AI ships are less aggresive now, for the first time a few enemy warships attacked one of my ports (this time ignored my capitol!). I attacked some cargoships located in one of its cities with 10 cruisers and noticed I lost 2 of them due to artillery counteratacks (there was heavy and light artillery inside), that´s something logical. I know Its planes will always attack any of my ships so all of them were destroyed by my cruisers [:D]

Perhaps this is the time to let AI artillery attack ships (with a reduced accuracy) and keep planes attacking when loads of enemy cruisers are on sight, without any doubt AI will be more challenging.

Has anyone seen evidence that the AI is building aircraft in this public beta (2.15e)? I'm hesitant to update my NATO Counters Mod until I know this issue has been fixed. In one test game I'm playing with 2.15e I've yet to see any AI aircraft.

The AI airbuilding capacity is real but limited: once you destroy its planes the computer needs several turns to recover them. So I don´t have the old feeling of cheating. Any vessel moving around 10 hexes from its airbases is automatically attacked.

Updated the NATO Counters Mod to support 2.15e.

Quick ?:

What specifically are the added checks & execs added with this Beta?

Thanks!

Hi Veni,

There's a new check/exe for HQ/unit supply requirements and one to determine if an officer is currently in the 'pool'.

Cheers,

Thanks, Lancer! [:)]

Since the last time I played a single player game (100% land), I must say the AI is much stronger and smart than before. The AI persist in an aggressive attitude after 30 turns of gameplay [X(], making it difficult to counterattack. Furthermore I haven´t noticed any sign of cheating or strange things.
