Flames in Modern Europe · published · build 25211175
I greet you again, dear players! I am very glad to release a new update that significantly improves the military AI, making wars many times more difficult, and also adds many improvements and fixes to battles and brigade management! In addition, it also fixes other bugs and shortcomings, although not as significant as before, because thanks to previous patches there are no longer such critical bugs in the game!
Now you can see the number of brigades located in one province. This is a very useful change that makes army management much more pleasant and convenient!
Now the AI is able to conduct some rather complex military operations, in particular, it can break out of semi-encirclements, and even forms strike fists to rescue already encircled comrades! In addition, the AI now focuses on the strength of your brigades, trying to attack your weakest points. It is also worth noting the rework of the battle script. For the player, this will mostly be expressed in their longer duration. In addition, the most expensive logic of related scripts has been completely reworked, thanks to which the duration of a “tick” has been reduced. In simple words, now the AI thinks and sends orders to its troops more often! And this is really important, because now all troops move across the map faster. All this makes wars much more difficult, but at the same time more interesting.
As is known, to declare war your relations must be worse than -50. Now the AI understands what you are planning and sends troops to the border with you already at relations of -40. So, capturing an unprepared country in a couple of days will no longer work...
This update also fixes and improves quite a few other things. For example, the cooldowns of the debt menu have been reworked — you can finally declare defaults! Also, the brigade logic has been heavily reworked. For you this will not be something very noticeable, but it had to be done to improve optimization and fix a bug due to which troops teleported to the center of the map after disabling the interface with F2. Also, bugs with exiting the army menu have been fixed, and an annoying bug that occurred while typing a template name. By the way, now data on the number of brigades and manpower is also updated while creating brigades, so that you can orient yourself more conveniently! Finally, saving and loading of flags has been added, and now brigade flags are updated together with the country.
Well, and below you can, as always, see the full list of changes:
