FORK | SHEEP AI 1.17.* | UNLIMITED
SHOULD RUN ON ANY 1.17.* VERSION
MIGHT MAKE 1.16.10 VERSION NEXT AS 1.17 IS AN INSANE TRASH.
So, this is basically the latest version of the Sheep AI mod, but with the help of the great and terrible neuroslop, I’ve done the following:
1) Removed the restrictions imposed by is_ai checks and their equivalents. Why, and what does this achieve? Well, there used to be a bunch of checks that forced one AI to “go easy” on another AI. Now, one bot won’t go easy on another bot just because it’s a bot. AI Allies will crush AI Germany in Benelux, AI Germany will form a collaborationist government with AI USSR, Germany will spam submarines like crazy against AI Allies, and so on. Each AI essentially thinks that a player is always playing against it, and therefore will give it their all.
2) In some places, I simplified third-party checks or removed the check for the historical focus. Now, with the historical focus, Germany will carry out Sealion.
3) The Sheep AI is generally pretty dumb in non-historical scenarios because the base AI settings are only slightly modified there; it’s very good in scripted situations but has almost no flexibility. Using neuroslop, I managed to integrate the “combat” defines and ai_strategy files from the Frontline AI mod; now the AI won’t be as clueless in non-standard situations. If a landing takes place, the bot will commit entire army groups to it, rather than 7 divisions, half of which won’t even make it to shore.
I don’t know if I’ll update it if the original Sheep AI gets updated further; I’m very lazy. If you’re not too lazy, feel free to fork the mod—I don’t really care either way.
Have fun.
