I've been working on making a USA/CSA War Between the States battlescenario. I've got it pretty much finished but I was wondering about ai files. I don't really know how to write ai files, so I was wondering if anyone that knows something about them could suggest an existing file to use as a default, or explain how ai files work. Right now I have the USA and CSA files set to use the "usa_war.ai" file, but I'm not sure if this would be best. Any suggestions or tips? I'm doing this on HOI2 btw, not DD. Thanks!

Most of the original battle scenarios have special ai files...yours should probably do the same...

The simplest thing to do is take an existing file and edit it match your requirements as needed. Most of the info is there, it is just a case of changing the target provinces to places in the USA/CSA...plus all the other targeting priorities such as where to defend.

Keep in mind the AI files are very difficult to edit to actually get them to do what you want, dont be dissapointed if it doesnt go too well, mine still dont!

Post any further questions and I or someone will try to answer.
