@RogerCooper said in US Fast AI in Big World is awful: @ubernaut The Hard AI can play slowly on a large map. You can try giving the US the Hard AI, but it will not always give better results. Actually I found the only way to win being only the Russians or UK or US is to also take control of the Chinese, since no Chinese AI will ever hold the country longer than 5-6 turns. After beating "Fast AI" up and down, I am doing the same with "Hard AI". However when I play as Russians (and Chinese), the UK and US "Hard AI" are just awful. I'd say worse than the "Fast AI". UK lost Aus/India/Africa and isn't really helping in Europe, while the US just d*cks around in the Pacific not really accomplishing much. Meanwhile the full weight of the German army is bearing down on Russia and I can only last for so long....

@Frostion thanks for the info I wasn't sure. Yeah in the yaml its version 1 so I'll pull it now and update it. I've already updated the repository on github (getting used to that as I am a noob there too ).

Sure. I'll PM you.

@Frostion and @deanroy it is one of the reasons I love this map

@Frostion - thank you for all the advice on sounds. I finally have everything lined out thanks to your tips and tricks! I'll be updating Twelve Clans later with music and sounds.

@Cernel Thanks for the reply. I was playing on the New World Order (ver 1.8.7) map, but then tried with The Rising Sun (ver 1.9.3), and obtained the same result. Besides updating the game app, I downloaded new copies of these two maps as well. Meant to have written that in the first place as well, but forgot to.

Me too - this has some intriguing applications...

Anybody on this thread still looking for an opponent? I'm new to the forum, and I'm not sure which map you mean, but count me in.

I doubt it would make better combats. Expensive units are already mostly redundant and this property would make them even worse since they could get hit too before sacrificing cannon fodders. But the on the other hand battles would force people to adopt more different situations plus no cheesy boring attaks like 2 inf+1 fighter anymore.

@felizardo You should also check out the Fast AI. It plays almost as well and it usually much faster.

@RogerCooper Hi Roger, Actual Cernel answered my question for me. I had inadvertently left some of the original authors units in the unit folder. That is why they were appearing in "unit help". I think my version is ready to go.

Ah yes.. I see the problem. I have a local copy of the xml and "unit" folder for development purposes and I have simply been adding my new units to the existing folder in the actual game. I see the original author of this game did have these two units in the folder. If I move them out.. the problem is solved! Thanks. Also, I agree it would be better to look at production frontier, but minor problem. Thanks for the help. I think my new version is ready to release to the public.

Testing Forum poster Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.9, time: 3:25:17 PM Savegame

@LaFayette ... Like @Panther I also use the history bar / history mode quite often. And it is a little nuisance to have to travel to the menu dropdowns everytime. It could be nice to test out a version of TripleA that had a left side bar with easy accessible history mode. I could easily imagine a colapsable history mode that opened up to fill 100% of the left bar and collapsed to the buttom. In regards to what is added to the two sidebars, could it be possible to have game settings ("Game Screen"?) that could switch these things on /off? Maybe the customization options of unit text size, color, flags etc. could also fit into the same category. Basicly all visual stuff, sidebars and controls. EDIT: Tabs might be just as good
