DS Phelps Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I've been playing with developing scenarios, watching the AI and how it pitifully attacks (can't imagine any armies attacking like that in real life) and was wondering if there are any scenarios that really highlight how to make good attacks using the AI. I've learned a few tricks, but would like to see a scenario that does it well. Only have BO at this time, but maybe CMAK soon. This reminds me of another question: Does the AI improve in BB or AK? (Don't want to sound too harsh. I'm sure it was tough for the designers to make the AI even as good as it is). Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 When you get CMAK I could recommend Small Battles Epirus and Small Battles The Transvaal Scottish Hold.....all have an a strong AI attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS Phelps Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 Thanks, Hans. After all those scenarios you've done, there are none in BO that you thought put up a good attack? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simovitch Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 try my "HSG B Fighting Withdrawal" on the scenario depot. The reviews say it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Well DS Those were built a long time ago and I focused more on the IP/PBEM capacity at that time however you could try: Bone dry and Hurtin as the US vs the German AI Village Fracas as either side versus the AI Pissing off the Pope US vs German AI Pissing and Village have been remade in CMAK, Bone dry is in the shipyard awaiting conversion. Oh yes the HSG suggestion is good too, played that and found it rewarding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Russian Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 If you get CMBB the HSG Knights Cross series is known for the AI fighting. You could give them a try. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McAuliffe Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 I was always amazed about the way the AI made his attack in my CMBO-scenario GRAND HALLEUX. It was designed to play as a human player against attacking AI led forces. You can read for your self the AAR 's and comments of some very nice people -well some of them- at the Scenario Depot, look under CMBO-battles and select index "G" or search for "grand halleux" Or you can look at some previews and settings at my web-page, see link below. Download available at both sites. Play as US against AI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS Phelps Posted February 13, 2005 Author Share Posted February 13, 2005 Thanks all for the suggestions. I will check them out. In fact, I'm going to go look up Grand Halleux right now. Getting the AI to fight right in CM is an interesting challenge. I'm enjoying look at the way others did it and developing a map myself which will draw the AI into a fight that makes logical sense and isn't just throwing lots of firepower at me. When they come out with the next version of CM I have one major wish for the AI--and that is that improve command and control. One of the things I can't believe when I see it is how the squads just amble away from their platoon leader. After all the talk we hear about how important it is to keep radio contact.... This one improvement would make a BIG difference in how the AI holds up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Thorne Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 For cmbb check out Dukla pass Slovak uprising at The Proving Grounds . Or straight link Dukla Pass - Slovak Uprising Allied Ai throws a good attack and you´ll find yourself fighting all over the map while struggling to get your troops to the frontline. Use +1CEB and you´ll have great fun. -LT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
