Single-Player AI - Deploying Better

[Davinci]

Norb and Team ,

There is no mention about it in the readme file, but has the AI been updated, they appear to be deploying a lot better than I remember.

They are also spreading out in a larger front, which is great!

Maybe... :laugh:

Actually, you never know what Norb could have done behind the scenes.. But as far as I know, nothing was done to improve that area. Although as it has happened in the past, fixing something unrelated could have improved the AI deployment.

Although I've only played a few games with the 1.5 patch, I also see the regiments spreading out better. It mimics the deployment seen on historic battlefield maps much better. Also the AI seems to take a better account of fences and other cover. As a consequence, there are far fewer melees. Only more play will confirm these observations, but if true, it will be a very significant upgrade. Well done.

Now, that I think about it, if Norb was working on the Replay feature and noticed that during the replay that the units were bunching-up, he may have improved the AI to spread out better.

Oh…Well….it works for me , so great job!
