Ironman Allied
Posted: Mon Aug 31, 2009 10:32 am
OK Guys I have a few hours while my latest AI v AI test is running so I am starting to build an Allied counterpart to the Ironman Scenario i.e. a scenario playable only v the Allied AI with muchos help for the allies.
Working on it now.
Basic changes
Land
Stronger LCU's (note to modders) replacing an existing unit with a stornger one is the best way to mod the untis and still have the AI work - e.g. take a Gurkha Bn in India make it a Bde and the AI will still work and it will be harder. Add a new unit and you will need to modify the AI.
Starting forces arrive concentrated - USMC Divs especially are hard to recombine because of the time difference in arrival making them all arrive as Divs rather than Regts makes the AI use them better - p.s. it also leaves all those nice slots the Ai will use free for other units....
Sea
Adding most of the uncommitted RN at various points
Adding a few late war never weres to help the AI (Audacious class CV's, more Essex Class, more Midways)
More rebuilt Baltimores and Clevelends
Air
Not much I may play with some arrival dates and replacement rates but apart from CV Sqns no need for more air units
Economy
Not sure yet.
This scenario will really only be v the Allied AI but it will be a nastier better equipped more able to take attritional losses Allied Ai
Anyway working on it now if anyone has any thoughts
