Why doesn't the AI concede?

Post by Slowbius »

Hi all,

I'm playing a cooperative game with a friend and we've achieved our stated objectives as well as wiping out all visible Russians, and yet the AI will not concede. Is this a flaw in the game mechanic or playing as intended?

We really don't want to plough through another 9 turns searching for stragglers who are hidden away in buildings.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

If you have not yet won then either it's because you haven't dealt with all the victory conditions, or it could be a bug. Sometimes the fact you need to find them all is part of the pacing of the mission.

I'm fairly certain that we've met all victory conditions so could be a bug. Perhaps I'll flag it later when I get home!

Pip - I'm convinced it's a bug. All victory conditions have been met and exceeded. Nothing happens each enemy AI turn (no movement, action etc) so the only option we have is to concede the game and start a new one. Quite an annoying end to an otherwise enjoyable scenario.

I can't find the scenario you mean - which campaign is it in?

And you have played past the turn limit? It looks like it is 16 turns.

Still have a couple of turns to go I think but we've achieved (and surpassed) all stated objectives. However the Russian AI won't give up even though it doesn't actually do anything on its turn.

Ok this is just plain annoying now. I'm just about at the end of another cooperative scenario now (Behind Enemy Lines) and have achieved the stated objective which is to destroy 22 German supply trucks, and yet the AI insists on carrying on and is refusing to concede.

This is making cooperative games unplayable as it's impossible to win.

Pip, am I missing something here?

I can't say. As far as I can tell nobody else has had these issues. Are you sure you are getting to the end turn on the scenarios?

We're achieving the winning conditions several turns before the specified end turn. I would have expected the game to end once we meet our goals, or is this not how it works?

I would guess not! Try just ending turns over and over until it ends. You guys might just be too good.
