Sorry for complaining but....playing GC as Germans, settings Line vs Line, force morale on and timer 15 minutes

Still holding the Valkensward after five battles with just a Command team and a Ad-hook unit...the britts never attack! dont even see them on the map :(

Even changed the Valkensward VL to 200 p, but nothings happen...same with Eindhoven! holding the map with an Mg34, 1 Command team, 1 Ad-Hoc and 2 88 FlaK. The AB troops is hiding in the buildings in the north of the map and never attacks.... Crying or Very sad

I thought the AI was improved in this new version..for me it feels worse than in CCTLD, but i could be wrong...

The tactical AI for all the "CC5-enhanced engine" re-releases offer a good challenge only of you're playing as the attacker.
Unfortunately lots of Ops and GCs involve attack and counter-attack scenarios Rolling Eyes

Vetmods can boost the AI to be more aggressive...but Vetmod AI is not suited for scenarios where the AI is supposed to defend Wink

Besides giving best and more units to AI and worse/less units for the player...Vetmods (I don't know about your own vetmod, Firefox) also code infantry as vehicles (in the SAI data)...this tweak alone makes them more aggressive in attacking...this gives the AI that boost in aggresivenes.
"Infantry coded as vehicles" cannot enter buildings though...so these Vetmods are better suited for non urban maps.

I think the extreme length of the Valkensward map exacerbates the AI's problems. The fact that XXX corps starts on this map and the AI getting stick there has a crippling effect on the Allies further emphasizes the problem.

Could be a fix/work around on this map would free up XXX corps and drastically improve AI Allied performance overall. I guess we could test that by starting a GC as Germany and disbanding the unit on Valkensward and seeing if XXX corps simply becomes stuck the next time they meet any opposition

Or you could just play H2H !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Sapa · Rep: **76.3** votes: 8

Valkensward is i a beautiful map! it would be a shame to take it way...

Maybe i would like to try removing the four VL:s on the way, just leaving entry point in the south and change the village VL to 200p and see what happens?

Changed VL:s on destructible bridges to 200 p and it seems to have som positive effect on the attacking AI. Now when the game is so easy modable i dont know how to remove VL:s Shocked

...can i just remove them in the BTD with excell??

I have been thinking about it and I think that would be fun some as the old CC2 game with the new maps, perhaps un ABTF with the new maps but only 28 maps. I have written it on my future mods list.

easily and quickly edited with exel (less than 5 min)

try this sap

backup your original btd first

schrecken · Rep: **195** votes: 15

remember to start a new GC or you could be in trouble with the btd

schrecken · Rep: **195** votes: 15

sorry, forgot the 200pt VL

Sapa · Rep: **76.3** votes: 8

Thanks!

Will try it!

Tried myself but after deleting the four VL:s the game crashed.. Embarassed

schrecken · Rep: **195** votes: 15

Did you change the control 9 to a 5?

Have a look at WaR or tLD workbook for an explanation of BTD's

Sapa · Rep: **76.3** votes: 8

got it!

Played a 15 minutes singlebattle with the changed VL:s and i am sad to say that it doesent seem to have any impact at all!
Moved all my Germans to the north, just leaving a recon squad in the middle of the map, played with the enemy shown to see what happens..

2 minutes: 1 Brengroup and 1 Firefly started to move North
5 minutes: still moving North, the rest of the Britts are just waiting
7 minutes: my German recon took out the Brengroup and the Firefly fleed to the south!
10 minutes: Two more UK teams moved to the north to first bridge and then run home (without getting any fire)
15 minutes: No more action, just teedrinking i suppose..

I am sorry to say that this is a disaster for the GC play, no use in playing as Germans if the XXX Corps doesent attack! Crying or Very sad

Took me 4 battles until the XXX coprs in Valkensward even fired a shot at me, and they still only had reached the second small bridge! Mad

One thing that annoys me is that the AI during strat moves is a coward! Mad

2nd Para Btn has an open road to Arnhem road brige, yet he doesn't make a dash for it!
I even tried to remove ALL german BGs that were close to Arnhem to try to give 2nd Para some sense of security, but 2nd Para still have a cup of tee in east Oosterbeek.
Why? Crying or Very sad

And once XXX reaches Eindhoven they decide that the city is a great place and fudge the entire operation. Checking 3 days later (21 sep) they were still in Eindhoven! Shocked

Make the AI more agressive and smarter, please! Crying or Very sad

The fun about OMG is to try to stop XXX corps to reach Arnhem, not to wait for it to come out of Eindhoven. Confused

Otherwise good game. Very Happy

Sapa · Rep: **76.3** votes: 8

Yes i love it to! Very Happy

Thats why im so frustrated about this entry battle!!! changing the VL doesent seems to help... now i will look in the Base files (it should be nice to have the workbook Wink

)

(My Ostgotisk brain is going overheated right now!)
