New AI!

[bebro]

Great news, good feature list, and very good looking preview screens. Has it been decided already if this comes as download only, or possibly as hardcopy too?

edit: ahh...just seen the DVD box... I guess this answers it

[El_Condoro]

I'll start with some questions
1. If AK is compatible with PzC Wehrmacht, will units that start out with desert camo swap to European camo when they move to Europe and vice versa?
2. In which ways has the AI been improved?

Yes.

2. In which ways has the AI been improved?

It is too early to tell at this point. I'll have more details to share by the time we start the beta. For now I can only indicate three main directions of AI work for Africa:
- Fixing the most commonly mentioned annoyances in AI play
- Improving its performance on offense
- Extending available options for AI scripting and configuration available in the editor

Depending on how these changes affect existing campaigns, new AI may not be active in them by default, although it will be possible to activate it manually.

That sounds brilliant! Can't wait...

[Longasc]

*raises an eyebrow*

Fascinating!

[soldier]

Looks very good. I hope some gameplay features get expanded upon or introduced (like supply) and not only new units and scenario's.

[parusski]

Ready and waiting. Bring it on.

Looking forward to it! Not to mention the Beta! Will there be an different sign up for the AC beta or being part of the PC beta be enough?

Hmm, I doubt there will be a different signup.
After all it was also thanks to all these beta testers that the game is successful.

[Carius]

Its looking good so far with the few screen shots available to look at. I hope there are more improvement made to the Scenario editor.

Amazing announcement! Can't wait!!!

[OmegaMan1]

The new screenshots look awesome... like everyone else said above, can't wait to hit the sands of North Africa!

[Vaughn]

I've been missing Africa. It is my favorite theater of the war.

I was kind of wishing they would incorporate a naval core, but I suppose this is Afrika Korps not Kreigsmarine Korps.

Actually I think that would make an awesome DLC. The River Plate, the hunt for the Bismarck, U-Boat action, PQ-17, the Channel Dash, a speculative scenario with the Graf Zeppelin ...

An Atlantic Corps?

This looks amazing! I can't wait!

Will you be able to import a core from the vanilla campaign or the grand campaign into Afrika Korps?

I doubt. At least from the later years.
