How does the AI handle the game?

What the title says.

This looked like an absolute blast when it was just a simple mod, even more so now. PBEM is going to be tough this summer, so I'm curious as to whether the AI knows how to handle the war?

Well, I did a two month AI to AI test. The Allied AI was slow to respond, mainly trying to build up Pearl into a submarine base and cram assets into it. The Japanese AI had taken most of Luzon, and had forced a beachead into China. After Mike Wood finishes up the code I'll do a final batch of tests, but from what I have played so far the AI will still put up a good fight, thought the game may not last the full 4 and a half years. To fully see how the AI handles, I'd read the AI vs AI AAR I posted, it gives a fairly good view, though I did weaken Shanghai's defenses a little, to let the AI get a foothold. Also, I've noticed that sometimes it goes for Shanghai, other times Tsingtao. It still has a few kinks, but nothing that shouldn't be ironed out by release.

Yeah, I read that. Nice little preview, but not enough perspective for me to get the overall picture. But hey, as long as it's eventually willing to "come get some" I'll be happy.[:D]

Well, this weekend I'll try and let it run for a bout 4 or 5 months, see what it does. Then I'll post up an AAR. Besides, Ive made a lot of changes since then so I need to see what all happens anyway.

[von Murrin]

Cool.

Have fun and don't lose.[:'(]

[Tankerace]

LOL, I'll do an AI vs AI, so I can sleep and see what both AI's will do.

[von Murrin]

Even better.[:)]

I'll quit replying now so you can get on with life.[:D]

[Tankerace]

What's life? I have no life outside of wargaming and music [:D]
