new units when less then THIS MP is available in the pool
1.0 #5.0
# Do not start producing any new units when more then THIS percentage of the total IC is needed to supply existing units (0.0 to 1.0; 1.0 = 100%, disabled). Enabling this will encourage AI to build more IC when this ratio is exceeded.
0.25 #1.0
# Military Strength to Total IC ratio during Peacetime for AI countries (do not build new units if above this ratio). Use -1.0 to disable this.
-1.0 #-1.0
# Military Strength to Total IC ratio during Wartime for AI countries (do not build new units if above this ratio). Use -1.0 to disable this.
-1.0 #-1.0
# Military Strength to Total IC ratio for AI major countries (multiplied on the other).
1.0 #1.0

What does qualify as a AI major country in-game?

I find the military strength to Total IC ratio for AI countries particular intriguing.

Did anybody tried to change it and know the results?
