Does the AI actually do this? (and I mean AI run countries other than your own, I know your own def minister will scrap units if you tell him to (set the right policy)
I somehow doubt it, I know it didn't even the players def minister didn't have the ability to in 2020.

More likely the speedup is from massive casualties, countries being eliminated, and the way combat slows down after a point as damaged units go back to reserves and tend to not come back to the front, fuel and ammo runs short and less movement happens, etc.

From other posts I've read, I take it the AI still never checks to see that it isn't in a state of war anymore and can stand down and so once it escalates never drops defcon, reserves units, cuts garrisons, etc. I remember Hullu (or was it Fistalis?) talking about using event 37 (37?) periodicly to force some countries down, since if they were still at war they would just go right back to what they were doing before anyway. Have either of you had any success with that since the last patch?
Think it was 7.3.1 that introduced that when AI units are damage beyond a certain point they will scrap it. Might have been Fistails, I have had plenty of succses with event 37, I especially like to use em in helping the AI improve their economies. They can be used for many purposes, like telling the AI to demobilize/mobilize at certain points.

The issue isn't that they don't stand down after a war. Generally the AI can and will start to reserve units etc. The issue is that no army is big enough for the AI. At no point do they say... hey lets scrap a few old units before we build more. With limited amount of Fabs this is less of an issue.. but it does rear its ugly head in modern settings. With a lull in wars the AI continually pumps out units then when war breaks out you have 99% of them go into action.

Generally Real life armies scrap older units as newer units replace them.
Which is what i've attempted to do in the latest modern world mod (for the big 3 that is). How successful I was I can't tell you because I haven't had time to really test it long term lol.

As hullu pointed out though thats only one of many uses for event 37.. which has a multitude of uses in all aspects of AI management.

This can be discussed futher elsewhere My intention isn't to hijack hullus thread. [_]OT

I have the release candidate ready, done lots of stuff and 'polishing', in need of someone to help me test the game, tell me if it contains bug and if there's something I thought I fixed but actually didn't get fixed :-)
Anyone willing to help me in this?

Going ahead with the release on the weekend :-)

did vote, im trying the mod right now will let u know what i think.

one thing u should considure changing is adding SAO Kraina (independet autonomus regoin Kraina) it is the serb republic in croatia insted of the serbian troops and placment of croatian trops needs adjusting especialy near dubrovnik. just place small number of troops in dubrovnik and in other towns and near border with SAO kraina. and SAO kraina need to get areas of eastern croatia (evrything below vinkocvi and vukovar). can u put serbia in role of suporter of war and not the waring party, shee needs to send troops to help serbs in bosnia and croatia but not actualy participate by capturing teritory.

does it work completely on older saves, or just some features, or none at all?

I would say some features, like AI behavior, graphics, UI but basically no, you however still play older saves in newer versions despite not getting all the new features for that save
