Hi Paul,

It does have an effect, especially rail lines, however the AI does get a helping hand with logistics that you, as a player, don't.

Hi Antmf,

Wrong forum buddy.

Hi,

Thanks for answers.

Hi,

With any given scenario, if it's replayed, are the enemy units always in the same start positions and follow the same initial scripts or is there some variation?

<t> Hi briklebritt,<br/>
<br/>
You appear to be playing a modded version of the game.<br/>
<br/>
There is no 81mm mortar in the standard game so it's hard to say whats going on with the mod you are using.<br/>
<br/>
The UI element in your shot above is non standard (should be grey, the brown ...

Hi,

That's looks a bit dodgy. Thanks for picking it up.

I'll take a look.

Hi Paul,

You'd be correct. It does have an effect but for the German AI it's fairly minimal.

Zhukov could be put to better use elsewhere.

<t> Hi boldairade,<br/>
<br/>
Most likely Finland feels threatened.<br/>
<br/>
The game mechanic for this revolves around a line of markers on the map (white letter 'S', near Helsinki) within Finland. If a Soviet unit reaches one of these Finland will sue for peace immediately as they consider ...

Hi Nikdav,

Interesting picture.

<t> Hi DadDM,<br/>
<br/>
The divisions are made of up individual components which you can see on the bottom bar. Mountain infantry are essentially a light infantry division. While you could expect them to have enhanced abilities in mountains the effect of this is well below the scale of the game ...

Hi Sudwind,

Any unused replacements will wait until there is a need for them elsewhere. They aren't lost.

The base supply amount is fixed and can't be changed as it would upset the game balance otherwise.

<t> Hi Nikolas,<br/>
<br/>
The player seeing the enemy engaging 'unseen' enemy units is exactly how the helicopters work in the game at present.<br/>
<br/>
The friendly AI wouldn't need to change (although any improvement would be welcome). The game and friendly A.I would work as it currently ...

<t> Hi Veitikka,<br/>
<br/>
We are talking at cross purposes here as I haven't explained myself very well.<br/>
<br/>
I agree with you that the Player should have a god like view of his own forces for the reasons you've mentioned and full control.<br/>
<br/>
What I was talking about, not very ...

<t> Hi Elmo,<br/>
<br/>
The AI in AB is certainly not 'fully autonomous' as it requires constant input from the player in the form of orders.<br/>
<br/>
The point of contention is whether you are giving those orders based on a god like perspective of the battlefield or one that incorporates ...

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
Riffing off the ideas above.<br/>
<br/>
In a lot of tactically orientated games information on the enemy isn't given to the player in a 'god-like' manner. Instead there are delays in the information reaching the player (up through whatever chain of command is in the game) and ...

<t> Hi nikolas,<br/>
<br/>
O.K, that also sounds good.<br/>
<br/>
Would the ECM effect for a given game be constant for the prescribed level or would, for example, a Medium ECM give varying amounts of hindrance during the game based on it's base strength (Medium) and intermittement probability ...

<t> Hi nikolas,<br/>
<br/>
Thanks for the info. Sounds good.<br/>
<br/>
How is jamming going to effect on non-weapon areas such as the speed of information flow or the issuing of commands?<br/>
<br/>
I take it that ECM will be abstracted and there won't be an EW unit sitting behind a hill at ...

Hi Veitikka,

Sounds good. How are you planning on handling ECM?

Cheers,
Lancer

<t> Hi Ryan,<br/>
<br/>
If Stalin didn't purge his officer Corps in '37 & '38 Barbarossa would, in all likelihood, have been a fizzer. The Germans were massively outnumbered and with even half decent Soviet leadership and an absence of 'decision paralysis' Moscow wouldn't have a lot to worry about ...

Hi nikolas,

Arrrgh! You are dev. Trust your instincts...

Is the overhaul you mentioned planned for the current, or next, iteration of the game?

Cheers,
Lancer
