Feature request: Pick the order of battles (already exists)

@lkb2k Hi! Merged 2 into -Lkb#2721.

Hi guys, first post. I did try searching but didn’t come up with anything but apologize if this has been covered before!

I play regularly with a couple buddies and we’ll often team up as either the Allies or Axis and play the AI. The AI has a couple odd quirks that we don’t get. Just curious if anyone had any input on this.

When the AI is running the US it almost never defends the East Coast and the Capital! If you invade Alaska as Japan the AI will stack 40 units on the West Coast and leave nothing or very little on the East Coast. So you just roll through Canada and walk in. It does this consistently.

It often doesn’t make much effort to retake a captured Capital. We see this when the AI runs Germany often. It will have plenty of units available to retake Germany, but it doesn’t commit everything.

I mean, we know it’s AI, but there are humans involved in the programming somewhere. These seem like major glitches that have been in place for a long time now.

@blaisous All done now!

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Thank you!

@Naqataro If you still want the game removed, please message me your Commander Name, ID, and the game title.

Not sure I have any other suggestion for you, considering you’ve tried the AppData deletion already.

Does the problem still persist? Maybe it was a short outage/server lag 5 hours ago.

Yeah, the current system is pretty annoying. Even after having worked a management-level position in a game development company I’m still amazed by the odd UI quirks that end up in games. I’m always running across things that make me think ‘how did the developers themselves not find this immediately annoying and try to fix it’?, like having your ships decide to move to the ‘wrong’ (from your view) SZ by default.
