Fantastic.
There is no hurry, things done calmly and well are the best !
To test I keep Cuba as a nation and I never intervene, I remove the fog of war and observe everything like a movie.
for more info contact me when you want, at most in 24 hours I answer .
let's take it as a test and see if the result is good.
i usually use costa rica, cuba, the dominican republic, el salvador and all the other minor nations in america to run my tests with since even if they do not enter the war or do nothing, there will be a minimal impact on the game and most are not going to see any action in the war
Hello to all
IMPORTANT:
I found a serious error in Soviet events for the development of the 1943 armored brigades and the return to the 1943 armored divisions.
I correct with the new version, I think the 1:36, before the day tomorrow .
Very serious error ...the soviet player (AI and human) because of that mistake, he cannot develop the divisions / brigades of 1943, blocking the updating of the already existing ones of 1941.
I ask excuse me!!!

Hello to all
I corrected everything and added a new version of the game, version 1.36.
Anticipations of the recent changes:
Version 1.36
23 June 2020
-- Deleted all second strings "#EOF;;;;;;;;;;;x" in all .csv file into "config" folder, all strings after the
first string "#EOF;;;;;;;;;;;x" will cause errors.
Many thanks to Czarina julie for discovering and reporting this important issue, the cuase of many game crash.
-- Eliminated spaces at the end of texts, before the semicolon ";" and " ;", in many text files in the "config" folder.
They can cause sudden crash of the game.
-- Fixed a serious error in Soviet events for the development of the 1943 armored brigades and the return to the 1943
armored divisions.
Have fun!

Hello!
I commission you for a new job, much simpler and faster, at least I think so!
In the event for the Soviet 25607 in the AI_sov.txt file, there is launched the AI file for the fast occupation of Berlin:
command = {type = ai which = "switch / SOV_Red_Flag_in_Berlin.ai"}
But the Soviet is not very fast, often months go by and it always occupies Berlin as the last region.
Are you able to edit the file in the "switch" folder inside the "ai" folder, SOV_Red_Flag_in_Berlin.ai?
The aim is that once launched from event 25607, Berlin will be targeted as a main target.
You can give precedence to this job over AI USA.
Let me know if you feel like doing it.
Thank you.
Luca.

okay, here is the edits for usa and the red flag ai - this is ai only, i did not mess with the events as wanted to show the minimal changes that can affect your mod greatly.Hello!

a few of the problems i noticed; (it is late and i may not be as coherent as i would like but i had the time to test the red flag relatively quickly)
warzone odds for most of the ai's are set much too high which leads them to over commit to one zone rather than spread out which in combination with a very high max attack odds leads them to sit around doing nothing while they have a massive superiority and could have finished the few units in front of them easily, on top of this is too low garrisons which leads to few units available for the ai to transport overseas which affects mostly usa and leads them to have a huge army and most of their mp stuck in usa.
the german build ai's keep flipping between the different ai's.
very high serial settings for the ai leads to them not being able to clear what they are producing for several years and so take very long to see any of the changes actually come out to the field.
there is plenty of room for the ai to build more ic, also most of the ai setup is using very high speedsteps which are very wasteful in icd and can be reduced to 0 in most cases and with a few critical provinces at 1.
feel free to rip my mod for setups, ai and ai events - goes for everyone else as well, just leave a note in the credits or on the forum if you do, i so love it when people do it ^^,
You have been faster than I thought.
Thank you so much!
Now I integrate and test the AI further.
Thanks for the advice ... I think you are the best AI expert among amateurs.
I've never understood that much about AI.
I will mention you for sure, I believe with the version, imminent release, 1.43 or higher.
pb-dk is the one i have on this board as evil overlord was taken back in the day, i usually go by evil overlord everywhere else and i also sign my ai's with that so evil is prefered ^^,
i also started doing ai and other mods for hoi1 back when that got out though i played with eu1,2 and vicky mods as well... so i guess you can say i know a bit about the ai from that aspect, have not got the programming skills to really figure out the hard code which i got access to as part of the dev team for 1.10 and onwards
Hello to all
A huge cumulative patch for Iron Fist is imminent, if I can I also implement patch 1.12 for AoD.
I am currently working on AoD patch 1.12 implementation and AI improvement for USA and ENG.
I arrived at the Iron Fist 1.115 version on 14/08/2020.
There are also new events, 4 concerning the Battle of Britain and 6 concerning the Italian expeditionary forces in Russia, CISR and ARMIR.
I still corrected many errors!
The very kind PB-DK is working on the AI and as soon as everything is ready I will make the new version available for download.
I don't know how long it will take, I think 2 weeks to 6 weeks.
Don't forget about Iron Fist ... we work hard to make it even better.
See you soon guys!

