Global 40 Expansion - Excited about first playthrough - questions
-
Looks great, looks like a cool change for someone with time and people to play with. For now, I play alone.
Thank you for a cool game option.
How does AI do in this game? It has a hard enough time with basic and less complicated variants. I've done enough reading to believe that if there was cool AI up to the task, we'd be raising money to use it, so I'm not whining, just wondering where AI capability sits. Thanks -
@martymoose The AI performs reasonably in the Global game and variants there of. If you play only 1 country, with your allies as well your enemies controlled by the AI, you should have fun game.
-
@rogercooper Thanks, so the AI will/can use the available upgrades/armies starting in the turns they are available? Will the game force me (the human) to wait until the appropriate turn to use the upgrades?
-
@martymoose I have another question. All units had a graphic, until I went to buy. Then the buy looked like this some units no longer had images. I'll admit I did edit and activate all technologies for all players before starting the German buy phase. Any thoughts
-
@martymoose Also, the rulebook says Waffen Infantry upgrade cost +1. The game cost is +2
-
Bombers were also missing after activating tech. I used these game options:
If I don't activate tech, the buy looks like this:
Hope this helps 1 error. I did activate Volksturm in the playthrough with all the icons visible (no tech). All other options were the same
-
Last observation, I'll be afk for a few days. After activating all technology, the aircraft ranges didn't change. The icons don't reflect the tech, like they do in other versions of global. I'm using 2.6 14119 and the July 21 map release

The AI follows the same rules a human player does. However, the further the game deviates from the standard boardgame values, the harder time the AI has effectively evaluating units.
Unusual units are handled somewhat better by the Hard AI.

@martymoose just now seeing this. Yea I never tried it with all the techs turned on. There was a problem earlier with the pre release not working right. Try the latest and see if that does it.
Edit
Ah I see you have the latest. I'll check it out soon. I'm still struggling getting the new machine set up. Was working and I did an update and now it doesn't lolDo the Game Notes show up correctly ? Change Log is up to date ?
Edit 2
You had "Basic" Expansion activated and Waffen Inf cost +2 then. -

Yea the images going generic are because those haven't been made to work with the techs that affect them. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'll fix for next update

@beelee Thanks - first time really getting to look again, then life beacons again...
