Relative build scheme yes/no...does it make any difference?

[Herodotus]

I am fiddling a bit with the build schemes of different AI countries...also allowing a longer batch time.

Should not all build schemes be marked "relative_build_scheme = no"?

But why are there a few marked "yes"?

For instance usa_1936.ai:

military = {
relative_build_scheme = yes
max_batch_peace = 360
max_batch_war = 180
max_batch_home_front = 180

While sov_1936.ai:

military = {
relative_build_scheme = no
max_batch_peace = 360
max_batch_war = 180
max_batch_home_front = 180

Can I safely just mark all build schemes "relative_build_scheme = no"?....or are the few "yes" there for a reason?

Set "no" and the AI will exactly build what you ask it to.
Set "yes" and it will try to maintain a balance between the units.

Thanks for the quick answer!

Also thanks for the quick answer concerning how to make the japanese ai build some SHBB!
