      Hi all
      I hope i can reach some AI specialists out there.
      I have 3 problems wich are frustrating and difficult to get information about and eventually get a workaround.

      1. AI amphibious non-combat transport
      The AI seems either not to be able or willing to move the following unit by sea transport in non-combat. It moves it only by land.

      <attachment name="unitAttachment" attachTo="TrenchInf" javaClass="games.strategy.triplea.attachments.UnitAttachment" type="unitType">
      <option name="attack" value="0"/>
      <option name="defense" value="3"/>
      <option name="movement" value="1"/>
      <option name="transportCost" value="3"/>
      <option name="isLandTransportable" value="true"/>
      <option name="canNotMoveDuringCombatMove" value="true"/>
      *(tested with and without construction addon)
      *<option name="constructionType" value="Trench"/>
      *<option name="maxConstructionsPerTypePerTerr" value="10"/>
      *<option name="constructionsPerTerrPerTypePerTurn" value="1"/>
      </attachment>
      

      Q1
      Could be canNotMoveDuringCombatMove preventing the AI to perform normal amphibious non-combat moves with this unit ?

      It seems the only reason i can see. Eventually AA related problem.
      This would be one rare instance of modding the game in which I would have to dismiss a whole simple unit concept. Because if i can do it, AI should do it aswell !

      2. AI construction placement
      The AI is only placing constructions (like bunker) on territories containing a factory.

      Q2
      Any idea of how to get AI placing a construction on territories without factory ?

      The only thing what i could think of is a rule thing going on or it is something about the tactical AI itself.

      <property name="More Constructions with Factory" value="true" 
      <property name="More Constructions without Factory" value="true"
      <property name="Unlimited Constructions" value="false"
      

      3. Ingame: Debug -> Hard AI Settings -> AI Logging
      ->Efficieny values !?

      Gathered data from different basic unit example variations out of AI Logging to help reading:
      Example land units (movement ignored: doesnt change Efficiency)

      A/D @ PUs = hitPointEfficiency - attackEfficiency - defenseEffieciency
      1/1 @ 1 PU = 1.4 ---------------- 5.0 --------------- 5.0
      1/1 @ 2 PU = 0.7 ---------------- 2.5 --------------- 2.5

      2/2 @ 1 PU = 1.8 ---------------- 8.0 --------------- 8.0
      2/2 @ 2 PU = 0.9 ---------------- 4.0 --------------- 4.0

      1/2 @ 1 PU = 1.6 ---------------- 6.0 --------------- 7.0
      1/1 @ 4 PU = 0.35 --------------- 1.25 ------------- 1.25
      1/2 @ 4 PU = 0.4 ---------------- 1.5 --------------- 1.75

      I see a pattern, but........math is not my strength

      Q3+++
      How does the engine get to those numbers ?
      Formula ? Code ?
      Are those numbers in any way responsible for the purchase behavior of the AI ?
      How and when does the AI take into account movement when purchasing units ?

      I hope someone can look into this
      Thanks for reading
