Favorite Settings for Sandbox Play?
Posted: Sun Apr 19, 2015 10:04 am
I'm curious as to if anyone has any good advice for how to set up the objectives, timing, scores, etc. for sandbox play that will optimize the AI's ability to fight at the Corps/Army Level. I know an AI isn't a human being of course, but Norb's AI is absolutely fantastic and given the right conditions, can really put a whooping on somebody. Given the wrong conditions, it can be head scratchingly dumb. Which of course is completely understandable. I don't expect a human like AI, I simply would like to know a few starting conditions that would have the best chance of creating a battle that the strat level AI wouldn't have too many problems handling in a sensible manner, rather than some of the odd things I have seen above division level. Some battle it seems like there really is a general controlling the entire side in some manner, and others it seems like the divisional commanders are independents just moving around the field at random making them vulnerable to defeating in detail.
The question is, what are some of the communities favorite settings for Sandbox play regarding number of objectives, scoring, time to hold, etc. that makes for the most interesting play against the AI? It stand to reason that the AI would do better in some setups than others. I figure that the best battle for the AI would be a fairly linear arrangement of objectives set towards the center of the map. But how many objectives would be reasonable? Also, I'm still trying to figure out how scoring works regarding objectives, best score limits, etc.
A little advice would be very helpful.
Thank you
