How White AIs are performing?

Southern White AI has been rather subpar until now. I don't worry that much as some reports from other games have showed better performance but I will have to look at.

On the contrary, Siberian AI is aggressive and well focused: it has captured Ufa, Saratov, holding Penza and menacing Kazan by the South. Two turn earlier, I tried to capture Syzran which was unoccupied, in the back of a large Czech formation at Penza: the AI came back to Syzran with a part of this force and broke my counterstrike...



The results in early September 18 shows my moral has plumeted to 93, due to defeats, military reforms, conscriptions. I can't afford to go under 90. My units, with their low cohesion, are per se very brittle and a low NM will just amplify that during battles.

Siberian AI leads in VP and gets more of them than me...

I've found why Southern White AI performance was mediocre. Not a bug but the left-over of an old try about AI events. Interestingly, this event was an attempt to enhance AI by colsely scrpted behaviour....Scripted reactions for AI will never work [:)] Fortunately, this was the only one remaining of the few I wrote, tested, and discarded.

Of course, as usual with SEPRUS, the new patch 1.03a has fixed some bugs...and introduced a new, affecting only battles display during the turn resolution:

From time to time, SEPRUS should play RUS. It could help debug process [8|]

Death to Popov!



I've restarted a new RED test game after applying soe changes. Southern AI plays better. Among other new features, Reds get 10 VP each turn the military reform isn't chosen ( balance purpose), and some little fixes here and there. Then German Freikorp risks to lose Morale from mid-19 ( historical features, as Von den Golz tried to attack Estonia, when his men were tired of war and waiting the land in Lithuania it have been promise when they enrolled...

So no portrait needed? [;)]

If you have time and if the model isn't too low quality, I will take it [:)]

Here the Southern White AI advance on Ekaterinodar in Juley 18

Did one yesterday.

It did not look so bad or I think that there are already worse portraits in  the game...

The problem is more the "sailor look". He was a sailor in  the baltic, but I guess he did not wear the sailor clothes later [:'(]

Will post it tomorrow, I am at work now, all the day [:(]

Thanks [:)] Bah, there were some Anarchist sailors in Moscow insurrection [:D]

BTW, I've deactivated my login at Ageod forum since a few days. I'm lurking here from time to time (there's from time to time some interesting posts and patches [:)]) but I don't have anymore access to my box on AGEOD. That's simple, it suffices to create an unknown password. So please use my private box here if needed.

OK.

Here is Popov, no faction name given to the files.

And of course no obligation to use it if you do not like [;)]


You may also use the other portraits done by me, Kudinov, Kanin and Bischoff have no portrait in the game. Syrovy, U-S and Zemitans have, but I think the new are better, just IMHO, of course [:)]

Great. Next version will have a sailor on the Moskowa then [:)]

Just a side note: if the sells of RUS are low, how to explain SEPRUS has bnever been posting here, when Matrix forums are very frequented? [:D]

But who is SEPRUS?

Already asked this months ago and you said it was a shared support account, but Catlord disappeared, so is he SEPRUS?

Is my intuitive observation (ie. not checked) correct that NW replacements are costlier than others?

Who is Catlord? [:D]

Back to more serious thing than this ( for info, just read the end of this post...It gives a short idea of the reality). Time to stop to argue with them. Life is better without.

The more serious thing: Popov in situation:



Not that bad [:)]







Thanks Nikel.

Once I've finished to test it, I will release the new version.

Catlord (Thomas Corriol) is one of the developers, the other is Seb (Sébastien Lebourcq)

Posted an analysis of what happened with with the developers team, am I wrong? [:'(]

Yes indeed. Yudenich army was about 25,000 strong at his peaK; I could have reduced the unit pool, but I prefered upping unit cost to let player choice to build a stronger army ( rationale being these units would be made of ex-POWS, volunteers coming from far, hence the higher cost [:)]

I will not comment anymore about. If I really don't believe one second to their statements, I just don't have any more interest in. If moderation is smart, they will close this thread soon. The sooner the better. For the rest, facts are stubborn and unfortunately for some yet at work since some months.

New Fatal Years version released on my blog ( see my sig).

What's new?

- Better Southern Whites AI at start
- Revised slighty 2 Red options: not choosing military reform will give 10 VP by turn. Recruit Party members in army will give 2 NM ( better morale in units) but Reds will lose a few loyalty in several industrial cities ( reflecting departure of Bolshevik core to the Army)
- Freikorps will lose NM after June 19, because men were unwilling to fight longer , especially against Estonia.
- fixed one or two glitch.

- Thanks to Nikel, Popov has now his portrait.

[:)]

Compatible with ongoing games.

I haven't fully tested it, by lack of time. I ran a few turns but I haven't done a fresh install of the mod. Let me know if the install file is broken.

Linked on my blog some RCW related movies on Youtube
