AI Wont transport Garrison Units

Post by Lothos »

Noticed the AI never transports Garrison units. Would suggest the ability to transport only garrison units so it can perhaps be used to garrison Islands etc.... Perhaps modify the transport command to allow the selection of a specific unit.

This would come in handy in the Pacific, you can tell the AI to use Garrison units to protect the islands instead of actual units. It would also help (for example Japan). You can tell Japan to send Garrison units into China to help protect the border so the better units can get freed up.

I would have to have a think about this one as I can see the merit of being able to do what you've proposed, however all Transport plans currently will try and add any non-core units to the plan, even if it is a Transport Minor plan, such as Anti-Air, Artillery, Rail Gun, Coastal Gun, Rockets, Armoured Train, Anti-Tank, Airships, Fighters, Tactical Bombers, Medium Bombers, Strategic Bombers, Maritime Bombers, Kamikazes etc.

The only exception being that a Transport Minor plan will not try and add an HQ to it.

This is currently why Garrisons are not included by the AI to do any transports as it could be potential overkill.

Not ideal, but a work around would be to use the UNIT event to drop a Garrison unit in the desired locations for now.
