ministers overrule my changes!!
Posted: Oct 21 2005
region ai should be fixed to take players changes as law. they can tweek but not counter a decision the player makes. for instance i set the unit none on independent action and the ai minister set it at low and charged my naval task force right up into the enemies shore where they where all wiped out. this counter activity cant be tolerated. i almost dont want to play anymore. another thing is regional ai should also be asking and giving stuff not just sitting like a bump on a log. seems like the ai does a huge buildup and throws everything at you. not realistic. wars usually start slow and small. the military reaction should be in proportion to the importance of the reason for the conflict. this way you can enjoy a low intensity conflict or insurgency and then develop into a hot war. tech research takes too long and is restricted by how much you can invest in it. the game usually doesnt last long enough for small regions to make any progress at all in the research department. this should be fixed. half the research time please. game would have the element that you originally intended if you do decrease research times. when i went to war in every senario everybody went to war against me. ai should warn first like in real life and if you take appropriate steps war is averted. if not then it is war. there should be a way to negociate in world market to elicite aid during war or explain why you must go to war and world market ai does not shut you off completely unless the target is very important to them. regions out of favor with world market should not be protected by world market with sactions for military action against them and there should be a way to tell by the level of relations between regions including world market to see if you can go to war without damaging repurcussions that shut your country down and prevent a good ol war. some or all of these issues should really be addressed soon. i am losing some interest in the game. please pass this on to someone who can make a difference in the game. thanks.
