@VictoryFirst I replaced all references to "placeNoAir" to "place" and added <attachment foreach="$All-Players$" name="rulesAttachment" attachTo="@All-Players@" javaClass="RulesAttachment" type="player"> <option name="placementAnyTerritory" value="true"/> </attachment>

@TheDog said: Claude-AI/NavalAgent needs guidances (helping hand) as to what is important to players. Then o It knows the value of capitals, and of production points per territory (it uses 1 inf per pu). it doesn't really concider vc's yet. those are tricky, because they aren't worth anything until a VC snipe is on the cards. for example, if I'm Germany and besieging moscow, on pace to take in say 2 turns turns. I don't care if USA can trade Italy, France and Karelia, unless they also have a bunch of VC's on the other side of the map. The bot does check the win condition ahead of its turn so it will try to retake a VC if it is about to lose, but will not plan around VC Play.

@RogerCooper said: more sense to have the executive module set a broad plan and then the other modules figure how to execute the plan. I was thinking that the plan would be more emergent rather than preset if it was set by local processes, but maybe you're right. I will try both ways. The issue with global plannig i think will be getting the nescessary information to the executive and have it analyze that info appropriately without just simulating all possibilities (which isn't possible.) My account is drained of tokens now, so progress is on temporary hiatus.
