I did it, but every Allied AI then built a lot of Grand Cannons (Ive added that for Global Dominance mode in V8.5), but it would be nice to get the French only to do it in a normal skirmish mode.

yes, I am doing it so the French AI builds 3 GCs and it is 100% reliable - but technically it's not 3 GCs. Add 2 GC clones, set to TechLevel=-1 and AIBuildThis=yes and it just works. I have the Allied AI build 3 Gap Gens in the same way.

On a debug map I have these buildings using unique UINames so I can see WHEN they build them - and they always build them AFTER building the 'real' ones. Therefore logically. Weird but I'm not complaining.

if you increase those 3 numbers, will the AI build more? or less? thanx again!!

IsBaseDefense=yes

Try that.


Looks like the programers were abit slopy.

Yawn, I got it to work.

I added to the AI build lists like this, I've experianced no bugs with it.

[xcomet]

make the Owner=GDI, will it work in RA2? make all the Allied AI's smarter on base defenses?

[OneWingedAngel]

? The point is to make France a huge turtle of death.


Which is annoying as it's cannons keep killing all my good tanks!!!!

Oh well, get some V3s, they out shoot them in my mod...

Anyhoo, anyone try it yet? did it work?
