Which recent changes would have affected the performance of the AI in my mod?

[wowgetoffyourcellphone]

So, sometime this month, some changes in the base game's code have rendered the AI in Delenda Est neutered. The AI no longer builds the structures listed in petra/config.js and after a short while the civilian citizens they train stand idle at the Civic Center. These things don't happen with vanilla (I've play tested). I thought I kept DE's AI files up to date with all the recent changes, but perhaps there is something I overlooked or there's something with the new changes which negatively affect the mod. Anyone willing to take a look and see what they can find? https://github.com/JustusAvramenko/delenda_est

 

 

The AI in R28 works really well and is pretty deadly, so this is a post-R28 issue.

To be clear, this doesn't affect the release version of the mod, only the latest GitHub branch?

Your Headquarters.jd file manages most of the building, you probably changed the Classes and VisibleClasses of some structures, and so the ai can’t find what it would normally build. You also might have handicapped it in some way by changing required pop/phase or something like that.

It may have been my attackplan.js file. It had not been updated with the deserialization changes.

I need the file because Delenda Est changes "Farmsteads" to Granaries. "Farmsteads" are the capturable Gaia buildings that give the farmland and fertile soil auras.  

 

This does not solve the AI not building special buildings though. hmm

So, it seems like the AI stops attempting to gather wood, stone, or metal at some point now, and then can't phase up to Town phase.

That’s something that needs to be added to the config file iirc, but they’ll only build them in City Phase.
