Hello everybody! I would like to inform you that we never stopped our work on Arms Race. Last month we spent a lot of time on adjusting economic mechanics for AI and budget. Arms Race has deeper and more advance Ai and economy system compare to TCWE. And we were doing our best to make sure Ai knows how to use it.
If you take a look on screenshot below you can see blue and red lines of GNP. The screenshot was taking from my test game I played this morning. I was playing as USSR and my line is red. I decided to go for many investments right away and this why my GNP is smaller compare to blue. AI invested less and it's GNP was growing faster. But the most impressive part is that AI has a good feel about it's GNP. You can see when blue GNP goes down AI is trying to avoid investments to different sectors and aim on GNP improvement. You can see after blue GDP goes down AI has fixed it spending and kept GNP growing. This what we were doing last month - creating absolutely functional economy system and teaching AI how to use it. Now it works and we full ahead to work on other game mechanics!
