AI for MWIF - Mexico

Post by peskpesk »

Mexico setup AI

Mexico Forces
2-4 CAV, 4-3 INF, 5-4 MOT 1940, 6-5 MEC 1943, RES 3-2 MIL, RES 2-3 MIL, 1 Naval unit, 1 FTR2 1942

Mexico has three basic setups:

* Capital defence: Is just as the name suggests a setup where the Mexican
land unit is setup to defend Mexico City.

* Ship to Europe defence: When no immediate threat exists and Mexican forces could be of use elsewhere this defence is used to ship Mexican forces to Europe as ASAP.

* Ship to Asia defence: When no immediate threat exists and Mexican forces could be of use elsewhere this defence is used to ship Mexican forces to Asia as ASAP.

Mexico has six extreme setups:

* Ship to Europe and Asia defence: When no immediate threat exists and Mexican forces could be of use elsewhere this defence is used to ship Mexican forces to Europe and Asia as ASAP.

* Eastern Invasion defence: the Mexican land units are setup to defend the ports on the east cost to make it more difficult for the attacker to find an undefended port close to the capital.

* Western Invasion defence: the Mexican land units are setup to defend the ports on the west cost to make it more difficult for the attacker to find an undefended port close to the capital.

* North Border defence: Is just as the name suggests a setup where the Mexico land forces as set a blocking force against advance of land units, slowly retreating back to the capital if necessary.

* South Border defence: Is just as the name suggests a setup where the Mexico land forces as set a blocking force against advance of land units, slowly retreating back to the capital if necessary.

* Marauder defence: Is just as the name suggests a setup where the one of the Mexico unit is set up to raise mayhem before Mexico is beaten. The List of targets is: Guatemala and Honduras.

Declaration of war
Given a Western allies declaration of war and JP/GE control of Mexico OR a GE/IT/JP declaration of war with and US/CW control of Mexico the suggested reasoning for the AI could be as below.

Threats to guard against:
* Threat of paradrop on/close to Mexico City
* Threat of invasion close to Mexico City from Gulf of Mexico
* Threat of invasion close to Mexico City from Caribbean Sea
* Threat of enemy land units entering Mexico from the North
* Threat of enemy land units entering Mexico from Guatemala
* Threat of enemy land units entering Mexico from British Honduras
* Threat of having the land unit disrupted


Good hopes:
* Chance of intervention from controlling power
* Chance to try to conquer Guatemala/British Honduras
* Chance to try to step on facedown allied unit(s)
* Chance to try to step on facedown axis unit(s)

Threat of paradrop on/close to Mexico City

IF the Weather is Storm or Blizzard the no risk of paradrop

IF any of the countries at war has a:

Organized ATR AND
it’s in supply or can be put in supply AND
the ATR has range to Mexico City/within three hex from the capital or can be put in range of it by naval transport AND
there is a organized PARA AND
it’s in supply or can be put in supply AND
the PARA has range to ATR or can be put in range of it AND
the PARA and the ATR belongs to countries that can cooperate AND
the chance of a successful paradrop is > 20 %

THEN

Threat of paradrop on/close to Mexico City


Threat of invasion close to Mexico City from Gulf of Mexico

IF the Weather is not Fine or Rain then there is no risk of invasion

IF any of the countries at war has a:

Organized TRS/AMPH/SCS AND one of A or B

A)
it’s in supply or can be put in supply AND
it has range to Gulf of Mexico AND
there is a organized LandUnit AND
the LandUnit it’s in supply or can be put in supply AND
the LandUnit and the transporting unit can cooperate AND
the transporting unit can transport the LandUnit AND
the LandUnit can invade from the transporting unit AND
the LandUnit is on a costal hex in Gulf of Mexico Cost OR stack with the transporting unit AND
the chance of a successful invasion is > 20 %

B)
It’s in the Gulf of Mexico the AND
there is a organized LandUnit stack with the transporting unit AND
the LandUnit can invade from the transporting unit AND
the chance of a successful invasion is > 20 %

THEN

Threat of invasion close to Mexico City from Gulf of Mexico

Threat of invasion close to Mexico City from Caribbean Sea
Same as Threat of invasion close to Mexico City from Gulf of Mexico but from the Caribbean

Threat of enemy land units entering Mexico from the North

IF any of the countries at war has
A organized LandUnit AND
it’s in USA AND
it can reach Mexico City in four impulses AND
it’s not blocked by ZOC.

THEN

Threat of enemy land units entering Mexico from the North

Threat of enemy land units entering Mexico from Guatemala

IF any of the countries at war has
A organized LandUnit AND
it’s in Guatemala AND
it can reach Mexico City in three impulses AND
it’s not blocked by ZOC.

THEN

Threat of enemy land units entering Mexico from Guatemala

Threat of enemy land units entering Mexico from British Honduras
Same as Threat of enemy land units entering Mexico from Guatemala but in Guatemala

Threat of having the land unit disrupted

IF the Weather is Storm or Blizzard there is no risk of having the land unit disrupted

IF any of the countries at war has A or B

A)
A organized air unit AND
the unit has tactical factors AND
it’s in supply or can be put in supply AND
it has range to the hex where the land unit is planed to be placed AND
the chance of a successful ground strike is > 30 %
B)
A organized ART unit AND
it’s in supply or can be put in supply AND
it has adjacent to the hex where the land unit is planed to be placed AND
the chance of a successful ground strike is > 30 %

THEN

There is risk of having the land unit disrupted
