AI and fog of war

[SMG42]

Hi all,

A simple question: is the AI complying with the Fog of War rule?

[Blashy]

Yes

[Edwin P.]

Do you have the option to turn FOW off for the AI?

[pzgndr]

There's no option to completely turn off FOW for just the AI, but it does get some spotting bonuses at higher difficulty settings.

[Edwin P.]

With the spotting bonus does the AI play a better game?

And at higher difficulty settings does the AI get any other bonuses?

Actually the higher spotting bonuses was under consideration and I guess it still is but currently it has not been implemented.

For now the higher difficulty settings relate to plunder bonuses, i.e. +/- 25% as well as to MPP collection, +10% for each of the Intermediate and Expert levels. Also, if preferred, scripts can be specifically linked to the various difficulty levels.

Thanks for the update, and for the reminder about being able to link AI scripts to various difficulty levels.

I look forward to trying out the game firsthand to see the improvements in the AI.

Perhaps, if the AI needs it, I will write a script that gives the AI a bonus number of Diplomacy Chits or Tech Chits at higher difficulty levels if it is possible to write a script that will only trigger for an AI controlled nation - or if not, I could just turn on a script named Allied AI Bonus or Axis AI Bonus.
