Could yall streamline the single player interface a bit then Kris?

Kris, I don't know whats wrong withthe AI, but I managed to beat it easily in 4 games. I lost 1, due to bad luck. [3 front war]

Take a look at the poll post. I have asked Storm some questions and given some suggestions. Take a look and you might find some clues.

My guesses are that the AI are killing each other before you find them. This behaviour might be aggravated by a very low independent strength setting (0 or 1). Storm used 2 which would affect the game balance a bit, but not nessecarily to the extent that the AI loose every time. Also try with 10 AI players or so. Then there is less chance of them waging war on each other only.

Send over a zip of strangely won games so we can take a look at them (not every game - only strange ones or I'll drown in useless turnfiles ).

In what way? We are open to suggestions, but make it concrete.

I'm thinking, something along these lines...

I'm just crosslinking it in case it was overlooked, as you did ask. Well, you didn't ask me, but I'm loud

perhaps this is already there, and i just cannot see it....but could there be added a "lock" function in the research screen, where you choose what schools to research? It seems that it would make it easier to have certain points going to certain schools...like more than 2 schools being researched at the same time...

perhaps not, but I am just wondering....

you know, like the tech research points lock in some other games (the only one that I can actually think of right now is MoO3...and that is not a good game to use as any example of how to do something....)

Heh, especially since the lock feature in MoO3 didn't even work correctly

EU2 has a lock feature though I think, you could reference that game instead.

I'd like to see this lock feature myself, or a way to enter the value from the keyboard (not +,-), but it's not such a big deal really.

no, not a big deal...but, if it wouldn't take up too many resources and time....i would like to see it added...and yes, EU2 does have a lock feature i believe, that would be the better example....
