Hi everybody!
Everyone who played Armored Brigade knows that maps are one of the best element of the game. Highly precise and derived from real ones, they provide battlefields for every need.
We have already covered in one Dev Diary the incredible amount of work that Veitikka Studios put in the process of creating such detailed maps.

Major Max Maurer sat quietly in his command-post, contemplating what the next day or two might bring. His command, “D” Company of 311 Panzergrenadier Battalion, 31 Panzergrenadier Brigade was as ready as he could have it. He was pleased with the calm professionalism his team had displayed during their deployment to Rotenburg, and for the seamless way his reinforcements had amalgamated into their new command. It spoke highly of the pre-war training the brigade and division had underwent, to prepare them for this moment.

Western Europe is on the brink of a direct confrontation with the Warsaw Pact. Diplomatic relations have worsened to a level never witnessed before. Rumors of intensive military exercises conducted by Soviet officials in many Eastern countries have finally convinced NATO members about the reality of a quick escalation.
The clock is ticking. Are you ready to do your part?

Juha Kellokoski, the main game designer from Veitikka Studios, will give us a short overview on a very important topic: how to effectively plan and manage your units during a battle! Kudos to Juha for this great article
In this Dev Diary entry I will show one way to manage a defensive battle plan. As an example, I've decided to play as the United States Army, defending against the Soviet Union. Armored Brigade battles have three phases: the setup phase, the action phase and the after action report phase. Here I'm going through the setup phase. The player must designate his target reference points (TRP) and place obstacles, if he has any, and optionally he can plan unit paths, fire missions etc.

The Armored Brigade artificial intelligence (AI) is fully dynamic, which means that it can handle any scenario within the game parameters, without a need for any scripting from the scenario designer. This approach has been the basic foundation of the game. I've always found the procedurally generated game content fascinating, and that can be seen in the design philosophy of Armored Brigade.
In Armored Brigade, there's an undefined number of maps, units, environmental conditions, and so on. The system must build a readable representation, process the input and then produce output that creates a credible impression of intelligence that behaves in a realistic, unpredictable and challenging manner. That's quite a challenge indeed. A "chess AI", where you have a finite number of possible states, is out of the question.

Armored Brigade is one of these rare projects that are the best candidates to evolve an entire market.
