Why nobody makes auto ai army mod to help manage front lines

[pafnus]

Hello guys..

Darkest hour one of best hoi game and it is still too good to play but it has too many provience to manage. And it kills player whrn it comes multipl and large fronts, like german- soviet war.

Why nobody makes a mod which gives oto army option to help manager front lines? İt can be done via events or something else.

Go ahead...
I am most curious how it will work out.

but it has too many provience to manage

lmao
Have you seen how many provinces have Hoi3/4?

That's why DH is the best Hoi game - because it has minimum number of provinces that really can be managed. Unlike Hoi3/4 billions provinces

I completely agree, the number of provinces in HOI2 and divisions maintain a good balance. Yes, sometimes microcontrol is needed, but this is not HOI3, where giving orders takes a lot of time.

İn europe and russia there are too many very small proviences which are difficult to manage. Oto army would be life saving :/

Theoretically, this can be done, there is an ai file for Germany, the USSR, but the question is how to implement this - the player stands at factories, conducts diplomacy, builds divisions, at the same time ai places an army and controls them - this is not very easy, I think changing the game code

Maybe we can order army too like hoi 4. Because in hoi 4 we can inrupt ai orders and make pockets

Source code and relevant knowledge work wonders. But I repeat, no one has done this in almost 20 years, because... there is no need, the scale of the game is small compared to HOI3 and HOI4. Seriously.

You are right. But it would be good option and booster playability of the game.

To be honest... not really.
What you are asking for: mod to auto-manage units along the border, is really very difficult. Difficult enough that the outcome will be of as low quality as no one daring to use it.

Additionally most players will probably even not want to. If you don't make a plan, deploy and order your units. well, what are you doing then?

Maybe we can order army too like hoi 4

Not entirely sure but I could imagine that DH was developed and is still played today for NOT doing this.

Maybr i am noob, i admit it but it is hard to manager large fronts with air force and naval units

 

[Bad4play]

In my knowledge it is impossible to do so unless modifying source code (which I'm not sure but it is illegal no ? If not teach me sensei plz)

Tho I never tried but loading ai file through event is possible but I think it will not do anything (if you want to try go in db/event/1914AI or something like that, you will find U08 event for ww1 battle plan, just remove the trigger condition ai= yes and you'll have the game load you an ai file when you start ww1.

About ten years ago, when Luxor was making "PoS" i have already indicated this proposition.
In fact the script that regulate the frontline and successive behavior are already there. It's true that whit few provinces to control there is no need, but in the soviet invasion it cuold be useful.
Same when i proposed it long ago, i had a game whit japan and as a qualified "yellow blob" i conquered china, india, australia, and i was starting the invasion of africa, any help would have been very useful.
