Storm of Steel Mod

[panzerjager1943]

I have already began production of my mod and i'm nearly coplete. Though, i am having probles with AI. Everything is working so far (and ill post changes the mod does below) EXCEPT i need help getting the AI to build the new units added AND getting it to build certain units with higher priority.

now, for the changes list...

-Deuce and a half cckw truck added to Allies barracks
-Opel Blitz added to axis Wehrmacht Quarters
-American officer added to HQ, German officer moved to HQ
-All infantry die quicker
-American units are cheaper and their tanks are very inferior to German armour, but since they are VERY inexpensive the player could have 2-3 shermans for every Panzer IV.
-New Unit added: Storm Pioneer (will list unit information below) -AXIS
-New Unit added: Recon Squad (will list unit information below) -ALLIES
-New skin for Knight's Cross Holder (also called Iron Cross Holders now, because Knight's cross usually give to General, you would NEVER have 3 Knight's cross holders fighting side-by-side and it was rare for a knight's cross holder to EVER fight as a foot soldier)
-Volksgrenadiers = VERY VERY CHEAP and SUCKS ALOT. (125 mnpwr, they die VERY quick and only effective in LARGE groups)

Please help me with my AI not building new units and building FEW low price units, and if you have any suggestions, please leave a comment.
This mod IS NOT a TOTAL REALISM mod, and follows the Company of Heroes style and graphics. Minor changes added for fun.

Maybe, add some new units that weren't present in game before. Like Flakk-cannon and Panzerwerfers upgrades for Hanomag, M3 Lee\Grant tank and Volksturm battalion (German super-sux).

We're right now working on the CoH mod that add Russia, so we can unite or tryings in future.

id be glad to provide ideas for the Eastern Front mod, but i have to ask b4 suggesting nething, is your mod a "total realism" or a gameplay enhancement like mine? if it is "total realism" i know alot about Axis Forces, and im also good at game balancing and infantry skining.

um ur point is? i may be making a gameplay enhancement mod, but doz this mean i cant help him out with his total realism? this is Storm of Steel mod, and we were talking about his Eastern Front mod.

Storm of Steel mod is delayed due to the production of The Cross of Iron (which is nearly done, and i havent started a forum on) and "Company of Heroes: Winter Storm". Eventually, Storm of Steel will be finished and Cross of Iron will have a Winter expansion.

Ah......actually,when you wrote down all the things that will be new or changed in your mod I saw something about "New skin for Knight´s Cross Holders".And you also said that the Knight´s Cross was only given to the generals.Maybe, but they were also given to soldiers who showed remarkable bravery and skill.Doesn´t have to be a general always.Um.......what else ? Knight´s Cross Holders also served as a assault infantry,one of the best or Panzer Commanders.If you don´t believe me you can go to this site and see for yourself.Here is the authenticate Knight´Cross Holder uniform. AN ASSAULT UNIFORM.

hey, thx for ur info, but knights cross were the highest rank of iron cross available, and i dont think any Grenadiers (private) were awarded it. The "Assault Uniform" is also that of a Tank Crew, never used by Basic Soldier.

Uh........I meant no disrespect.Btw I know all this coz I have learned it at school.All WW .So I know that the things were as they were back then.And you said,I quote " I don´t think "......That means that you don´t know.I was just bringing up the facts.No bad intentions from me by saying this.

[panzerjager1943]

btw, when it says "assault uniform" it is refering to "assault" gun, such as a Sturmgeschutze IV. i apologize if u understood my writing as being offensive to you, but i had no intention, and was only interested in having a conversation.

Ok.....I wont say a word.....everybody has a right to their own opinion.
