Hi, I wonder how I can make artificial intelligence Malcesine much faster, is that I have changed several prerequisites in the game by the Allies to delay in building the battle lab and some of the Soviets never even built. thanks in advance.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Are you asking if there's a way to make the AI build their base more intelligently?

Offtopic: Seriously, over a week and nobody even bothered to reply, even for clarification?

Just FYI, he asked me for help last night. He was using TibEd and his English was hopeless. If you still want to help him, good luck.

[Yurisarmy]

Ok, so he's not left still hangin' then. That's my only gripe, English-speaking or not, as long as they're recognized. It just seemed that way, and being ignored is not something I take lightly, personally.

Back on topic, any idea what he was after?

<DCoder> hello
<AlexB> hi
<cang3l> hi
<cang3l> i have a complication with the prerequisites
<cang3l> can you help me?
<DCoder> we can try
<cang3l> great
<cang3l> !
<cang3l> when i play wit the ai,
<cang3l> when i play counter the soviet ai, it dont build the battle lab
<cang3l> and the allies take a long in build it
<cang3l> like yuri
<DCoder> what did you change in the buildings list?
<cang3l> I have not noticed
<cang3l> I'll see
<cang3l> not works
<DCoder> what?
<cang3l> the soviets didnt build the battle lab
<DCoder> I got that part
<DCoder> I asked, what did you change in the buildings list, compared to an unmodified one?
<cang3l> no, i did not modify the building list, i just have add anothers
<DCoder> can we see your rules?
<DCoder> post them on pastebin or our forums
<cang3l> i will upload please wait
<cang3l> http://www.gigasize....p?d=7c5cv1vwmxd
<cang3l> this is it
<DCoder> okay
<DCoder> we'll take a look at it
<DCoder> does your AI have enough room for the base?
<DCoder> can you build it when you play as the same country?
<cang3l> yes, the ai have enough space and i can build normally but the ai not
<cang3l> i am using tibed
<DCoder> we don't support tibed
<cang3l> tibed is a simple modificator of rules, sound and art.ini nothing more
<cang3l> not is a patch
<DCoder> I know what it is
<DCoder> it doesn't change the fact that we don't support tibed
<cang3l> uh, okay
<cang3l> so, can you help me?
<DCoder> not while you're using tibed
<cang3l> this no is a problem
<DCoder> Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
<cang3l> tibed creates trash code, and that complicates me
<cang3l> i dont undestand your question
<DCoder> you don't seem to understand that we won't help you while you're using tibed either
<cang3l> i will not use tibed
<DCoder> you already used it, so it contaminated your rules with its crap code
<cang3l> okay

yes, the question is how to make enemies faster build their bases, sorry for my bad English in this forum, I know that there are members from different countries and languages but make an effort to communicate, I take more seriously spellings.

[Yurisarmy]

Ok, that makes much more sense. I work with a language barrier all the time since I moved to Japan two months ago.

As far as I'm aware, AI build speed can't really be changed, just what they build for what purpose. I think they already build bases insanely fast. You could try putting your structures currently in PrerequisiteTech= into PrerequisiteFactory= along with the war factories and see if that influences the AI to build them sooner.

The AI clearly doesn't bother with TechLevel= so messing with that will most likely do nothing.

I would also recommend not using TibEd. I learned coding by diving into the INIs and figuring it out, watching others and trial and error.

Sure you can change AI's Build speed for its bases under difficulties

; BuildSlowdown = Should the computer build slower than the player (def=no)?
; <<< affects the computer player, not the human player >>>
; BuildTime = speed of construction for AI bases

value of 1.0 means normal construction rate like players, just note that difficulties are in reverse when it comes to player and AI.

[Yurisarmy]

Doh!
That too. Totally forgot that bit. Well I suppose you could try my idea if you want the AI to somehow build the Lab before the War Factory for whatever reason.

Is BuildSlowDown relative to the human player? I.e. If you're trying to build slower than the AI that has that set, will the AI adapt to attempt to 'out-slow' you?
