Scripting Front Stability

[ChrisND]

OK folks, now that the basic AI script framework has been set down, it's time to fine tune it so that the AI only goes on the offensive or the defensive at the proper time.

This script I wrote up for Germany sealions. Many of the other scripts are similar in appearence. The gist of the long crap at the end is that it indicates that the Eastern front is stable; basically that all captured cities thus far are still held by Axis, and that they are not tactically threatened by land forces, AND that there are no allied troops in France, Germany, Spain, or Italy.

If anyone else has some scripting tricks that simulate front stability, please let me know!
