Marshall,

I see this happening with Great Britain more than anyone else.

Great Britain surrenders to France. As France, I remove fleets, Nelson, and take a 36 month peace. The next 36 months, no British Corps show up in Britain. Cities are garrisoned, but COrps are placed (and presumably) reinforced in places like Gibraltar, or Sweden if it is a British Controlled Minor.

In One game where I was Austria, I beat France, who surrendered unconditionally to me, and then next 36 months garrisons popped up in France, but French Corps were placed in Denmark.

Theres also a relative issue, in that after a country surrenders, the next economic phase a garrison of 25 milita shows up in their capital. A Country Like Prussia, I can see that happening. England? Not so much.

If I encounter this phenomena again I'll save it.

Can you see her building fleets? The AI may be too scared of France's ground strength thus building for defense only OR trying to replace her fleets.

Marshall,

I do not see any fleets being built.

Attached is a game where I am playing Austria. Britain surrendered earlier in the game to France. All of Britain's land builds have been placed in Sweden.

Todd:
 
Very odd indeed??? The AI is building and placing based upon existing depot locations???
Appreciate the save here. Good game to eval AI building strategy.
BTW: Did you ever see GBR place a depot in her home nation?
 
 

To be honest, I wasn;t really paying attention.

I've just noticed that after the initial surrender, the country (France and Britain both) do not place any home nation depots if they have one outside their country after a surrender.

I've seen games with all the British army in Gibraltar, and the entire french army in Sweden.

FWIW, I also noticed GB not building much after surrendering to France, before. In my current game GB surrendered to France again. (I'm thinking I should disable the Lille crossing for AI games until GB is smart enough to defend it.) Anyway, with this latest 1.02g version when I looked over to GB several months after surrender, there were garrisons and corps throughout England for a change. Whatever undocumented AI adjustments were made, there seems to be a noticeable improvement.

I've seen tht as well.

However, Britain also has 6 corps in Gibralatr for no apparent reason as well...
