Why we shouldn't be happy about Hard Caps for Special Forces

[ThuderLizard2]

The "resource" used to do AI is not the same "resource" used to do the hard caps.

First of all as I've said at my peril before on these pages more resources need to be added to the AI team - permanent not borrowed from the EU4 team. Secondly, reprogramming the AI to deal with these hard caps is a big exercise for the AI programmers. Now the AI has to decide how to allocate limited SF units - this takes time from fixing the base AI problems.

First, it was impossible to balance an ai where people were running around with 1 million Marines backed by artillery. People complained about the ai being easy and dumb, this was one of the steps PDS took to balance the system. No more armies of Space Marines.

Is this really the most pressing problem the AI has?

Yes, game balance really is an ai issue.
