How hard can we make this game? No matter what I do I just can't get the the A.I. player to win a map. Did the game designers actually decided that the human player will never loose? Each attempt I make I set something that is supposed to make the game more difficult.

Here are some examples:
GJS GC, set the slider in favor of the allies, vet mod, deleted all my non motorized infantry companies every turn they show up, and only play with 5 teams. The A.I. player still cant take a map. (using GJSv44 German Vetmod)

I also started SDK with all the hardests settings plus the vet mod, and I just take the default units in every battle, and the A.I. player still can't take the map. (using SDK GerVetmod)

Is it just me or does this game really suck in single player?

I have noticed that a lot of players here turn off moral. Why? It is the only way I can actually get the A.I. to take some victory locations.

What does the vet mods do? I havn't noticed anything.

I must admit I havnt tried playing VetBOB yet, but I have played a dozen of the other mods. I am moving to this one next.

VetBoB took the vet mods one step further, as saying 'well the A.I. sucks even with modified SAI, so let's give every team an enhanced Panzerschreck, 2 MG 42 and they will be 10 men strong'.

I guarantee you will lose at least 2 maps the first day of the campaign. This is for CC4 though, the CC5 version I havn't tried yet but I doubt would be as difficult as the cc4 one.

So you are telling me that cc5 should be harder?

Well I think it depends on how you look at it.

You could say the CC5 version will be harder because you have the possibility to deselect units for your own, but on the other hand with the CC4 version you hardly get complete BG's the first days anyway, and the ones that are mostly complete are filled with crappy units and besides, the Force pool dinamics works better with the CC4 system of Auto-assigning units.

best advice yet.
Another alternative is to look at it like modern armies do - casualty prevention/mission completion, and not withstanding enemy assault.

Is it possible to dispense with the mouse altogether?

U cannot select any team by using the keyboard, you can only command them .... : Cool

Then, it's the only way to make IA stronger Very Happy

Or make a mod with less tanks or less powerful tanks, like KHALKIN GOL or Winter War. Of course, an experienced player will win versus the AI, yet it won't be an easy ride.
