Last WWW stream (Japanese volunteers)

[Dojo704]

Hey all,

If i remember correctly, Japan send volunteers to daniel in the last WWW stream. Well most of the time i was not even thinking about them when suddenly i noticed what they were actually doing.

Bashing into the maginot line. Over the river. As single infanterie divisions. You know, the thing every AI nation previously loved -> bashing into your line until they have no manpower or equipment with no regards to sucess chances.

You can see it in the uploaded Stream on youtube at 48:42 and following seconds.
At 51:09 u can see the Divisions again revovering org after an attack
at 52:02 u see daniel zooming in and realising it.

How is this still a thing? I thought the AI has somewhat improved?


Greetings

They are japanese. They do whatever the emporer desires. And if they fail it is a shamefur dispray and they cannot return home.

Whatever the coding is that prevents the German army from suiciding against the Maginot, does not apply to any other country. Not sure if the Germans were coded to avoid forts to counter the early tactic of killing themselves on the forts, but it is a German only thing. If you get volunteers from anywhere, after the war starts, all of the volunteers seem to head straight to the French borders and 'probe the maginot line in force' so to speak.

I'm not sure if this is WAD, or if the German fix was put in as a stop gap for the symptom of them attacking the fort vs. the actual reason they attack the forts. Been hoping that the new patch will at solve the underlying reason that the AI suicides troops in unwinnable battles.

This suicidal behaviour by volunteers is nothing new. You will often see that armies of country X will not attack certain positions, but volunteers sent to that country will gladly charge to die. Death or Glory, I guess

(And Army Experience )

They should just allow received volunteers to be controlled directly by the human player. They should always arrive in the capital too, not in some random far-off tile.

Japan really shouldn't be sending volunteers to Spain and Germany.

Maybe you fail to see the hidden wisdom in it: The AI is playing gamey, it just wants the army experience.
