Will the AI be able to handle playing beyond the end date?

[CwnAnnwn]

Let's say I changed the end date of HoI4 to 2000 and kept playing after the end of the scheduled end date of 1945, will the AI be able to handle it? In HoI3 there were a lot of problems regarding the AI if you attempted to play on after the game ended. Personally I like to just keep playing my strategy games as I love seeing how my world ended up after the game has "ended".

So yeah, will the AI be able to handle going beyond the schedulded end date in HOI4? I doubt we will be able to keep upgrading our technology and that's fine, i'm just curoious about the level of scripting vs actual AI that will be in HOI4.

I think it depends on whether or not you want it to keep it very historical. With the advancement of all the new techs and new territorial changes, a lot of the AI scripts would become obsolete. (plus, after 1943, 44 most countries AI will run out of scripts for future actions, so they might not do anything at all)

If somebody ever does a Cold War mod or if Paradox releases a DLC like that, then I think it would be playable so long the bugs are fixed. (although I think it would be hard to mod)

The problem isn't the AI but the events and other things like tech. Most stop on or around 1948. The AI has nothing to do with these. So I think you confuse what the AI actually is and what it does.

my guess is that the AI will still be unable to handle anything other than the specified timeframe due to the ever increasing numbers of divisional units that it will produce and so pretty much collapse on itself as happens with every other hoi game, so unless they do something about it for this version of hoi, dont expect the ai to be able to handle peace time or disarmament

Doesn't the remaining European (Germany or USSR) and Asian (China or Japan) power just crash the game by producing thousands of divisions with their limitless manpower?
I've never played that far, but that's what I assume would happen (At least in HOI 3)

this is exactly what will happen in all hoi games and unless they change it for hoi4, it will be the same that happens in hoi4, meaning that extending the time frame for mods will be meaningless

Actually you are wrong,in HOI3 the tech's continue after 48,some of them max at late 1950's
other at 1970's and other continue even after that.

What stops at 48 are the scripted events,and since there are no scripts and in vanilla the AI is
not programed to react to the situation nothing happens(unless you initiate it)and the game
turns into a bore,in the TRP mod for example Lothos changed the AI to actually react to what's
going on and notice threat and DOW other nations accordingly,need to check it with extended
date and see how it goes.

Hmmm . . in some HOI games you do see the situation where new techs come about but the AI doesn't use them.
