 Post subject: Hard AI Stalemate in Demo
PostPosted: Tue Mar 02, 2004 4:25 pm 
I didn't download the very latest Demo so excuse me if this problem is fixed in a later patch or in the actual game. I did look through the patch features and didn't see anything like this but maybe I missed it.

I just played a game(have a replay of it and a save) on the demo against a Hard AI, and I made a mistake with some indemnity funds and I also made another mistake in invading a country before I was really setup. Currently, the AI has 6 planes and I have 7, I have more countries than it and 233% influence, but neither of us has any units that can move!!! There is no draw, the game just sits there and I hit end combat, and its another combat round. I should really be given a win or a draw but nothing happens.

Is this sort of thing fixed in later patches or in the actual game?

i've been playing MA for like 4 months but for the first time hear about such situation being possible.All i can suggest is just leave it alone and start another game.
and btw can you please log in and post the replay of this game i think everybody will be interested to look :roll:

Yes, it is possible but is very rare. Such situation may be treated as draw, so as soon you have an advantage, my congratulation for both very rare case and almost victory :-)

Here is the replay though for all I know, it may only work for the Massive Assault v.1.0.190 demo.

I also have two saves, at an earlier point when I went to bed and also at the point of the stalemate which I will post if someone requests it.

Obviously, I'm just going to leave it alone because there is nothing to be done. But I am annoyed that I have not won with my 233% balance, since there are only air units.

PS: I'm not very good, so don't laugh at my playing.

PSS: There is also something ridiculously dumb that the AI does near the end of the game thats kind of funny. Two corner provinces belong to red (I am green) and I send a single land unit toward each from opposite directions. The AI has 3 planes at one of these provinces and keeps sending them back and forth. But then at a point where I say to myself, well "At least I'll get one of the two provinces", the AI does the worst possible move and loses both provinces and all 3 of its planes.

you could just load up that earlier save and try again, if you still have units in it.

I could certainly do that, but I'd rather start a game from scratch some other time.

I posted this because it was a weird, rare happening, and I was wondering if it was sort of a bug that the game doesn't realize no one has land units and no one can ever recruit land units and end the game as either a draw or a victory for a 200+ balance player.

61 turns, wow. Should a similar situationa rrise again, try using a transport or 2, it'll save u many turns of getting blown aaprt by his planes while ur units move into his country. Feel free to challenge any of the top ppl for mentoring games, they'll show u how useful tranports can be too :)

I am planning on buying the game, just not now, I have a lot of work to do. I should have removed the demo so it doesn't tempt me like that. ;-)

When I buy it, however, I'm very much looking forward to playing with all the naval units and learning how to play a little better with things like transports. That world editor looks pretty nifty too.
