Description:
A mod for players who desire a more engaging naval game in modded random country placement games.
INSTRUCTIONS BELOW

Have you ever played with a random country placement mod and thought to yourself: "Man! The AI is SO BAD at creating fleets from scratch! IF ONLY THERE WAS AN EASY WAY TO SPAWN IN TONS OF SHIPS WITH THE CLICK OF A FEW BUTTONS!"?

FEATURES

Two decisions for the player:

1: Give ALL AI countries ship technology and navy xp based on the amount of dockyards under their control.

2: Instantly build up to 3 naval dockyards on every single coastal tile.

A bundle of ship-spawning scripts for the AI:

– 9 different decisions
– AI can only pick one
– number of ships and quality of ships based on dockyards + technology

INSTUCTIONS

1: First press the "Create Dockyards Everywhere" decision. Wait for one in-game hour at minimum. (The AI needs at least one dockyard to create a navy.)

2: Then press the "Give Tech Based on Dockyards" decision. (This gives the relevant countries the technology needed to create the specific ship designs described in the AI decisions.)

3: Sit back and relax as all eligible AI countries create a navy.

Known Incompatibilities

New Ship turret and slot

Using this with any mod that adds extra ship slots might break some (if not all) of my ship designs. It is highly unlikely that the mod will work perfectly with any mod that adds or removes module slots to ship hulls.

Known Compatibilities

Man the Guns Expanded

Research tree overhauls and general overhauls will work as long as the vanilla files are untouched.

I’ve made a version of this mod that’s compatible with Frigate’s Content Pack . Link: AI Navy Generator (Frigate’s Content Pack Version) . (note: I haven’t updated this to 1.12 yet)

Known Bugs

out of the 60+ countries generating a navy, a handful or less may fail creating some or all of their ships. It is unclear why this happens, since everything seems to be in order in the code department. It shouldn’t have any effect on the gameplay though. There’s still at least 55+ other fleets to look out for, after all.

Do I need By Blood Alone for the carrier planes?

No. The mod checks if you have BBA, and gives you the relevant kinds of planes and plane techs.
