I'm not sure if this is the proper subforum to ask this question, but anyway, I've been trying to fiddle around with the A.Is in one of my VIP save games, and I think I now understand how to make the AI build armies (desired army size, etc), but I can't figure out how to get certain countries to build a navy.
I know there's a "desired navy size" command, but when I tried that, all they built was loads of transports, so I then figured out that the "transport = 80.000" line was making it do that, but now even after I've put transports down to 10 or 20, some AI nations just will not build any warships.
To give an example, I'm playing as the USA, and Ireland was created, and in this game it had a population of 40 million, 10,000 industry, 20 infantry divisions, but wouldn't build any navy until I changed the navy size thing in the save file, now they've built about 60 transport ships and nothing else, total useless!
At the same time, minor and comparatively poor nations, like Nova Scotia and New Zeeland built a navy of about 20 cruisers each, what gives?
I've also see some countries build large fleets of cruisers, but no dreadnoughts or battleships at all, even though they are obviously capable of doing so. Is there any way I can influence this behaviour?