Hello to all
I have decided not to integrate AoD patch 1.12, a decision made after careful consideration.
The AoD 1.12 patch does not play the intro video, the intro is not required, but I took the time and it is part of Iron Fist.
After dozens of tests, I haven't noticed a marked improvement against sudden crashes.
We ran 30 tests with AoD 1.12 and there were 7 crashes, 30 tests with AoD 1.11 and there were 9 crashes.
The gain is small.
Is the German player (both AI and human) inexplicably stronger, parameters within the game engine? ...I only kept the executable and 3 map files, so the strength of Germany cannot be given by settings, events and units of its armed forces.
After years of setting up to find the right balance with Iron Fist, I don't want to do all the huge work again.
I hope that the developers of "AoD patch 1.12" can understand my views.
A giant patch for Iron Fist will be out in a few weeks with new very responsive and realistic AI for the US, England and USSR nations.
And this time the AI will be tough, we have been testing and setting them for almost a month thanks to the precious help of "PB-DK".
Patches for Iron Fist will currently remain based on AoD 1.11.

LOL....funny enought i updated to AOD 1.12 because i figured your next release would be using AOD 1.12....so...either you do months of work and update to 1.12 or i roll back to 1.11.......guess i can find 30 minutes in the next few weeks to roll back....sometimes it dont pay to get ahead of things....anyway glad you still at work on the mod and thanks for the heads up....take care

Ciaoooo!
Sorry but I will stay at 1.11 for the reasons I listed
For Iron Fist you only need basic AoD, Iron Fist updates to patch 1.11 automatically once installed on AoD.
For the next version of Iron Fist there will be huge improvements on artificial intelligence.
I still corrected a lot of errors that prevented the correct development of some events and the AI.
Then there are news, events on the battle of England with excellent written texts that give the idea of how we lived with bated breath.
Italian expeditionary forces, the CISR and then ARMIR in Russia.
Also fixed inconsistencies between images of Allied units given in military control to Germany for the USSR invasion.
Very aggressive American and British, hopefully the US is finally operating in the right way both in Europe and in the Pacific ...thanks to the work done on AI, carried out by "PB-DK".
I'm almost at the final version ...the one that can be considered complete and well functioning.
Hope you will like it!

great job boulvard) I will wait for the new version. I just tried out DH mod, and the AI sucked incredibly, in comparison to AOD behaviour. So I rank your mod as the best atm. When will the new version be out?
- 1
Thank you ...these are satisfactions.
It depends on when PB-DK makes itself heard and helps me with the changes, it hasn't been heard for a month.
In truth, little is missing, tweaks to the US AI, some changes to the AI of English, Soviet and German.
I'm at a standstill, PB-DK is a genius with AI, if I put my hand I risk getting worse, I have to wait for him, I have no alternative.
still working on the ai parts, usa should be getting a smaller update to help out a bit with the air warfare and some extra forces freed up from garrison hopefully this week ^^,
Perfect, as soon as the changes are ready, I run the tests and I integrate the current version: 1.135
Thanks again PB-DK!
Before Iron Fist turns its first year, November 1, 2019, the giant patch should be available.
From the last tests we have seen with satisfaction the USA and UK Commonwealth behave as real allies, tough, insidious and evil, as in history it happened starting from 1943.
It's mostly a matter of tweaking and balancing, but the new Iron Fist will be very tough with AI.
Finally a right difficulty for the single player game is coming.
