I�ve been thinking about buying WarPlan and my intention is to play against the AI only. Since I already have SC WiE I�m a bit curious about how challenging the WP ai is in comparison?

Similar fuzzy logic. Both have scripted situations although the scripting system is different.

Really depends on the player. I have a dozen different A.I. levels to make it challenging. WarPlan A.I. has different strategies and some sneaky things. There is always fine tuning which has been happening as I go under the hood. Currently I am focused on bug control and writing the Pacific WarPlan.

Thanks for your reply, Alvaro.

I�ve been been reading some older posts in this forum and it seems like the ai in WarPlan is quite challenging for the non-expert (like myself...)
I also suppose playing mostly historical and by using some house rules will help the ai a bit.

Since you mention Pacific WarPlan, will that one be released as a dlc or a separate game?

It will be a separate game since the Pacific will have different situations.

For example the # in a fleet had doubled.
Single capital ships
Naval and air specializations.
Night missions will be more important.

Few more other features added.

I have both and have played more WiE than WP. So far, I'm finding the AI in WP to be a little static. Too soon to make a full evaluation but somehow the game isn't as engrossing as WiE.

I started my first test game on WP as Axis, Veteran and Exellent supply. Attacked Poland but the ai did nothing but retreating until they surrendered.
Afterwords I did an early 40 attack on France and made some deliberate gaps on my border. Next turns, nothing from the French. Very static I must say.
I have to note that the scenario description tells that the 39 scenario is best played as human Allies vs Axis ai. Nevertheless the Allies ai seems a bit too timid. I may have to buff up the difficulty a few steps to see if that makes the ai more aggressive.
