Now is your change to have the kind of CTI mission you like. Well, since you asked.... Politics. Id always wanted a politically driven CTI that is dynamically driven by events actually taking place on the BattleMap. So alot of Civilians killed by OPFOR during Artillery strike and spotted by Neutral UN type force -they take a financial hit and perhaps stop using that sort of attack for a while at least in that area. This could lead to alot of cat and mouse games trying to lure the enemy AI into a major political mistake via military action. Different AI general leadership personalities could be fun too (Ruthless, Cautious, Fruity, Hasty etc) Lets be honest, modern day warfare rules are determined daily by what is reported and how it is interperated by the world population. Wars have alotta perception rules unless your sadly in Syria when the OPFOR just dont care.. Yeah itd be a beast to code but i'd play the everlovin sex outta it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's quite big thing to implement though so I can't make any promises but I put it in my todo list. I have been thinking similar thing where damage to town buildings reduces the town money income. Just now, froggyluv said: Different AI general leadership personalities could be fun too (Ruthless, Cautious, Fruity, Hasty etc) Yes I have been thinking this too. There could be turtle AI who focuses on strong defenses and large attack strength. Then the opposite AI rusher who sends quick but small attacks. Then balanced AI between the two. And lastly random AI which selects randomly one of those three so player doesn't know how the AI is going to behave in each match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good ideas BTW ! EDIT: I do have one request however .... running this on a dedi and the palaver of steam with dedi servers .... could we please have a googledrive or dropbox update too ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I could add google drive link for the mission it self but Andor's Nato Symbols this mission depends on, is on steam and so is my addon so I don't know what to do about those 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now is your change to have the kind of CTI mission you like. AI routines like back in OFP CTI would be nice: - AI under AI group leader would go for rearm/heal/repair/refuel (requires routines gathering all available asstes and the distance between demanding unit and asset) - AI under human group leader would go for rearm/heal/repair/refuel (requires routines gathering all available asstes and the distance between demanding unit and asset + map view where human group leader can select the unit + asset where to go for logistic action) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also have code to cover broken wheels or men with broken legs to fix them so squad wont get stuck but can move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could make it so that the mission uses the marker mods only if they are installed but then there wouldn't be much variation between group icons but just infantry/motorized/mech/tank which in my opinion is kinda dull :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Already wrote some code for that :) So that's in next release 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gc8 977 Posted January 19, 2019 Hi guys It has been fun coding this mission but unfortunately I am running out of ideas. So if you have any ideas for this mission please let me know and maybe I can put them in the mission and have something to do. :) thx! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Man Without Qualities 110 Posted January 20, 2019 Thanks for the invitation! Attach to some heavy construction vehicles the ability to build extensive fortifications. Real shelters and large bunker which are hard to crack for bombs and arty. Should cost a lot of , also time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, in arma I don't think objects/bunkers can be destroyed... So not sure how to go about that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Man Without Qualities 110 Posted January 21, 2019 There are some destructable buildings...or better after a certain "damage" the change destroyed buildings in several destruction levels. For bunker I do not know if there are some textures for destroyed ones. In CTI some versions adding all kind of objects to passive defense objects and creative users build out of containers, high-rised check points and some other stuff very impressive castles :-). One does not need a WWII bunker pack, already BIS standard objects are fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
