I think I am slowly answering my own questions here ... anyone else feel like chiming in??? 1. AI Won't Purchase Troops I think this may be because I ordered all my troops to advance, and you can only buy troops when you are near a barracks/factory etc. So essentially, all of my troops are out in combat with no way to replenish their forces. The obvious way to solve this is to uproot your MHQ each time you take a new town, drive there, and then build a new barracks etc. That way there is always a close source for your team to replenish their forces.

Some comments, though I am still working a lot of this out myself. 3. If you can figure out how to create a general Capture task (I can't, but I have done it by accident once), then the AI will automatically head towards this. You won't need to specify particular Teams follow that objective/waypoint. 4. Under the High Command menu (CTRL+SPACE) there is a section called Teams. If you click on that, you get a list of all Teams and then after selecting one, you can change the Type. Any chance you have answers to some of my questions? 1. AI Won't Purchase Troops I have Teams that have thousands of dollars, but are only half full. They are under AI control, but rarely seem to spend the cash. The base has one of everything bar an airfield, and the buildings are not 'in use', so it is not like they CANT buy troops .. they just don't (at least not as often as they should) 2. Dead Teams Never Reform Once a team loses all of its men, I can not get it to re-hire/re-buy troops. It will just stay with zero troops for ever. I have 3 teams in my current game that have over $10,000 and they won't buy a damn thing. I have tried to re-apply the AI (it was never off), selected Respawn etc without any change. The only work-around I found to this is to buy units myself and then transfer them to the Team with no members. 3. Can't Create New Teams I assume that I should be able to make more than the 8 teams I am assigned at the start of the mission. I have tried purchasing Team Leaders for myself, but can only assign them to a 'colour', not to a new Team (i.e. team number 9etc) 4. Can't Create Capture Points I can set waypoints for Teams and then edit them to say Seek & Destroy, but I can't edit the waypoint to say Capture ... no idea what I am doing wrong here. 5. Request Cash from AI Controlled Teams Is it possible to get money back off the Teams run by the AI? I know how to transfer money TO them, but can I get cash back OFF them????

I found a work around to Number 1: I can purchase troops and transfer them to the Team: - Buy units - select units - Spacebar - Select Communication - Select Transfer - Choose Team But ... this means that I am spending all my hard earned cash trying to do what the AI should be doing themselves. Which leads me to Question 5. 5. Request Cash from AI Controlled Teams Is it possible to get money back off the Teams run by the AI? I know how to transfer money TO them, but can I get cash back OFF them????

Hi, I am trying to hone my skills as commander by playing the included Civil War mission as a multiplayer game against AI, but I am having a few problems. 1. AI Won't Purchase Troops I have Teams that have thousands of dollars, but are only half full. They are under AI control, but rarely seem to spend the cash. The base has one of everything bar an airfield, and the buildings are not 'in use', so it is not like they CANT buy troops .. they just don't (at least not as often as they should) 2.

I have tried purchasing Team Leaders for myself, but can only assign them to a 'colour', not to a new Team (i.e. team number 9etc) One more thing ... what is Respawn supposed to do?? Any help appreciated. ---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ---------- 4.

I am not 100% sure about this, but you can acheive roughly the same thing like this: Enter map mode (M) CTRL+SPACE (High Command Mode) Select your groups (F1 etc or ` for all) Move your cursor to the town In the menu that has appeared select waypoint Then once the waypoint appears, right click to get waypoint context menu THen select Seek Destroy As long as you place the waypoint directly over the spot that has to be captured, they normally do it. Hope it helps
